Xbox Live Silver Membership Name Change

This week Microsoft has decided to rename its Xbox LIVE Silver Membership option. The Xbox Community Manager of Europe, Graeme Boyd, tweeted that the membership will now be called ‘Xbox LIVE Free Membership’.

Nothing changes with what the membership gets, it’s simply a name change; although possibly now allowing Microsoft to advertise a free membership option more clearly. The change has started with the Xbox website now saying Xbox LIVE Free instead of Silver, but it will not change on the dashboard of 360s until the Fall Dashboard Update.
