GRP_76 · Nov 4, 2020

Hi.. i got an xbox 360 as gift few years ago. And i bought a kinect and additional controller as well.. till today even after so many years i dont know how to install games.. play multiplayer with my kids.. which games are safe for kids... Etc..

Can someone tell me the basics please.

1. How to get free and paid games.

I tried few.. got some cds as well. But microsoft adventure will work only in the USA.

Marketplace does not show many games

2. Need for Speed cd does not work with multi player.. so me and my kids are having difficult time playing together

Just wanted to start using this device.. dont know where to start

Thanks...

Thanks ReuelSansregret. I will check Microsoft Store and games with gold

Your best bet is to either access the microsoft store online at xbox.com and login there if you register your console you can buy games there and they should be able to install on your xbox 360. It's been a while since I've played a 360 but there also
might be a Microsoft store app on your 360 where you can purchase games. Games with gold will give you access to a couple of free games a month also but the games that are free ate chosen for you.

Log in with your account, it will be already connected to LIVE. If you aren't connected, go to the "Social" tab, and click "Join the fun". After that, click your profile, and click log out, then log back in. Xbox LIVE is about the online stuff. Like, you
can purchase games, music, videos etc, all online. You would get the license for each thing you buy, so if the item gets deleted, you can re download it with no charge. I can see that you have Minecraft, and you probably would like to play it online with your
friends. To make it more simpler to join your friend's game, tell your friend to make an online game session, then open his/her profile from your friends list, then click "Join game". I tried demonstrating what LIVE is all about as much as I could.

Hi,

You would need to transfer the game save to the Xbox 360 cloud drive and then it can be played on the Xbox One.

Oi,

Você precisaria transferir o jogo salvo para a unidade em nuvem do Xbox 360 e, em seguida, ele poderá ser jogado no Xbox One.

Hey Soloxu,

Thank you for reaching out. A red light doesn't necessarily mean the console is "dead." In some cases, it is actually a simple fix. If you haven't already done so, check out our

Flashing Lights Solution. You will be given instructions on what to do depending on how many parts of the ring are red. Hope this helps!
