Is there any way to have multiple XBL accounts at one household with one subscription? My son uses XBL quite a bit. I would like to have my own gamertag for the times I play but it isn't worth paying for two subscriptions.

Nope... one subscription = one username.

I'm actually fairly surprised Microsoft hasn't offered some sort of premium service where you can purchase an additional Gamertag for the existing subscription for $5-$10/year per Gamertag, but when the subscription expires, both names go poof. That would seem like a family-friendly way to go, since there are a lot of people in your boat who wouldn't otherwise pay the extra money it'd cost to get an additional Gamertag, and would just share the existing one.

It'd be money.
