Microsoft has quietly stopped the deal that offered an Xbox 360 console for $99 when it was purchased with a two-year Xbox Live subscription.
Originally unveiled two years ago, the bundle enabled you to pick up a new Xbox 360 replete with Kinect, providing you tied yourself into an Xbox Live Gold membership for two years at $14.99 a month. In October 2012 the program was expanded to offer a greater variety of models.
Though there was speculation the deal would be rolled out outside of North America, this never came to pass. According to the Wall Street Journal, the bundle actually disappeared from sale last year.
"This program was intended to be a pilot experiment from the start, and Microsoft routinely adjusts the mix of offers available to its customers and this change was simply standard business practice," said Microsoft spokesperson David Dennis.
A similar offer was said to be considered for Xbox One, though ultimately never came to pass.
