Microsoft 360 Rings

Free Xbox Live weekend – starts now

And it’s for a good cause too.

An announcement from Microsoft reveals that you can have all access to the Xbox Live Gold subscription all weekend for free. Not too shabby.

Here are the details –

“Play your favorite Xbox 360 games and raise money for your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. Sign up to participate and gather donations from friends and family—the more you play, the more they give. In support of G3, Xbox LIVE is offering a Free Gold Weekend to everyone on the weekend of August 18, 2012.”

From 8/17 until 8/19, not only do you get to play online games for free on your Xbox, but you’ll also be helping your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital raise funds while doing so. It’s a good time to be a gamer.

Let us know what you think of the free weekend – @darkzerouk
