Xbox LIVE Silver members are getting a treat this weekend. Starting tomorrow, January 28th at 12:00 pm EST all Xbox LIVE Members will be upgraded to Gold Memberships. This will last until Monday, January 31st, 12:00 pm EST. If you are a Silver Member, now is a great time to give Gold a whirl. There is a ton of content on sale for 2K and Rockstar Games, including DLC for Read Dead Redemption and the co-optimal Borderlands. As a Gold member, you'll now be able to play these games online with gamers around the globe. Just remember to finish up all your business by noon on Monday, because that's when your Gold Membership will turn back into a pumpkin, Cinderella.
*Update* Samoza from the UK here. It appears that due to technical reasons the free weekend will be region specific. So far, the US is still getting the deal, but all bets are off for the UK who will get the deal at a later date.
