The recently revealed Xbox LIVE Family Pack has been confirmed for release in Europe, along with the announcement of an official recommended retail price (RRP). Allowing Xbox 360 gamers to bring their family to the online party with four Xbox LIVE Gold Subscriptions included in the package, the Xbox LIVE Family Pack is undoubtedly targeted at those interested in purchasing Microsoft’s forthcoming Kinect full-body motion control system.
Revealed yesterday, the Xbox LIVE Family Pack allows for up to four users to upgrade their Xbox LIVE account to a Gold Membership a well as offering access to the forthcoming Family Centre, a unique dashboard hub through which gamers can tweak the content controls on the console, allowing only specific GamerTags to access age-restricted content. Further to this, the Family Centre will allow for all purchases and billing to be authorised by the primary Xbox LIVE account only, and for the owner of this account to distribute Microsoft Points to other accounts as is deemed necessary.
The Xbox LIVE Family Pack is expected to arrive later this year, most likely alongside the forthcoming Kinect device. The Family Centre is most likely to arrive with the Xbox 360’s ‘fall update’, which typically arrives in November. The Xbox LIVE Family Pack will be available with an RRP of £69.99 about 80 euro
