PSA: Free Xbox Live Gold this weekend

For those among us that have no Xbox Live Gold subscription and would like to see how the other half lives, Microsoft will be temporarily granting Gold-level access to all internet-connected Xboxen this weekend, from Friday, June 1 through Sunday, June 3.

Amazon Instant Video, IGN, Manga and MUZU.TV apps will also be accessible, and while Amazon's prerequisite ancillary Amazon Prime subscription will be required to make use of its "free" streaming catalogue, users will still be able to use it to buy or rent movies/shows for Xbox-enabled viewing over the weekend.
