Proof of life for the gamers LoL (notice the dust)

As you can see the only button I have had to use so for is the "Home" button and now the "A", but only because they keep making dumb changes for a few users and not users as a whole. Would be nice if Microsoft cared about all it's customers.

In that setup, your son should make your "house" Xbox his Home console, and purchase everything for you and your nephew.

Since your son is the only person using the college Xbox, he can use everything he buys with his own account as long as he's online.

So he can play the games he purchased on any console he signs on to (including his college Xbox and your "house" Xbox).

Then your son shares his purchases and memberships with the Xbox console in your house, and everyone that plays on that console (including you and your nephew) can play your son's games and Gold memberships.

Alternatively: You can set the college console as your own Home Console, and share your games with your college son. As long as you are signed in (if necessary with a second controller) on the house console (or basically any console), your nephew can play
your games as well on the same console you're currently signed on.

Just make sure, that when you leave your nephew unattended with your account signed in, that you disallow your account to send messages, and to prevent unauthorized purchases.

Otherwise your account can get suspended for messages your nephew sent in your name, and pay for purchases your nephew made on your account.

You can't share across two consoles. The sharing feature is for those using the same console.

Just to clarify, you can only share gold/games on the Home console and you can only have 1 console set as your Home at a time.
