    Perfect timing :)

    I was planning on boosting with a silver account. With this event, I won't need to use one of my 48-hour passes.

    YaY!

    How often do these usually happen? I am trying to plan how I will work through some of the Portal 2 achievements with one a friend, particularly the mentor one, and this would be perfect.. if I weren't going to be too busy to do it this weekend.

    How far along do I need to be in the game to use this? And is it something that I can pick up and use at a later date?

    I would say these happen 2-4 times a year. You are never going to get much notice, if you want to plan stuff you need Gold.

    Asking mostly because we need a third account that hasn't played the game for both myself and my friend to do all of the achievements, and on a free gold weekend we can just create a new account to accomplish that.

    As soon as you enter the main city, don't remember the name. One or two hours in the game smile

    You can save them, once redeemed, and can use it any time after reaching sanctuary (or any time at all in someone elses game if they have sanctuary unlocked).

    The catch is that a golden key gives you something at your level (usually purple)....so you can use it early, and get low level gear, or wait and get some decent high level stuff.

    If you follow gearbox on twitter and/or Facebook, they give out golden key codes a few times a month, so no real need to hoard them.
    Look at me so I can finish!

    Code doesn't work in the UK :(

    EDIT: That was according to my brother. The code DOES work, but he redeemed from the Xbox Guide.
    Bored of Life? Good.

    You can enter shift codes from the main menu of the game, no need to make any progress in it.

    Just create a new XBL account, it gets gold for what, one month?

    The Gold keys code for BL2 also works in the Netherlands, even though we don't have a free Gold weekend.
    Just got three keys from the code.

    You only get three 1-month trials per Xbox (all of which can only be used on newly created accounts). So why waste them for a thing that's only a couple hours naturally?
    Gamers have only two hobbies: playing games, and complaining about those games.
