I want to get someone an xbox for summer vacation.

Situation: no internet at their place of living, and zero games to their name. I want to set them up with a few games while they can purchase them separate on their own.

I had a few questions regarding game share:

1) What exactly does a home console do? I have been playing on mine since the X1 came out, with it set to home. Will changing it to another console one do anything?

2) They live in an apartment without internet. We would set everything up/download games at my place, then unplug and move it to theirs. Would all games still be accessible?

3) Can I still play freely on the system at my house if I'm home on theirs? Installs/purchases too?

:)

1. The Home setting designates where your console licenses are so you can do things like play your games offline and share your games/gold with other people using your Home console. If you change it to another console, you will no longer be able to share
with anyone else who uses your console (if you are) and you won't be able to access your digital purchases while offline (which includes if Xbox servers are down). It's recommended you keep your own console as your Home.

2. Ideally it would be best for them to set up an account to make the purchases on. They can use that account to set their console as their Home so they can access the purchases offline. Then they would set the console for offline mode. https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/Hardware-Network/connect-network/using-xbox-one-offline

3. If you were to set their console as your Home, you would be able to play like normal as long as you are signed into Live. Without internet, they would not able to access any of your games if you do set their console as your Home since the console would
not be able to check for the licenses.

You might have acidentily deleted it from everywhere instead of delete from colsole

I tried and tried to get the Xbox to read the blu ray and game dics. No change. You know what i did? I turned the colsole vertically and it worked. Give that a try.

You can only use the Home Xbox feature on one colsole at a time. You get 5 times to switch a year, after that you have to the until the first day of the next year.
