Xbox One gets 6-months free Skype group video calls, 100 free worldwide minutes per month
Microsoft has revealed that Xbox Live Gold subscribers who buy Xbox One will get six moths free Skype group video calls and free worldwide minutes each of those months.

Skype's video calling is obviously a free service, but it charges a fee of $4.99 per month to be able to use group video calling. For Xbox One owners with an Xbox Live Gold membership, group calling will be free for six months.



Additionally, Redmond is giving 100 worldwide minutes free each month for six months, which will allow Xbox One owners to call mobiles and landline phones in over 50 countries.

Microsoft offers a similar deal to those who buy a Surface 2 tablet.

    Oh yeah this is a lame desperate attempt at keeping the ideas of Skype and Xbox One's new 'sharing' capabilities relevant.

    Not gonna make a difference cause no one will even remotely consider this. Less than 1/1000th of a percent of their sales will use this. Not worth forking over those royalties.
