well the title should be self-explanatory lol. in case its not: i just bought my 360 [oh my god and does it ever feel so frickin good!] but now, before i plug my baby onto Live Silver, i wanna check something out. I don't wanna waste my 1 month gold trial. so i want to wait until a good multiplayer game comes into my hands [Gears, some time soon :D]. but till then, i want to download Bioshock and Stranglehold via Silver. I was wondering, does the Gold trial automatically activate itself the moment u connect to the net? or do u have to choose to activate 'gold trial'?

please do answer! i'm itching to play bioshock, and the skate demo this tuesday !1!!!!oneoneoen~!!

You get 3 free months , so you could make a seperate account and download some demos and stuff, then when you get a multiplayer game you want just start a new account and use it

isn't that..... 'cheating' lol? and can i delete useless accounts? [no not to redeem months].

one more question: connecting is a simple matter of plugging the ethernet cable and saying 'join live' right? cool cool. and 5mbps via bell sympatico should be fast enough right?

now ask my why the hell i'm not on my 360? wtf is wrong with mE!

I only got one free month and I took it when the offer came up. I didn't check if I could get Gold later. It's probably a "spur of the moment offer."

first I was thinking, "why would he do that at the end of a serious post." then I decided it didn't matter and I laughed. Quite heartily.

I have silver right now, and I don't plan to renew it until Halo 3 comes out.

You get 1 free month not 3, but as another poster said, you cant download Bioshock and other new demos with a silver membership, you'll have to wait a week or so. Silver really sucks though, I had it for a week when my gold trial expired, you should take advantage of gold even if you dont have a multiplayer game.
