Microsoft to discontinue the Gold Family Pack
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."

Emazing-LightsMazurI'm sure lots of people are still going to get the new Xbox like myself.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 won't be getting it, but still, this sucks for users who used the family pack.
