Xbox Live Family Gold $100 for 4 Gold accounts
Microsoft is loading up the family cannon and turning on the heat for the holidays. Check out the news from the press release on what is included in the Family Pack. I like the idea of being able to dish out points across all accounts. The greatest most unbelievable part about this is that Microsoft isn’t going to try and restrict it to one console. The sub-accounts aren’t tied to a single console so you can really make it a family affair and save someone some money. This makes it a ridiculous new entry into the Xbox LIVE family of subscriptions.
Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack:
- Up to four individual Xbox LIVE Gold memberships for the price of two – (US) $99.99
- Family Center – a single, easy to use, destination for Family Settings and account management, accessible on the Xbox dashboard and on Xbox.com
- The primary account member has the ability to purchase and dispense Microsoft Points to other Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack members
- Activity monitoring reports viewable on Xbox.com to help encourage discussions about safer more balanced gaming and entertainment habits
- Simplified billing that applies all purchase charges to the primary account holder’s billing account and the ability to authorize purchases, helping to manage the family’s entertainment budget
- Exclusive family content and discounts
This November I think you’ll find me on Family Avenue getting my Family Gold subscription on! It’s a great value. SOLID GOLD!

Yeah this really should have been emplemented earlier. We are already spending $100 on gold at our house. I also like the ability to distribute points among the profiles.

Well this is good news for households with that many online gamers. Right now for me I have only 2 online gamers even though there are 4 people in my house who game. I can still get 2 1 year subscriptions for around 70 total. I know its only 30 for 2 more people but still a waste for me as my kids do not play online yet.
