[quote name='Nomar1245']Unfortunatlely no. Silver just allows you to check out the demos, media, marketplace stuff, but not online play.
The funny thing though, is if you get a free 48 hours of Gold you still can't use all the functions like messaging.[/QUOTE]
Funny, I've had silver for months and didn't know that. I had Gold the first year of owning 360, but since I hardly ever used anything Gold offered I never renewed it. It makes me hate Microsoft a little more, but oh well, not a big deal. I doubt it'll last long. I'd be surprised if they still didn't offer free online play a year from now.
