Microsoft‘s Skype app may be largely free, with the only cost coming from plans for outgoing calls to landlines or mobile phones, but most of the Redmond company’s other services aren’t as flexibly free.
However, Microsoft is now offering a new bundle called “Work and Play” that includes all of its most popular subscription based services — which include Xbox LIVE, Xbox Music, Office 365 (with 1TB of storage), and of course unlimited Skype calls — for $199. In essence, this bundle brings four separate subscriptions into one, but they’re still separate.
The bundle can only be obtained via Microsoft retail stores in the U.S.
Microsoft will give you four different codes which you can redeem at each services’ website. Each code lasts for 1 year.
There are a few minor catches, though. Currently, the bundle can only be obtained through retail Microsoft Stores across the United States. The Work and Play bundle is also only available for a limited time, beginning today, November 10th, and running through January 5th, 2015 or “while supplies last” so be sure to get your bundle while you can.
