Microsoft just introduced a whole new subscription service that will get you 100% rolling in terms of picking up and playing Xbox One. Called the "Xbox All Access" deal, the bundle package gets you a new Xbox One, two years of Xbox Live Gold and the Xbox Game Pass, for a single monthly fee. But is this service worth it? That depends.
For me, I look for deals all the time. I am a consummate deal hunter, and I never really pay full price for anything if I can keep from it, and that goes for televisions, consoles, subscriptions to live services, you name it. If you're the type of person who has some extra dough lying around, or don't have the time to bargain hunt, or if you're one of those people who buy a big screen TV from a rental place and pay every month, then this deal is probably for you.
According to the official site, you can go one of two ways; in the end, you'll either be paying around $530 for an Xbox One S (at $22 per month) and you'll save over $100 total, or about $845 for an Xbox One X starting (at $35 per month) and you'll save about $20 total. Regardless of what you get, both packages include 24 months of Xbox Gold and the Game Pass, and each payment plan lasts for 24 months with no upfront cost and 0% APR. This is a pretty good deal if you don't have enough money to pay the cost of the console up front, but then again, why are you spending 600 bucks on a console that you don't have the money for? Doesn't make a ton of sense, does it?
Sure doesn't. Start a jar and keep your change in it. Get a second job, or a hobby that will make you a few bucks on the side. Wouldn't that be smart? Wouldn't you feel better knowing you are in the clear, vs having another red lettered bill showing up three months from now?
