Microsoft is celebrating Pi Day today (it’s 3/14/15, get it?) by offering a year-long subscription to its Xbox Music streaming service for $31.41. It’s a discount of more than $68 over the subscription’s usual price of $99 for a year of unlimited streaming music to users’ Xbox consoles, computers and mobile devices.
The service will give people unlimited access to streaming music from the Xbox Music catalog both on demand and through the service’s Pandora-esque radio feature.
Xbox Music has apps on iOS, Android, Windows 8, Windows Phone and the web, so people can get access to it on whatever their preferred device happens to be. Microsoft’s music streaming service isn’t often included in the same conversation as services like Spotify, Rdio and Beats Music, but it does offer similar functionality.
Giving a discount like this one could be enough to spur more people to the service who might otherwise be drawn to one of the more mainstream offerings.
People who want to celebrate Pi day but already have a preferred music streaming service can also buy special digital gift cards from the Microsoft Store that feature geeky designs in honor of today’s holiday. Users can purchase the cards either through Microsoft’s website or the Digital Gift Cards app for Windows and Windows Phone.
