Zyphr Well considering the next gen xbox is coming out, who cares?


not everybody will be getting the new xbox? and this was a great deal for the people that bought it.
I'm sure lots of people are still going to get the new Xbox like myself.


I won't be getting it, but still, this sucks for users who used the family pack.

Zayzoz It funny because my mom bought this and she loves it. Now its back to full price.
I only used this because my friends and I would only pay $25 for one year of gold membership.
