Microsoft is offering discounts on many of its subscription-based services, as it did last year. Microsoft ‘Work and Play’ bundle as the offer is known will be available to customers for $149 only.
Microsoft Work and Play Bundle
The bundle combines 12-month subscriptions to Office 365 Home, Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Music Pass and WiFi + Skype Unlimited World for $149. Earlier too, Microsoft was giving away the bundled package of services at affordable prices but for a brief time period only. the offer was limited and expired soon thereafter. However, it was very well received.
This time the software giant is advertising the bundle as a saving of $250 over the price users pay for owning each of the subscriptions, if purchased as separate units.
Beginning April 6, customers in the U.S. will be able to buy the bundle for $149 at Microsoft Store.com. Last November, the same bundle cost $199. This time rather than making the Work & Play bundle available through Microsoft’s stores, the company is making it available online.
