This is mainly for people who are Gold members since I assume silver members don't think XBL is worth any price regardless of the features, which is why they don't subscribe. If XBL was set up so that silver members could play for free on the weekend, would you still be a gold member?

Yea, most likely. I wanna be able to play multiplayer whenever I want, not just weekends. Plus there's other benefits to being gold.

Yes I would stay gold because I normally play during the weekdays, not the weekends. I don't know why but I can never find the time on weekends.

Yes, id stay Gold because of the benefits. Multiplayer just on the weekends would be pretty pointless.

No. I've been playing a lot of single player games lately. Besides, I have a lot of homework during the week. Weekends would work for me. :D

I guess if I were about to run out I wouldn't be so quick to renew my subscribtion. But I still like playing on the weekdays. Especially since I work in the mornings and only have class twice a week (I love college). So I have a lot of free time during the week.

Yes I would, because I think the services you get from XBL are worth the $5 a month or so you pay for it.

I dont play a whole lot of games during the weekdays, and theres not much on xbox I do wanna play ( IT doesnt help all my friends play COD6, which I dont want!) So for me, free weekends would be enough

No. I don't play online multiplayer much right now. If there were free weekends that would be convenient for me since I don't intend to play online but a couple days a week anyway.

yes I would still pay. If they offered free weekends then they would lower the price of subscriptions to keep people paying. So not only would I game whenever I want but at a lower price as well

Yes. Not only do I play during the week, but if that happened the price would probably go down. =-)

Actually, if I got free weekends, I might end up enjoying it enough to want to play it during the week... upon which I might actually pay for it. But probably not.

If they gave you free weekends, probably not since I'm in school and don't game as much during the weekdays.

Yeah I'd still pay for gold. $50 a year is almost nothing for the service.

I usually like going out on the weekends, so I like having Gold all the time. But if just playing online became free and all that Gold features still had a a fee, I wouldn't subscribe to Gold.

Nope, if I was going to do many of the things Microsoft is charging for, I'd go on the PC instead (online gaming, facebook, netflix etc.)
