Celebrate Pi Day 2015 with Microsoft -- Huge savings on Xbox Music Pass!
Tomorrow is March 14th; you know what that is right? Pi Day! If you aren't a mathematician or math nerd, Wikipedia describes pi as a "circle's circumference to its diameter". The true value of Pi is indeterminable, as the sequence goes on forever, but it is typically shortened to just 3.14. And so, from that, only the USA celebrates this as Pi Day, since that country displays dates as MM.DD. Most other countries use DD.MM. This year is particularly significant, however, as it is the only time the year and time will be represented too -- 3.141592653 can be seen as 3/14/15 9:26:53 AM.
Unfortunately, while Pi Day is a real thing, how to celebrate it is a bit murky. For the most part, geeks on social media share that Pi Day has arrived as a way to show their geekiness, but beyond that, there are no decorations or traditions in the mainstream. Luckily, Microsoft actually has some cool stuff planned; will you celebrate with the company?
Microsoft's Windows Team shares the following offers.
1. New Digital Gift Cards with the Pi Day theme. Giving something special is a great feeling. When it’s a Digital Gift Card that can be redeemed for top apps, games and music, you’re giving the gift of choice! Download the Digital Gift Cards app for free for Windows and Windows Phone.
2. Purchase an Xbox Music Pass for $31.41. Tomorrow only you can purchase a 12 month Xbox Music Pass for $31.41 (regularly $99). An Xbox Music subscription gives you access to millions of songs to play on your Xbox, the Web, or your Windows PC, Tablet and Phone. You can purchase this limited time offer tomorrow only (3/14/15) from the Microsoft Store. This offer is good for new subscriptions and renewals of existing subscriptions.
3. Train your brain with Einstein Brain Trainer HD for Windows and Windows Phone. Did you know that March 14 is also Albert Einstein’s birthday? Now you can train like a true math-lete with Einstein Brain Trainer HD which offers 30 exercises for brain activation. This is a brand new app for Windows Phone and is already available in the Windows Store. Now for a limited time you can purchase these apps at 50 percent off!
While the Pi Day themed gift-cards and discounted education games are appreciated, I doubt you care about that. The real meat of this Pi Day offering is the Xbox Music Pass at $31.41. The normal price is $99, so you are getting it for less than a third of the normal price. In other words, you can have unlimited music streaming for the next year for about $2.61 a month -- insanity!
Please know that Xbox Music Pass works on iOS, Android, Windows, Xbox, the web and even Windows Phone, so it is quite the amazing value. Even if you already have a favorite service like Spotify, Beats or Google Play Music All Access, at this price, it may be worth the switch. The deal is tomorrow only, so do not miss it!
