Microsoft is hosting another free Xbox Live Gold weekend in the UK, which runs May 3-5. Now, Silver users can try their hand at multiplayer multiplayer across all games for the system which include the mode. Those who are already subs will be gifted with TV tokens, enabling them to watch various shows through Xbox Video. Plan your weekend accordingly. Thanks, CVG.

Xbox Live Gold cards are now available from Amazon for $35 in a bid to match Best Buy‘s offer at the same price.

The offer applies to physical Gold cards, with Amazon digital codes going for $40 and Best Buy having already sold out, reports Joystiq. Three-month Gold memberships are going for $21 on Amazon but stay at the full price of $25 at Best Buy, which is offering physical Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 12-month Gold membership cards for the $35 sale price, evening it out for some.

This is just a friendly reminder to folks out there, that Silver members of Xbox Live can play online free this weekend.

Live in the US? Been sticking with Xbox Live Silver because the prospect of paying $50 per year to get teabagged and pelted with racial slurs by kids raised on XBL by other kids raised on XBL doesn’t seem all that attractive? Well, for a limited time, a full month of Xbox Live is going for only $1.00. Might as well take the plunge, right?

Granted, there is a catch, but it’s a small one. At the end of your mostly free month, Microsoft will continue charging you for the rest of the year. Canceling is pretty painless, though, so unless it somehow slips your mind for 11 months or, you know, you decide you actually want to keep paying, Microsoft will pick naught but a single Washington from your pocket.

So go on. Make some angry child’s day.

Thanks, Joystiq.
