We're guessing this is an extension of the "free play day" rumour that was going around last month, but Microsoft has confirmed that all Xbox Live Gold members can play Forza Motorsport 5 for FREE this weekend.

Between 12:01am PDT on Thursday, September 4th, and 11:59pm on Sunday, September 7th, you can download and play the game until your heart's content. Any achievements or Gamerscore you earn will be awarded as normal and saved games will of course be kept, so if you decide to take the plunge and buy the game after the free weekend, you can carry on from where you left off.

It'll probably take a little while to download though, depending on your connection speed, but still...this is a nice move all the same.
