GGGplaya, how does that "suck" for your xbox now?
You get 3 months free AND you don't have to pay for the more expensive family plan! You get 3 months free... And you now only need to buy one account! Just think, instead of $99 a year, you pay $60 (or less if you buy from a store, I've seen them as cheap as $35).
I just don't see how there is any situation where you are coming out behind if you own a single Xbox.
Skippy, I see you may have a point, if someone owns more than one xbox (wow I'm a bit jealous, multiple xboxes?) They may have a gripe that it is different, but surely if you can afford having multiple consoles in each kids room, you may have a bit more cash to solve this issue. PS4 wouldn't be cheaper in this situation, so there really isn't a difference between the 2.
