Up until about 6 months ago, I didn't realise that if you have 1 Xbox with 3 accounts on it you potentially had to pay for Live 3 times. That to me was a joke, I couldn't understand it, to me that seems like extortion. Family Pack presume is the way around that.
The article on the front of this website states that one of the added features of new Live Gold was game sharing across the same console. This is the first time I even knew that there was any type of restriction (was there?) and if one person paying for gold bought a game from the store, then other people on the same bloody console couldn't play it? That's can't be right can it?
But then I heard the best bit of news after the Xbone reveal, the idea that an Xbox Live Gold account could be paid for once and all accounts on the machine could be used with their own names to log into and play games and online. An excellent feature, one I thought was standard anyway until not long ago. Much like AOL back in the day, you have 1 payee account and up to 5 emails from that 1 payee.
My only concern now is if this new 'parent' to 'child' account feature is being updated to the 360? This would sort the issue here.
Hmm, pie.
