    With Halo 3 I'm sure you can just sign in as a guest. I don't think you can do that with Gears, though.

    Yeah, it'll be there when you sign in. Just make a new silver account, if you want to play Gears with someone.

    Yeah. For Halo 3, yes, but Gears, you're on one screen.

    The second player has to sign in as a guest. You can't do it with every game but I know you can do it with Halo 3.

    when you sign in the second controller (as you are setting up the play session in the lobby) you will set it as a guest and your "guest gamertag" will be the same as the other players but with a (1) next to it ...
