To really use as an Xbox 360 as a media device you need to have an Xbox Live Gold subscription. For gamers this isn’t an issue. They are used to paying for Xbox Live Gold, and most would argue that they feel they get what they are paying for. The online multiplayer experience offered from Microsoft has always been considered far superior to the free offering from Sony’s PlayStation Network. For those simply looking to use an Xbox for watching Netflix, Hulu+, or listening to their Xbox Music Pass content, the $59.99 yearly subscription fee is a little harder to swallow. We hear complaints constantly from people who wonder why they should need to pay Microsoft an additional subscription just to use the apps for the services to which they already subscribe. We go into that argument today, but we do have some good news. If you’re curious to check out what Xbox Live Gold offers you can now purchase a year subscription for as low as [amazon_link id=”B0029LJIFG” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]$34.99[/amazon_link].
Amazon offers two methods of purchasing an Xbox Live Gold subscription. For those who simply must have the code immediately you can purchase a one-year subscription as a downloadable code for [amazon_link id=”B002VBWIP6″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=””]$39.99[/amazon_link]. If you can wait a couple of days, you can save $5 by purchasing a card that will be mailed to your house for only [amazon_link id=”B0029LJIFG” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]$34.99[/amazon_link]. Either option is a pretty great deal! We would just like to see these become the new permanent prices!
