To make sure you can access Xbox Live during the free week, all you need to do is plug a broadband cable into the back of your Xbox 360 console. This will give you the standard Xbox Live Silver membership which will be upgraded automatically on 20th September. Then you’ll get instant access to connected, multiplayer gaming, retro-style Xbox Live Arcade titles, the latest game demos, movie trailers, music videos plus participate in all the exciting events on the Xbox Live Calendar!

I thought if they created an X-Box Live Silver account "now", then they'd get a month of Gold free anyway, or has this been dropped?

Still, it's handy if you've already got an activated silver account.

Good point, I'll bang a mail off and see what they say.

It's certainly going to be a good week.

360 users will probably get less from the Tokyo show than they will from X06 in Barcelona.
I'd say it's pretty much expected for Sony and Nintendo to be the headline acts in Tokyo.

I'm hopeful at somepoint we'll get a demo of FIFA07 or PES6, probably during X06 in Barcelona. Don't get much more of a football loving city than that.
