Microsoft is hoping to boost the number of people paying for Office 365, its subscription-based cloud productivity suite, by bundling in a 12 month Xbox Live Gold subscription for free.
Anyone that buys and activates an Office 365 Home Premium or Office 365 University annual subscription, or the physical boxed product for either package, before September 28 will be eligible for the offer.

The offer is available starting today in the following 39 countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States.
