For most people, anyway
Starting today, Microsoft is throwing an Xbox LIVE Gold party, and everyone from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, and the United States is invited. That is to say, Gold is free from today through Sunday.
So, if you've been cheaping out on the service for awhile now, it's a good time to enjoy benefits like online multiplayer, Internet browsing, Video Kinect, various entertainment apps, and more.
