*** The Official Xbox One Thread ***

Hi got two xbox s in the house one in the living area (A) one in the cinema room (B)

we have set them to share games by making (A) my account and (b) the lads account

when i sign into live i can sign in on both consoles no problem . But my lad can only use his gamer tag on (A) if he tries to use his account on (b) it tells him he needs to buy a live account

is there a way around this

cheers


Game share only covers games, not xbox live. you'll need to buy another yearly sub on the account that doesn't have it.
 
set one xbox as home xbox with one account then vice versa on the other and it will share games and live.

Am I right in thinking I can set one Xbox as a home Xbox which will enable all users on that console to have live, and let me use my own account on my other xbox?
 
So, it’s been months since I’ve used my Xbone. Today I was playing Viva Pinata (360 BC game) fine and dandy. Hit Xbox button and went and had a look on YouTube for something and then went to Edge for something else.

When I went back to select Viva Piñata from the games list, it ran through the Xbox 360 startup animation again and loaded the game afresh. Does the Xbone not suspend games so you can instantly resume them or did I do something wrong like opening more than one app?

He will only be able to play live on one xbox. (whichever the gold member has set as their home xbox)

Yes
 
Xbox replacement arrived, it’s a refurb, service date lane of 13th Jan 2018 as opposed to manufacture date on my original console.

Looks in top condition though.
 
More games added to back compat but they're just ordinary affairs without the X enhancements.

Sniper Elite V2, Driver San Francisco and Far Cry 2
 
@Soulja how did you arrange collection of your unit to go back? Just through the UPS site? There’s no info the box on what to do other than a pre printed shipping label to Germania.

I stuck the label on the box and dropped it off at my local ups drop off point. It's tracked that ups have collected it.
 
Question about console sharing.

I share with my friend as we play the same games and it’s worked great for ages. He’s since bought another Xbox to be used with his profile we are linked on, he can see our shared games on the original console we set of his as my home but when he signs into his new Xbox it doesn’t work (even though he’s transferred all the games over). My understanding is my home is tied to his actual console rather than the gamertag, is this correct? Can anything be done so it would work on both his consoles (both on the same single profile??).
