Individually, these services would cost near $450 /annually but for the next few weeks, through the holiday season, until January 4th, the price is just $199 which is over half off. The biggest caveat being you can only buy the bundle as a gift card from physical Microsoft Store locations. Hopefully, the company will make this available on its online store, but so far, there is no indication that it will.

What are the Benefits of Microsoft Services?

Each of the services listed above also has their perks involved, for instance, the Office 365 subscription gives you the Office suite as well as unlimited OneDrive storage that is great for backing up photos from any device. And you can install Office on up to five computers or Macs and five mobile devices.
