    3 xbox ones - 5 in the family - how many gold and copies of games do I need?


    So I just bought a 3rd xbox one for the house. I have 4 kids plus me who play xbox. How many gold live accounts do I need and how many copies of a game do I need? I probably know the answer which is not going to be good but I wanted to see what everyone
    else is doing. I really wish MS would bring back Gold Family pack.

    :)

    Single Console, Family Gold account and shared games?

    In my Family my kids are on my Family gold account and will share thier games. With three kids skylanders is pricy enough already but if I need to buy 3 copies?? As its one Xbox that we all share would I still need a fee for each account under my family
    gold? Otherwise if I need to buy 3-4 copies of a game I can see me either buying a LOt less games or swtching to the PS4.



    Anyone have any references on this yet? Single Console, one family account and shared game?

    Depending on how many people use each console, you need at least 2 sub's and 2 of each game. 1 account with the gold sub and games would make 1 console their Home and then everyone can use the gold and games on that console. The 2nd gold account would do
    the same on a 2nd console. Both of the gold accounts could still use everything on the 3rd console since e gold and games would still be tied to their accounts. If the other remaining accounts had to use the 3rd console, you'd need 3 of everything.

    Let's clear up this whole "your friends have to pay a fee if you let them borrow their game" concept.
