SOFTWARE FLOGGER Microsoft is granting punters who invest in its Home and Student Microsoft Office 365 packages a year of free Xbox Live Gold gaming.
"Make school enjoyable all year round," says the firm, perhaps with a loose grasp on what people do at school.
"If you have purchased an Office 365 Home Premium annual subscription or Office 365 University, just follow the three simple steps below to start enjoying 12 months of Xbox Live Gold."
The rules are simple. All you have to do is use your activation code for Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium annual or Microsoft Office 365 University between now and the end of September to get an Xbox Live Gold code.
Get your Xbox Live Gold code and head for your Xbox or the Xbox website. Once there use your code and your Microsoft email credentials to get the connection.
It's probably not a bad deal, particularly if you want to use Microsoft's subscription based productivity software and you like gaming.
A year of Microsoft Office 365 costs just under ?80, and a year of Xbox Live Gold is priced at around ?30. At present and through the summer Microsoft is giving Xbox Live subscribers a series of free games. Assassin's Creed 2 is available at the moment, which if you have missed it is worth a punt.
If you don't like the idea of spending ?80 a year on email, word processing, spreadsheets, storage and slides, then consider tricking yourself into thinking that you are paying that amount for the gaming. If that works for you, you can just pretend that all the cloud software is free.
In March Microsoft was offering a free three month trial to wavering cloud students. ?
