During the launch period of Halo 3, the 25th, 26th and 27th of September, Best Buy will be sponsoring the Xbox Live Gold service and making it free for everyone. Think of it as Halo Free Gold Days. That means that even if you only have Xbox Live Silver, or you picked up a 360 just for Halo 3, that you’ll be able to try ALL the features – online co-op, Multiplayer, Forge editing, viewing networked Saved Films and using our File Share system.

If only I didn't have to go to school...

I double that post, Conscars. If that's true, then that is a major blow to Halo 3's Forge system. Can someone confirm this to be untrue?

I have XBL Gold, so I don't really care.
But by Forge I think they mean you can't download other people's maps and such, you can still make them.

I thought forge was a gametype, not a map editor? Also not everyone has XBL gold.

I'm not allowed to get any new games till December, so no Halo 3 for me this month. I am allowed to simply play on weekends, so I might try this free LIVE out with games I already have, like Gears of War.

Yes, I have a 360 but no LIVE. I phail :( but I don't want to buy it and my parents wouldn't allow it anyway.
