Microsoft to discontinue the Gold Family Pack

4.3

Microsoft has confirmed to Joystiq that they have discontinued the popular Gold family pack. What this means for current Family gold pack customers is that their family center settings management suite is still available for them... at this time.

When asked why this bundle which for just $99.99 gave the user four year long gold subscriptions they responded the following:

"We continually evaluate our business focus and work to offer services that make the most sense for our customers and Xbox."

I think they were losing money so they discontinued it

A 12 month XBL card cost $50 so 4 of them would be $200 and they're selling 4 years for a $100 I can see why they cut it off.

There aren't that many people buying this pack anymore, no wonder they discontinued it, it would just make sense.

They must have been losing some money, seems that's the only reason they took it out.

I don't think that this will affect a great percentage of the Xbox community, but it is still a shame that it is to be discontinued. It will be interesting to see whether the 12 month memberships increase or decrease in price due to this change.
