Subject: Xbox LIVE for all this weekend .. except Europe.

So Major Nelson announced this morning that from the 29th to the 2nd, Xbox LIVE features will be free to all users. My LIVE subscription recently ran out so I was pretty happy about this news.

I logged on to Halo 4 to play some matchmaking, and saw that I still couldn't access War Games. Then I read this a quote that listed most of the countries where LIVE is available to be included in this event, except Europe.

Now I'm annoyed...

Why not Europe?

And I can't buy Far Cry 3 on Steam, or AC3 for that matter.

So, you want to hear a story eh? One about treasure hunters? Have I got a story for you!

Should have been free in the first place. Paying monthly fees to play on an ancient machine? Cool story bro.

So we don't have to pay for multiplayer anymore? Something's up

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

Lots of new 360's in North American households after Black Friday. Maybe it's something to do with that?

I don't have any money right now to renew my membership because I'm spending a lot on travel to university every week. I have a 14 day trial, but I don't really want to use it yet, if I'm gonna end up spending days not even playing because of coursework. Free LIVE for the weekend would've been nice...

I've had free Xbox live since January because rather than cancelling it Mico$oft keeps telling me try are charging an expired credit card.

If only I still played my Xbox...

Why does Microsoft hate Europe? I don't live there, but still.

I dont disagree with you at all.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

As an American that has probably had live longer than you I think your complaining is out of place. It is one weekend not a month or a few weeks.

It's more expensive if you pay monthly. Just but the 1 year gold cards.

We're not included because we had a free weekend not too long ago where the rest of the world didnt

I'm going to go with this as the most likely reason.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

In my country (Finland) XBL doesn't have:
This free weekend.
No youtube.
No Xbox Live Indie
No Xbox Live Rewards
No game offers, like Halo 4's specializations etc.

Aaaand we pay the same price as people in US do. I wonder why don't we get the same features.

Country: United States.

I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

About a week of free Live. I'm glad Microsoft is being so damn generous. I wish Sony would do the same thing. I hate knowing there are people out there that have to pay in order to play the same exact games. The Xbox people are going to be playing for that week...Oh wait. PSN is free.

That wouldn't be very nice.

And it doesn't have ads, which Xbox has tons of.

OK, good to know. I'll play AC3 this weekend then.
