  1. cannot purchase free xbox 360 games on xbox one with xbox live gold subscription


    Hi all, I hope someone here will be able to help me out.

    I have an Xbox Live Gold subscription on my Xbox one and can download the bi-monthly free xbox one games without problems.

    However, I would like to also download some of the xbox 360 games but each time I try, I get presented with a screen asking me to enter a valid payment option.

    When I click on the link, I get directed to the payment page information of the xbox live website; however, all field are empty and the country is locked to united states.

    If I navigate and sign-in on xbox live by myself, all my information is there, including payment information

    I hope it is clear enough, if you need more info, I'd be glad to provide them.

    Thanks

    :)

  2. gold live trial - does not show on console

    Hello,

    Today I obtained one month gold trial via web-site.

    On microsoft account page in Services & Subscription I can see the Xbox Live subscription:

    Xbox Live - subscription Xbox Live Gold - renews on 1/11/2016

    But on my xbox one console, when I check account -> subscriptions -> I cannot see it - I just see "learn about Xbox live gold" and I can just purchase 1,6,12 months memberships.

    I also cannot get current Gold games for free.

    On console, I have only one account, and the console is set to home console, location is "Slovakia"

    Can't purchase/dopwnload free xbox 360 games with gold game

    I just recently purchased xbox live gold subscription this November using my CC and it works just fine. Actually I have an existing account that also have an xbox live gold subscription but because I can't download/complete the purchase of the free xbox
    360 games that comes with the gold every month I've decided to create another account. I have a US account before with an Asian unit, it doesn't have any problem with the free xbox one games but if the free xbox 360 games is not region free I can't download
    it so I switched my account to Asian. But still I can't download the free xbox 360 games that comes with it every month. So thats why I created a new account with an Asian Region and purchased an xbox live gold Asian. But the problem is still I can't download
    the FREE xbox 360 game. I already put a credit card details (which works perfectly fine during my purchase of the xbox live gold subscription) and also put up my paypal account. Still it doesn't allow me to download/purchase the game. The error says. "Sorry,
    you cannot complete the purchase right now. Please try again later." but its already been a week for this account. (almost 6 months for my primary account which already cost me 12 free games). I've tried to ask for a refund already but they said its not possible
    cause of the sales and subscription agreement something.

    I hope that this can be fixed. Or just FIX your ad, "Xbox live Gold Free Xbox One Only Games". Thanks...

    cannot purchase free xbox 360 games on xbox one with xbox live gold subscription

    Hi, I have exactly the same issue, only with 360 games. You cannot change the region when requested. Logging on to

    commerce.microsoft.com/.../Profile
    it shows a "US - Personal account" profile which you cannot remove. I am guessing the only way to resolve this is to contact MS and have them correct the issue, which is what I am doing now.

    Does anyone have a solution for this does not involve a lengthy support call?

    You must use the region migration tool because you have a split region problem

    Under my account and change my region on this website then enter your payment info

    Keep in mind your account region must reflect your actual regional

  6. Thanks NGOCPHI,

    It was not as simple as you described it to get to the regional settings but I got there and migrated whatever account was overseas and that works.

    Thanks

    Error Code 8015000A

    You will need to purchase an Xbox Live Gold subscription individually to use it on your Xbox 360.

    Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is not compatible with Xbox 360, so the Xbox Live Gold that comes with it cannot be used on Xbox 360.
  8. QuickMythril Win User

    why?

    when you purchase a free "Games With Gold" game on xbox 360, you get the license permanently, even if your xbox live gold subscription expires.

    on xbox one, you can also access all of your free purchased Games With Gold (they are all Backwards Compatible), however you need to have an active xbox live gold subscription to be able to play them.

    if you are currently not subscribed to a gold account, then all you would have to do is re-subscribe and you will have access to any of the Games With Gold games you have previously purchased.

    What is the Different between Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass

    Hi, to add to previous comments- Xbox Live Gold comes with a feature called “Games with Gold” that allows you to claim two Xbox One games and two Xbox 360 games each month. The Xbox One games through this program are free for you to play while your Gold
    subscription remains active; the Xbox 360 games are yours to keep for free forever even if your subscription expires. Games with Gold can be obtained with a subscription to Xbox Live Gold, but can’t be obtained with a prepaid code trial membership for 2-14
    days.

    Lego Star Wars TCS

    Hi.

    I have a similar problem.

    I have activated Xbox Live Gold and could download Xbox One Lara Croft with GWG for free but, for some reason, I cannot download Xbox 360 Star Wars Lego: TCS for free.

    When I click to download it in the Marketplace it shows that it's going to be charged.

    Do you know why is that?

    My Xbox Live Gold subscription region is Brazil.
    Solved...

    Guess just needed to wait a little while to Xbox Live Gold subscription to be processed by Xbox 360 Marketplace.
