Plenty of Xbox and 360 goodness at the Tokyo Game Show and X06

The Tokyo Game Show & X06 will be beamed into our living rooms..if you have Xbox live that is.

Check out the Press release for more info.

Multiplayer, fully connected gaming action, including the ability to choose from a full calendar of events such as competitions and Game With Fame sessions, is usually only available to Xbox Live Gold members. However, on 20th September at 00.01 local time, Xbox will flick the switch, giving gamers in Europe full access and the chance to see what everyone is talking about, until the free trial ends on 29th September at 23.59 local time.

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.

Oooh a week of free gold live and lots of nice content

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.
