Microsoft Work and Play BundleSame bundle, better price




Microsoft has brought back its "Work & Play" subscription services bundle, a collection of cloud-based offerings at a discounted price. Last time around, Microsoft wanted $199/year for the bundle, which came with Office 365 Home, Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Music Pass, and Skype Unlimited World + Wi-Fi, plus associated bits like 1TB of OneDrive online storage. This time around, the bundle is the same, only cheaper at $149 for a year.




Ironically, the first time Microsoft offered its bundle of online services, you had to hop offline and march your tuckus into a physical store to take advantage of the deal. Now on its second go-round, the Work & Play bundle is now more appropriately available to purchase online, and only online.




It's not a bad deal as far as pricing goes. If you were to subscribe to these services separately at full price, you'd end up paying $250 more than by ponying up for the bundle. Of course, you can save a bit on individual services by taking advantage of sale prices that come and go, but even so, the final tally would end up being higher for the whole collection.




The deal is available to both new and current subscribers. If you already subscribe to one of the services, Microsoft will extend the subscription by one year when you buy the bundle and activate the code.




This is a limited time offer, though Microsoft didn't say for how long. If you're interested, you can purchase the subscription here.
