This deal is currently available on both Newegg and Walmart, with one key difference between the two. The Newegg deal is actually discounting the price of a 3 month Xbox Live Gold subscription from $24.99 to $20.99, making it the cheaper of the two options. If consumers buy two 3 month Xbox Live Gold subscriptions through this deal, they will get a whopping six additional months free, meaning they can get a full year of Xbox Live for just $42.
This is even better than the PlayStation Plus deal that’s currently going on, that lets users purchase a 1-year subscription for $45. However, both deals are great for consumers and should help people keep their PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold memberships going for much cheaper than usual. It’s worth mentioning that even those who aren’t subscribed to Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus can take advantage of these offers, as the subscriptions stack.
As previously mentioned, one of the biggest benefits to being an Xbox Live Gold subscriber is the free Games with Gold that are released every month. March 2019’s free Games with Gold include Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance from Platinum Games, and even an original Xbox game in the form of Star Wars: Republic Commando. As long as Xbox Live Gold subscribers download and play the free games, the subscription really ends up paying for itself.
It’s unclear how long these Xbox Live Gold deals will last, so those interested should be sure to pick up their subscriptions ASAP.
