Unite to Fight - 3 Days Free Xbox Live
The Halo 3 madness continues with several announcements slated for launch week in a Unite to Fight campaign involving Microsoft, Halo 3 and several other companies. The stage is set and they’re gearing up to make this the biggest entertainment launch in history. There are plenty of goodies scheduled for Halo fans.
One of the more interesting goodies is Best Buy sponsoring three (3) free days of Xbox Live Gold. From September 25 - 27, Xbox Live Gold will be free for everyone so that you can get your hands on some Halo 3 online action. There are plenty of Play & Win opportunities, midnight launch events, a sweet Pontiac and more to get your hands on. Stay tuned and alert so you don’t miss your opportunity to win points, prizes and other cool Halo 3 themed merchandise.

Free for everyone, even people who don’t have or care about Halo 3? I can’t find any official announcement links anywhere. All the stuff on Best Buy’s site talks about it in relation to Halo 3. And, my account doesn’t seem to be behaving like a gold one right now. So what exactly is the deal here?

it’s free to everyone. Xbox Live is free for 3 days…not Halo Xbox Live lol so yeah…it’s free for everyone. Live might just be experiencing issues.

I guess it must be. I go to my profile page on the web, and I’m still not shown as gold. I try to send a message to someone on my friend list (via the web), and it says that a gold account is required for that feature.
Either the promotion is not active yet, it’s not *really* full access to XBL Gold for 3 days, or they’re experiencing issues. Because my account is clearly not acting like it’s Gold yet, not as far as the xbox.com web site can determine.
