How does a TechCrunch advertorial get on the front page of Hacker News? I remember when TC was a website with reporters crawling through basements and garages all over the world to find exciting startups and tech news. It saddens me to see they have come to this.
I've started canceling all of this stuff recently because it's too expensive and seeing this $200 bundle makes me glad I did. That is a lot of money for essentially no value.
Just for perspective.
P.S.: Cost could be lower if there're yearly packages in Music and Skype, but i didn't find them.
Office 365 Home - $99.99/year
Skype Unlimited - $167.88/year ($13.99/month)
Xbox Music - $119.88/year ($9.99/month)
Xbox Live Gold - $79.95/year
------------------------------
$467.70/year

This is an underwhelming product in general.
At a $200 price point, it's even harder to understand.

This is about as blatant an advertisement as I have ever seen.
