With Kinect, Microsoft is trying to get the whole family playing games. Now it hopes to get the whole family paying for Xbox Live as well, through a discounted "Family" offer. The Xbox Live Gold Family plan, available this November, offers a year of Xbox Live Gold membership to four different family members for a total cost of $99.99, half the normal cost of four individual memberships.
It also includes new features, including a "Family Center" menu for managing the family account and content restriction settings, activity reports on Xbox.com, the ability for the "primary account member" to buy and distribute points to other members, and "exclusive family content and discounts."
