Microsoft to offer a year of Xbox Live free to Office 365 subscribers

4.4
Microsoft has announced today that it is offering a free year of Xbox Live to Microsoft Office 365 subscribers.


The promotion is available to subscribers who purchase a one year subscription to Office 365 Home Premium, or a four year subscription to Office 365 University.

The offer is valid from today until September 28, and is available to most of Europe, Asia and Australia. Microsoft's website lists the territories where the promotion is available.

To redeem the free year of Xbox Live, users must activate their subscriptions to receive a code, which can be claimed on the Xbox website, or on the console itself. The code must be used before October 31.

According to an updated article on The Verge, the offer is now open to US residents, however Microsoft's site still does not list them as an eligible country.

-Wub How much is Office 365?


I just looked it up, it's 80 GBP!! Why the hell would we want to pay that amount of money to get a "free" year of Live when I can just buy a year of Live for half that price. I'm honestly done with Microsoft.

I totally agree

Everyone here needs to realize that this is just an extra benefit for people who own, or are buying this. This isn't JUST for the gold. It's a pretty good deal if you needed this for school or something.

I've got a feeling someone is going to find a glitch for this lol.

Seems to be a fair deal with Microsoft though.

It's a year subscription of Microsoft Office Products rather than purchasing a lifetime license for a particular version, I got it free with my computer
