    XBox memberships

    Hi all,

    Question.

    Child 1 has a new xbox 1 for xmas.

    Child 2 has a new xbox 360 for xmas.

    Both have Microsoft accounts.

    I have a Gold account (360).

    Can I add both as family members although they have different consoles?

    If not what is the cheapest way of doing this? UK based.

    Thanks

    Moving from Xbox 360 to Xbox One and Family Sharing

    Hi - we currently have an Xbox 360. There is a child account which is used permanently and has Xbox Live Gold on it. The Gold expires soon and at the same time we will be getting an XBox One. There is also a Parent account associated with the child account
    but this does not have XBox Live Gold.

    So when we unwrap the shiny new XBox One on Christmas Day we can migrate the child account across but it will no longer have Xbox Gold as it will have just expired.

    Will it be best for me to add XBox One Live Gold to the
    Parent Account and then the Child Account can be part of Family Sharing (and I can add other accounts if I want for other kids), or will renewing the XbOx Live Gold on the Child account still allow Family sharing with both adults and children alike?

    Hope someone has some good advice for me!

    Andy

    Hello AjarCreature619,

    Could you explain a bit more of what you are trying to do? Do you want to create a new Xbox Account on your Xbox One, or are you trying to add a child account? Or are you trying to Login on your Xbox with an existing Xbox Live Account?

    how to add my xbox360 to my account

    Hi! Can you kindly add a little more information to the question?

    Are you trying to add an existing Xbox Live account to your Xbox 360?

    If you are attempting to add an existing Xbox Live account to an Xbox 360, Create or go to the profile you would like the existing Xbox Live account to be accessible on, go to Xbox Live and download the existing account to the profile.

    Possible info on Gears of War Judgement

    Might be a dumb question but this will be a whole new game right ? Not just an add-on to gears 3?

    Error code 83118853 - Multi User Issue

    the reason for this is because of the COPPA (CHILDREN'S ONLINE PRIVACY PROCTECTION ACT) //

    Starting today some U.S. child accounts (under 13) will no longer be able to log into their Xbox 360 (in some instances Xbox Music on Windows 8 or 8.1) until a parent verifies the child account on Xbox.com. All new child accounts will be required to verify
    that an adult is giving permission to a child to create a new Xbox Live account.

    Sorry, Xbox Live signup isn't available right now. Try again later.

    Hi,

    So you have created his account online thats great. All you need do now is download the profile to your console. Now the profile you are currently trying to upgrade to Live would need a new email if you were to connect it but you've already created a new
    child account on Xbox.com so Go to download profile if its an xbox 360 or if it is Xbox One go to Add new and put in his email and pasword and the profile will download to the console.

    Now this new one from the website will be new and seperate from the one on the console and you will not be able to merge them. But after you download the website on you'll have a safe Child account managed by and adult for your son and thats really important
    for a child when on xbox live.

    Hope this helped :)
