Hey Europe, Xbox LIVE is free this weekend photo

Ah, those Microsoft guys are such a giving bunch. Xbox LIVE is free in Europe this weekend. Why? Well, there’s a little event called Xtival a’coming.

We first heard about Xtival last week, when Capcom announced their official European Street Fighter IV tournament. So, if you’re thirsty to prove mad Ken skills but you’re unwilling to pay Xbox LIVE Gold fees, May 1 to 4 seems like the perfect time do so. Just watch out -- other players will be rocking Championship Mode matches for a much longer period of time.

Of course, you could also play other games online as well. We suggest Halo 3. Nothing says Xbox LIVE more than a horde of potty-mouthed American 14-year-olds.

OH MY GOD THE Xtival! How can they even come close to topping last year's free theme!? I'm literally the most excited I have EVER been!

Are they giving out free dpads too, so that 360 owners can actually play Street Fighter?

I love how Microsoft give....but only in small amounts. Before 2 weeks ago they didn't offer much for free. Now it's "Give gold subscribers a little, and tease the Silver members, MWAHAHA!", "Give people LIVE for 4 days instead of a week, or even forever like Sony, MWAHAHA!, and then another Microsoft offer I forgot.....

It's good, it's just they should offer it for longer and not just when other companies arrange tournaments etc.
