  1. I need clarification on the 360 and gold accounts in a household.


    I used to have the family gold pack on the 360. They discontinued that, and gave us a set of individual accounts for each person in the household for the same time period. Those expired not too long ago. We currently only have a single Live Gold account.

    I was under the impression that as long as one person on the system had a gold account, other people on the system could play online, but I just spent half an hour trying to figure out how to let my kids play Halo online together, which they've been doing
    for years, and can't seem to make it work - or find a clear answer as to what is required.

    Does every person on a 360 need Gold to play online now?

    :)

    If they were willing to share the same Gamertag/MS Account then yes. If they want separate Gamertags/MS Accounts then no. Currently there is not a family plan for the Xbox 360 so if 2 accounts within the same household want Gold, then both will require a
    separate subscription. If you have an Xbox One, only 1 account will need Gold and an unlimited amount of accounts within the household can use gold. Hope this helps!

    Hi there,

    on the Xbox 360 each household player need to have their own Xbox Live Account with their on Gold subscription to access Gold features.

    On the Xbox 360 the Gold subscription can't be shared across accounts or the console.

    To be sure also check
    http://account.xbox.com/settings
    to verify if only gameplay is allowed and also the setting for User created content is set to be allowed.

    Do the household players play on the same or different 360 consoles?

    Let us know the results

    On the 360 each account needs it's own gold subscription if they want to play online. The One can share gold.

  5. If that's right, then it is seriously *** up. I wish I'd known that before I'd plunked down an additional $60 for another year of Gold last month. There is no way I can pay $200 a year so my kids can play together - which basically invalidates all of our
    360 multiplayer titles. The kids have been looking forward to tonight (as it isn't a school night) for days so they could play Halo Reach together. Now they're in tears, I'm mad, and I'm out a now-useless Gold subscription.

    I know it doesn't bring back the family plan, but it's best to look for gold subscriptions online. They're generally on sale on different website for about $30-$40 instead of paying full price.
