Few good ones on Game pass that I loved, especially brothers two sons, brilliant!!, not AAA games but well worth a play.

I tend to go into 'My games and apps' from the Xbox button, then go to memberships. The GWG will be listed in there.

Does anyone have an experience with game sharing on Xbox One?

I've just bought my 2 lads an Xbox One S each for their birthdays, mainly so they leave mine alone and I can get a look in.

I have an Xbox One X with Gold and Game Pass. Is it possible to share these services with 2 additional Xbox's or only 1 additional?

I got an X today and noticed the slow menus. Turning off the transparent overlays did the trick so while not perfect, it's much better.

Not sure if the services are sharable across devices but games are 1 additional console.

Your home Xbox and an Xbox you are signed in.

Only 1 additional and sharing services (And im not even sure game pass is shareable.. EA access isnt ).

Depending on games and interests of the kids it could be worth just have them share the games and keep yours to yourself, you would need to buy 2 copies of the game either way if you and the kids wanted all the same game.
if the kids share at least you don't need to buy 2 copies of super luckys tale.

Ah ok thanks. I was going a much longer route than that!

That's not correct as I family share with my son's Xbox One S and both of us have access to my EA access subscription.

Very good point, thank you.

Currently they're obsessed with Fortnite which is currently free but makes sense for future games, no doubt it'll be whatever their friends are playing and they'll both want a copy.

What do you think about crash bandicoot?

I'm looking to get an XBox One X.

Is there any good deals on at the moment? So far Game is 449 and Amazon seems to be 424 for just the console.

Both of those prices don't have much with it.

Check Currys - I was OK with this deal for £519.99:
MICROSOFT - Xbox One X & Games Bundle containing
MICROSOFT - Xbox One X
XBOX ONE - Fallout 4 - for Xbox One
MICROSOFT - Xbox One Doom
MICROSOFT - Forza Motorsport 7
MICROSOFT - PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
MICROSOFT - Assassin's Creed Origins

Just had an interesting chat with Microsoft over the warranty period of my console. I got it yesterday and when checking the warranty period, I noticed it was 3 months short.

I asked them why and they didn't seem to know as it's the first time it's ever happened according to them.

I had to send my proof of purchase via reply email to which they claim wasn't getting through and now have to wait up to 72 hours to see what happens next.

It's put a stinker on my purchase but I don't intend of returning it as the console is better than I expected.

It's a good thing that I have a store 3 year warranty as I don't want to deal with Microsoft at all. Just hope it doesn't clap out during the 3 month gap.

Avoid Currys. Search for Xbox one x and Far cry on amazon to see the bundle with an extra controller.

Zavvi are best for price sold out now but was only £399.99 a few weeks ago with free next day delivery under 14 hours from ordering! Now their cheapest deal with £429.99 with 1 free game & speedy free delivery.

I bought the xbox one x today.. looks good and just setting it up.

Only problem I'm having is adding my paypal account. As anyone else had problems with this? It keeps saying your bank couldnt authorise this payment method. Never had a problem with paypal before. Is there some reason its blocking me adding it?

UPDATE:

I figured out a way. Sign in through the xbox website and add it through the browser. Then when you go back on the xbox its there.
