Xbox Live is free this weekend
Microsoft has announced that starting from today (sometime) they are upgrading all Xbox Live silvers (standard) to gold members so that you too can go online and pwn at Black Ops. Or listen to the incredibly frustrating American Halo Reach players telling you what they did to your mother last night in their highly annoying screechy 12 year old voice. …



If you haven't visited Xbox.com recently, you wouldn't have noticed that a few changes have taken place. Microsoft have now added the ability to try out the new Xbox Dashboard Experience within their website by simulating the interface using flash. It does a pretty decent job of showing you how its going to work on a basic level but we are going to have wait for it's release before we get to fiddle around with all of the functions. Seeing that we don't really get to choose whether or not we want to switch to the new interface, we can at least start warming up to the idea. I personally think that the new dashboard is looking fantastic compared to the current one and the avatars aren't looking bad at all. Throw in the party system and 8 player conference chat and I am pretty much completely sold.
