Couple Questions About sharing and my setup I have...

Hello All!

My girlfriend and I have 2 xbox ones... I have my account on both xboxs and on her xbox its set to home xbox so she doesnt pay for xbox live...

Now when I buy Games and DLC if i read around correctly I have to do it on her xbox under my profile and then I can access it on mine after and she can play them as well... So I only have to buy games once and DLC for games once.

is this correct?

:)

Question about DLC and sharing?

Sorry about that. I made that mistake once myself.

Question about DLC and sharing?

I know what you are saying but the license transfer had to have been done first. If you want all the DLC accessed by all people on that console you are going to have to redownload that DLC.

Hi Ayy Petey,

You can buy your content anywhere (store.xbox.com, your Xbox, her Xbox). Just make sure you're the one logged when when you purchase the content. The content you purchase will then be tied to your profile which you can play on any Xbox that you're
logged in to. Additionally, your content will be shared to all profiles on your Home Xbox.

Hope this helps!

Perfect Answer! Thank you!

Another Question, now we started with one xbox, when we bought the second i transferred her profile over not realizing it wouldnt be free for her we bought a 3 month, i then put my profile on that xbox and when the 3 month runs out she should have no issue
playing will that work out for us or did i mess it up?

If she's logged into your "Home" Xbox, then she shouldn't need an Xbox Live subscription to play online, or access other gold features.

That's your issue to deal with, I'm sure there are ways to report users through Ebay though.

One thing I will suggest if you are lookign to buy a new xbox or used, do not buy it at all from ebay, as most not all but most are stolen, or issues awaiting to cause drama for ya. Stick to gamestop, maybe amazon, and other sites you know are legit, because
if you buy on amazon and the person sells you a product that is banned, stolen and so on, amazon can refund your money as well ope a case up as well on that seller.

I would stay away from buying that from ebay to save you from drama.
