| I personally am going to buy some codes and try and extend mine as long as possible. - Code:
-
The Gold Family Pack has divorced from Xbox Live. Following a couple of tips indicating the pack had disappeared earlier this month, we reached out to Microsoft who confirmed the offer was removed from its service.
"The Family Gold offer is no longer available for purchase," a Microsoft representative told us. "The Family Center experience with settings management, allowance granting, child activity reports and family subscriptions management are still available for current Family Gold members at this time."
As for why the pack was discontinued, the rep said, "We continually evaluate our business focus and work to offer services that make the most sense for our customers and Xbox."
Microsoft introduced the Family Pack to Xbox Live back in November 2010, offering up a discounted $99.99 bundle of four year-long Gold memberships, along with Family Center functionality allowing users to manage family members' content and purchasing access.

| I'm not sure this will affect me since there are really only 2 of us in my family that need a gold account, and I'm thinking it will wash.
But for those of you with more than 1 kid, or kids and a wife that plays...This Blows! | |

| Mine expires in August, XBox hasn't sent me any type of notification that it will not be available for renewal. Nice to see that they are keeping their customers informed.
Thanks for the post Missiler, at least I have some time to find a deal on individual Gold memberships. | |

| How can this be anything but another cash grab. So now we're looking at at least 3 individual purchased gold accounts and having to create a new profile every time my nephews and nieces come over so they don't screw up our stats, awesome. Screw you Microsoft, Screw you very much. | |

| Remember all move's made by corporations are motivated by,and to, profit the company and in turn the share holders.
That's their bottom line! | |

| Maybe it has something to do with the new console and features coming later this year. | |
