Lancer Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Me too. I'll be making a ton of secondary accounts. I'm an addict when it comes to that for some reason. Usually when I get trials I make secondaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another thing that Halo 4 did well... they included a two-week free trial in the box instead of those lame 48 hour ones that usually come with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, sorry for the late reply, Dad had to upload some videos onto my laptop. Throughout the weekend, as a promotion, every account will have Xbox Live GOLD enabled. Not that big of a woop if you already have gold, but for those who have yet to renew or purchase it, It isn't too shabby. Also gives people a taste of GOLD if they haven't had a Gold account yet.
