To the uninitiated, some Xbox One users cash out $40 to $60 yearly for their "Xbox Live Gold" membership. Casual offline gamers might not find the need to avail of it, but the program is a must for multiplayer gamers.

Aside from offering advanced multiplayer features, the exclusive program lets members access free mini-games and avail up to 50 to 70 percent discounts on full games and game add-ons. Wide-ranging gamers should note that they would actually save more on their game purchases in the long run by subscribing to the program.

Of course, that remains to be on a case-to-case basis. What is for certain though is today is a good day to be an "Xbox Live Gold" member.

Microsoft recently announced this week's Xbox One "Deals with Gold" lineup. It includes popular Sandbox games and an assembly of cool add-ons. They might not come at the proverbial low price, but they are considerably discounted nonetheless.
