Much like the free xbox live gold weekend sponsored by Verizon a while back the xbox live operators have decided to give all Silver users a full week of Multiplayer action. Though the accounts will still "look" silver they will have everything that a gold account has. You will also be able to play some of the original xbox titles that are live enabled but not all of them.(halo 2 is playable) So all you silver members better take advantage of this while you can and and go experience what Live has to offer!
