The promotion will prove to be perfect timing for non-Gold-using GTA fans, with the free period falling just days after the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online, which went live earlier today (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/431588/when-does-is-gta-v-online-go-live/).
Xbox owners in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico will get their chance at Gold access on Oct. 11 - 14, while players in Japan will have to wait until Nov. 7 - 10.
