Free Xbox Live for Grand Theft Auto IV
Written Tuesday, February 10, 2009 By Jeff Lao

Microsoft has announced that Xbox Live will be free between February 17th and February 22nd, when playing either GTA IV or the new and upcoming DLC, The Lost and Damned.  No Gold accounts are necessary to join in on the fun, so take full advantage of this if you or friends don't have a gold subscription.  Enjoy the five days of free Xbox Live on GTA IV!

@#5 lol, thats a bit harsh, maybe theres people who play games every now and then, they might be able to afford it be would rather spend their money elsewhere.

I'm not even considering getting the dlc, let alone play GTA IV again, ive never really liked it and i dont know why i even bought it in the first place!!!

^^^

just so your aware, the marketplace is getting alot of traffic. as an example - 3.8 million songs are downloaded each month from RB and GH alone just on the 360.

COD4 has hit 11 million (unique users total, not at once)
thats the same as as many ppl playing WoW.

MS doesn't need to try and lure ppl into Live.

Thats not true TJUK

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Tales of Vesperia
GTA4 without online
Dead Rising
Eternal Sonata
Blue Dragon

Those are all great games that dont need someone to play on Xbox Live with. :P

There are plenty more games than that. Of course, a certain amount of taste goes into that. I loved Eternal Sonata, though, glad to see someone else talk about it.

Of course, I wonder what the hell this free Live week is going to accomplish. If someone doesn't have Live, playing the online mode of GTA4 won't persuade them to get it. And if MS is trying to be nice, they're failing. This barely qualifies as throwing the players a bone.

Too bad they took the fun out of GTA in the first place, every single other GTA game had the fun factor. I'd rather play Vice City Stories on my PSP with my mates to be honest, this won't lure me back to play GTA IV and certainly won't lure me in to buy the DLC.

Yes, those are great games to play w/out needing a LIVE account (my fellow gamers have already pointed out games you somehow failed to mention) - but there are so many more games that will never get old or lose their replay value b/c of a strong multiplayer experience. An Xbox 360 w/out LIVE is like going to an arcade and not playing - there is so much being missed out on.

Am I right in thinking, from reading the article, LIVE will be free between 17th and 22nd, but you can only play GTA4 online?
If so, that is a really bad decision. GTA4 is one of the worst online games I have played and probably wont attract people to purchase LIVE - it may even stray people away from buying it!
Just for the record, I have LIVE already, just putting my thoughts out there.

Everyone is saying that they have already traded in GTA already, but why? It's one of the most fun games to play online with friends in free mode. E.g. Having a stand off against the police, holding out a building like the Majestic etc.

I think that the new DLC will be a refreshing addition to GTA and hopefully bring more people back on it.

Maybe this will be Microsoft's test to see how many more ppl will play online if Live is free...of course that assumption is flawed due to the fact that
A) not all ppl will necessarily know it's free unless they already have silver and
B) not a lot of ppl necessarily play GTA 4

GTA is great online, just because all you tried was team deathmatch, doesn't mean it sucks. Team Mafiya Work, Car Jack City, Turf War, Race, GTA Race, and Cops N Crooks, are some of the best multiplayer gaming available.

XBOX LIVE should not be free. Its only $4 a month if you buy 12 month subscription. It costs alot to maintain servers. If you want free go to PS3(who are desperate for new users so there network is free). Microsoft is not desperate they are smart in using GTA4 for the 5 free days who hasn't heard of it and there are still alot of people playing online. I cant wait for the DLC.

Whats with all the haters? Maybe the majority of X360 owners is children aged under 15, so they have to get their parents to pay for live gold, what if their parents say no? £40 to have ur child dedicate the majority of his life to his 360 and barely go out the house. Or the opposite, spend £40 and your child doesn't even go on it. Then this is helpful to those people who struggle to get Xbox Live.

Thankyou MS and Rockstar for allowing us to play a game for free. Microsoft and the word "free" don't conjoin in a sentence that often, so lets jus appreciate it huh guys?

I don't really understand why so many people have problems with this. Alot of people will probably try this out, and it's not for just 24 hours, it's for 5 days.

And I will agree that GTA IV's online is not the best around. But I bet the people who totally hated it, never gave it much of a chance. Public Free Mode games with friends is an amazing experience, and one I can't get on any other Live game. And it is also Rockstar Games' first step into online multiplayer, so expect bigger things in the future.

@88 xbox live is worth the money. quit cher whinin!

GTA IV online sucks. it should always be free. i traded in my copy of GTA IV for left 4 dead and i'm not gonna go buy it again so i can pay another $20 for more lame missions. GTA IV was an overhyped piece of crap. Just Cause was a better game. i havn't played any of the saints row games but i wouldnt be surprised if they were better too.

guys stop hating. GTA 4 was fun, it had a good multiplayer and a decent story, much better then saints row. seeing as how it has a main character, and not some random user made guy. and with the free mode online of GTA 4 was fun, just to mess around with.

I enjoyed GTA IV.

Maybe it's just a game that you have to prepare to immerse yourself into. I'll buy the DLC, but I won't like it for $20!

I guess, I am itching for another ride in GTA IV.

I've never seen such a grand display of assholes in my life. Keep playing Halo queer baits. When you wanna grow up, GTA will be there waiting. I guess it's just the "cool" thing to hate on GTA IV so you'll all come around.

sweet, although i just got my gold tho =( o well, its a great game, halo 3 is good, gears is fun, whats the problem with gta IV? i mean i only got gold because of the free trials, so if people play GTA IV online, the will probly get gold, more ppl getting gold = more money. Brilliant plan if u ask me.

For those of you wondering how the hell ppl don't have a gold account, please shut the hell up. The economy being what it is, some of us are a bit tight on money and bills and XBL is WAY the hell down the priority list. I for one will take what I can get at this point.

Also #31, I'll take that 40 bucks if you're still offering =P

"The economy being what it is"
lolololol
£5 a month or £40 (I'm gusing they charge the same amount in $'s as you said 40 bucks, which means it's even less for you) a year (or any of the plans inbetween) isn't exactly much is it, I make practically no money and always have Gold

This is just lame Microsoft, this won't make up for all the DLC you make us pay for when the creators wanted it free

I imagine Fallout is the same but I've never played it

Ah nice, I know it's a bit uppity but I just don't see how people can like Mass Effect
Hearing people are traditional fans makes me happy
and it's funny you should say "Mass who?" as I often forget the name of Mass Effect, I'd be sitting there for up to an hour going "Mass...no no that can't be right...Mass..." it's terrible

Ummmm if im not mistaken aint this thread about GTA IV and 5 days free XBL? Err so why are people going on about mass effect, COD 4, GOW 2 and fallout 3?? Anyway GTA IV to me was over-hyped and extremely boring and repetitive. As for the online side of it... hahahaha laggy as hell!! I aint gonna waste my MS points on the download, i'd rather use them on something far far better than that.

What is honestly wrong with spending £40 on a Gold card which lasts a whole Year?

Thats around £3 a month to use Xbox Live so its not bad,
