wow - that's great about the free gold weekend! i'll check it out with my US account(-: seems so far away...
Or perhaps you could check it out with a... South African account? ;)
Yeah, it's great that they run free weekends from time to time... usually coinciding with massive game releases!
it is cool! i'm keen to try it out with a US account to see things like facebook functionality, which the SA one doesn't have. on a side note, i read that Xbox Live SA uses servers based in the UK so it's the same as playing from a UK account. apparently the lag ain't so hot:'( hopefully in the future we'll have some local servers to try our hand at...
