3 Month Game Pass for $1 - Questionable Business Practice

PSXbox Unite · Nov 18, 2019

So last week I got an email from the Microsoft store with some "early holiday deals" and one of those deals was to get 1 month of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $1. Seemed like a good deal so earlier this week I signed up. A couple days later they announce
that you can get 3 months for $1. I've been trying to chat with representatives to see if I could get the new deal, but no luck. One even recommended I set up a new Xbox account to get the deal, which I've had my current account, with gold, for a few years
now.

It just seems a bit questionable to send out promotional material a week before a better deal comes along. Anyone else fall for their trap? Makes me hesitant to take advantage of any "deals" that they offer.

Can be frustrating, but one month for £1 is still a good deal.

I don't see anything questionable about it. Deals / discounts will inevitably come and go. For example, I signed up to Game Pass Ultimate around e3 this year, which was also $1. It also converted my existing Live to GPU, so now I have it until 2022.

It'd also be like buying a game shortly before it was put on sale with the Deals with Gold or it became available through the Games with Gold program. It's unfortunate, but it happens.

Sometimes that's just how it is remember most deals and sales come about on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis so as gamers it's up to us to take the deals we get or hope that we live to see another day where we'll be able to get better deals.

Deals and offers change all the time and that’s for the most part great for all different types of gamers
