It's why I would like wired controllers and you can connect the ds4 by USB but it still uses a wireless connection. Anyone have conclusive proof that it isn't the same on the xb1?

I'd rather the option was given like it is on pc to go wired or wireless.

It's my understanding that me and someone else can set each other's Xbox as our Home one to enable us both to play any games that we buy. Is this correct? What happens when one of my children signs in on my Xbox, do they have access to both sets of games or only 1?

If you move your Home Xbox to a different one, the other person will be able to play all your games. On your console, only you can play your games and you will need to be connected to Xbox Live to do so. But anyone can play the other person's games.

So your children can play the other person's games but not yours unless they sign in as you.

Hmm that's what I thought, makes it a no go then unfortunately. Thanks.

Here's my example:

I share my account with my little Bro.

I signed into his Xbox, I set it as Home. (He set his account on mine as Home)

I buy a digital game, his Xbox automatically downloads it as it's the Home. He gets to play it without my account signing in. (Vice Versa if he buys)

When my missus wants to play games I own, I need to be signed in. She gets to play any game my brother owns. Hope this helps clarify it?

Basically, in your case, your "Someone else" should be the person buying the games, and he needs to set your Xbox as his home, so your kids can sign in whatever account to play it, whilst this "someone else" must always sign in to play games he bought.

Ah so only 1 person can buy the games, I didn't know that bit. Makes it even less likely to happen then.

Fr0dders · 15 Sep 2015 at 12:46

the solution here is to do what I do with my lad.

You log in on his console, and set his console as your home one.

Then I got my lad to sign in on mine, and set my console as his home xbox.

There are effectively 2 licenses, one for your home xbox, and another for your account when signing in on somebody else's machine. This way you can share a digital game / DLC between two machines.

Either person can buy a game and it will work for both consoles.

Unless he wants his kids to log in too, then only the user that set the Xbox as Home should buy, so it's shared even if Cliffy don't sign in.

does anyone know if, when connected to a Windows 10 PC, it delivers charge via Micro USB into the batteries of the xbox one controller?

Can android tablets steam xbox or is it only windows

I buy the games and I go round his house to play poker anyway once a month.

I then collect whatever he owes me for the games we bought together.

It's a pretty simple concept and should work for most people. If you really trust each other then either of you could buy games by sharing the "main" account login details.

It should charge it yes...at least I would think...considering all you're doing is playing as you chargeon the XO USB as well.

Win10 only with the new Xbox app.

So a linx 10 would be ideal

melmac · 15 Sep 2015 at 19:59

Is there anyway to download xbox 360 games on my xbox one with games for gold? So that I can play them when the xbox one is backward compatible?

was just looking at picking one of these up. Looks ideal for streaming and can actually play a few games itself. Just debating whether or not to go with refurb or not.

Explosivo · 15 Sep 2015 at 20:56

Just upgraded my Toshiba encore 2 to windows 10 so gony link that to my bedroom tv via hdmi and stream to that

Assuming it has half decent Wifi in it and your network runs okay..then yea I cant see a reason, the xbox is still doing all the graphic work.
