Do you get OneDrive storage and free Skype usage with SP3?

[Sjurdur]

One of the things that really tempted me to buy the Surface Pro 2 (I never did buy it though), were the extras that Microsoft gave you, like 200 free GBs of OneDrive storage for 2 years and free Skype calling for one year.

Does anyone know if you get these things too with the Surface Pro 3?

Either there is no mention on the preorder page about it or I can't find it.

No mention, but you get free storage and Skype time with your Office 365 subscription so this is not a draw for me, i.e., I'm sitting at 150GB of OneDrive storage at the moment thanks in part to bing rewards.

As far as i know, Bing rewards isn't available outside the US. And as of now, i don't have office 365, as I don't really need it at the moment.

But thanks for your answers.

My guess is that it will not be included. I am basing this on the fact that the Surface Pro 2 did not include the extras - while the Surface 2 did. I think you should ask this question on the AMA tomorrow with Panos.

I'm pretty sure the Surface Pro 2 did.

I got double lucky as I won my Surface 2 free and clear AND got the free 200GB OneDrive storage for two years and free Skype calling for a year.

I stand corrected. I seem to remember it was the non pro originally. I wonder if it will come on the 3 (hoping so).

Me buying the SP3 solely depends on it coming with 200Gigs OneDrive cloud storage and 1 or 2 years Free calls from Skype. Microsoft spoilt me when I bought my surface 2. I really love the SP3. Even with a free keyboard I would prefer OneDrive and Skype incentives if I'm to part with my hard earned money. I have on year left on my 200 gigs but my Skype ends in December. Microsoft I wanna give you my money, but make the pot sweeter.
