Well, I haven't gone into live until a while ago. Silver allowed you to play games online with featured limitations. I understand that xbox users were required to pay if they were both silver and gold memberships. Now my cousins, months ago, tell me that silver is free now. However i read on a blog couple weeks ago that XBL launched the "free XBL on weekends" deal. Is this still ongoing?

Is silver free or not? My cousin played with a 1 month gold, but im not sure if he still can play online with a silver. I searched up many forums and the official 360 XBL account info as well as Google and blogs from different spans of the years are confusing me.

Can silver create/join/host multiplayer games? And what else?

Silver has always been free. Silver is able to play on weekends and holidays only I think, and cannon't download content from live marketplace.

Well I think you can get some content but you can't get demo's or game addons (not 100% sure before I've never had silver).

Silver can download content,

However if it is free content sometimes you have to wait up to two weeks after it goes up before you are able to access it.

All paid content is available for all xbox live members (Silver and Gold)

Any other questions feel free to ask!


Best Regards,
