(Also, OP, your post isn't mathing: 74.99 - 15 = 59.99, not 64.99, however, the price is listed correctly. MS just bumped the yearly cost from 74.99 -> 79.99 for Essentials/Core/Gold)
GamePass Ultimate is a *great* service, but it's priced about 15% too high for widespread adoption for casual gamers and families.

$20-$25 is an easy sell for what you get with GPU, but the psychological weight of a $29.99/month subscription is massive, especially when you're comparing it to things like Netflix and AppleTV are in the $15-$20 range.
AT MINIMUM they ought to offer regular bi-annual sales @ around $24.99/month to pull new subscribers and keep cost-conscious consumers locked into the subscriptions during new game droughts (which are happening more and more often) but it seems like the C-suite goons at MS just don't understand consumer psychology at all.

Again, it's all good since the post states it's $64.99, and that's what it is after coupon.
It does kinda suck though on MS' part as the previous "Core" was priced at $74.99/yr, and now the Essentials is priced at $79.99/yr, and from some quick Googling, it doesn't provide anything new/extra.
I'm still riding a 3yr deal from back when there was a promotion on Ultimate and conversion and I want to say something to do with Monster energy drinks or Doritos maybe? But, as @yeti79 said- there's no way I'd justify XBU @ $30/mo now. No way it's worth that.
