Xbox Live Gold Family Pack No Longer Available

Posted an hour ago.

Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox Live Gold Family Pack is no longer available for purchase, after several people noted its disappearance earlier this month.

“The Family Gold offer is no longer available for purchase,” a company representative told Joystiq. “The Family Center experience with settings management, allowance granting, child activity reports and family subscriptions management are still available for current Family Gold members at this time.”

Asked about the reasoning behind this decision, he replied: “We continually evaluate our business focus and work to offer services that make the most sense for our customers and Xbox.”

The Family pack was originally introduced in November 2010 and was a $99 bundle that included four year long Gold memberships for four family members, along with functions to monitor and control each family member’s content purchasing and viewing settings via the Family center.

The Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack gives you four 12-month Gold memberships for less than the price of two. You can easily convert an existing Xbox LIVE Gold membership, or you can sign up for a new Xbox LIVE account and Gold Family Pack membership.

Note You will get a discount on your Gold Family Pack membership if you have time remaining on your existing Gold membership.

With the Gold Family Pack, you can:

Give family members an allowance of Microsoft Points to redeem for films, games and more.
Manage your family memberships, activities and Family Settings from the Family Centre.
Sign in to Xbox.com and view your family’s activity on Xbox LIVE.Click to expand...

If you're using the Xbox One, you can share gold via the Home setting. My Home Xbox Setting on Xbox One | Share Your Xbox One

Otherwise you would need to purchase gold for each account that wants it.

I keep running into issues with being blocked as the second Adult in our Gold Family. My spouse is the primary.

What happens is that when updates appear for the Xbox I am blocked from accepting them by using my own credentials. I am an adult in my profile, but in the Gold Family I am not the primary.

This trickles out beyond the Xbox, it impacts me purchasing apps for my phone, or doing things with Xbox online until my spouse logs in and either updates the Xbox or accepts the updated privacy policy.

I can go into the Gold Family pack and promote myself as it appears that it is here that I am a 'child' - however it states that it will remove me form the Gold Family Pack, not from my Family.

In the support articles that I have found it appears that I need to "Leave Family" in my account settings. I don't have a family, only a Gold Family. And we use the Gold Family pack to manage the one family subscription for all of us.

Where is the disconnect here?

The Family appears to be applying restrictions to me, but I am an adult. And in spite of the wording in the support article it appears that me promoting myself to an adult will drop me form the Gold Family Membership, not just remove the Parental Control.

The support article explicitly states to leave the family, not the Gold Family Pack. And I don't have a family to leave, just the Gold Family Pack.

You can only have one primary adult account on the gold family subscription. This is the only account that can purchase points. However, this account can also give the points to other sub-accounts.

Q: Everyone in my family is already an Xbox LIVE Gold member. Is there a limit to how long my Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack subscription can be?

A: An Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack subscription cannot exceed 36 months. If your family members have more than 72 months of Xbox LIVE Gold membership remaining combined when they are added to the Xbox LIVE Gold family pack, any remaining time on their subscriptions
in excess of the 72 months will be cancelled and you will not receive a refund for any time beyond 72 months.

Yes, it's possible:

Q: Can I add existing Xbox LIVE Gold members to my Family Pack? For example, my kids are already Xbox LIVE Gold members.

A: Yes. When an existing Xbox LIVE Gold member is added to a Family Pack, the remaining time on their Gold membership benefits the whole family! For every two months remaining on their current Gold membership, the entire family receives an extra month of
Xbox LIVE Gold. For example, if your child has six months remaining on their existing Xbox LIVE Gold membership, when you add him/her to your Family Pack, all four of the individual Xbox LIVE Gold accounts available in your Family Pack will be extended by
an additional three months. If you have two children who have four and six months of Gold remaining, respectively, on their existing Xbox LIVE Gold subscriptions, all four of the individual Xbox LIVE Gold accounts available in your Family Pack will be extended
by an additional five months.

Q: I have multiple consoles in my family. Does my Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack have to reside only one of those consoles?

A: When an individual is added to an Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, that person’s Xbox LIVE account must be on the same console as the primary account holder. However, once they are a part of your Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, that person could recover their
account on a different console and still remain a part of the Family Pack, as long as they reside in the same country as the primary account holder.
