Amazon Severely Discounts Xbox Live Gold Accounts

If you've been holding off on picking up next year's Xbox Live Gold membership, you may want to check out today's Amazon sale.

An Xbox Live Gold membership certainly can give you access to a lot of content, but a year's subscription isn't the cheapest thing in the world. However, if you've been meaning to pick up said membership then you should head over to Amazon today.

The site's marked Gold Subscription Cards down by 33%. They normally sell for $59.99, but they're going for $39.99 today. This is actually a really solid deal, since you can buy a couple of these at the same time. I did this a while ago and am set through 2014.

Amazon's been showing gamers some serious love this week. On Monday, the store <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115596-Amazon-Hacks-Slashes-Dragon-Age-Prices>severely discounted its Dragon Age Pack.

I wouldn't call this "severe". Costco does this regularly, or even better with included MS points.

I've never had XBL Gold before, but this seems like a pretty good price. I generally play online via my PC or PS3, but I could be persuaded otherwise. Folks who have it: is it worth the price of entry?

Timing is everything in life!! My subscription just ended last night, but I was too lazy to re-up my account and and go through the hassle of plugging in my card info. I love it when things go my way.

I can honestly say I have not played my xbox for over a year... every game I've wanted to play has been available for PC and I prefer to play on it whenever possible.

33% off is not severe.

It's not just Amazon. Gamestop's been doing that too for the last couple of weeks too. Maybe it's more of a Microsoft thing than an Amazon deal?

Meh, 10$ less than the original price. I sweet talked a sales rep into letting me pay the original 50$ instead of 60$ after the cutoff for the price change. I may jump on this though. 80$ for two years sounds like a sweet gig.

Hey, look, 33% off of something that shouldn't cost anything at all. I don't need to pay an additional subscription fee to use any of my other consoles online, why does XBox charge for it? I've got an internet provider and a Netflix account, and that's enough monthly fees for me to watch netflix on my PC, my phone, my Wii, and so on, but to allow it on the XBox I have to pay another subscription fee? They're not even providing anything. I bought the hardware, I'm paying for internet and for streaming, they just want a cut of their own for absolutely no value added on their part.

Screw that.

Wait, normally $60? In Australia (yeah, yeah I know) we pay $90 for one year. Not me of course, I only ever bought a subscription once, then realised the PSN was much better value.

 

[Screamarie]

Just went and bought one. It's great timing too, my subscription ended in March so YAY! I'm set for another year. ^_^

I was just about to say the same thing and then attach some proof:
The one year subscription is $40 but the 3 month subscription is still $25? =/
