I know that I lose access to my free games if I cancel my PSN+ membership, but does it work the same way for Xbox Live Gold? Can I redownload and play the game for free on my Xbox 360 even if I cancel my XBL Gold, or do the games lock without a current subscription? MS doesn't have a direct answer on their Games with Gold website.
