I have a solution

Hey there, Savage!

We appreciate you helping out your fellow gamers! We do have a support article about

Xbox 360 Marketplace purchasing that does call out child accounts cannot make these purchases. If users are looking to own the content on their own account, they will need to purchase the content directly from an Xbox 360.

We generally suggest that users who are looking to help out others post in threads directly. These types of threads can easily get lost in the shuffle, and getting this information straight to those looking for it will ensure those will get the help they
need!

If you need assistance with any support issues, be sure to post up a new detailed thread so that our community can work on helping you out. Thanks for understanding!

I have a solution

I have a solution for "Your account is unable to make this type of purchase on Xbox.com. Please complete this transaction from your Xbox." What you must do is, put the parents account on the Xbox One. Then you must buy the game through the parents account
online via credit card. Once this happens the game will appear in all of the family's ready to install list. Therefore you can download it. Hope this helped!

[/quote]Bizarromantis, I don't play with the stars. I know they're useless. Besides, I only see 3 stars under my post...

 

Thanks Bizzaro. I haven't been here in a month and I was afraid I might have missed something. Good to see it's just business as usual around these parts...

The idea that I haven't used or own an X1 as an assumption made by Da Fool. I never answered his question when he asked because I don't like going personal on the forum AT ALL.
I've seen people here interrogated and picked apart and the plot gets lost and it turns into petty bickering. I try to stay away from that route but I do in fact have an X1 in my house at this very moment. I wish people would not talk about
me and just stay on topic, this is not what I wanna do with my time here.

[/quote]I can understand not wanting to get too personal, but why lie or omit the fact that you would have 1? It can greatly help your arguments, yet you choose not to use that? You're a very hard person to understand Sunburst...
Or are you not a person at all? Hmm... Let me ask you this - do you live under a bridge & eat goats? =P

@ Sunburst... I've highlighted your comment to agree with you. This unfortunately happens way too often in these forums.

.

@ GG... I've highlighted your comment to disagree with you. Sorry mate, but I've seen you chastise people for doing the exact same thing on these forums.

.

I've not bought an X1 yet, as I'm waiting for reasons now apparent that I was bashed somewhat in these forums for. I'm glad I waited, as I've just sat back and watched it all play out, just as I thought it would. There's been way too much agro for a long
time now, and is a reason I've stopped posting so much.

.

Put yourself in someone else's shoes for a minute every now and again, and you might just find some middle ground on which to have a constructive conversation, rather that arking up and taking personal offence at someone else's personal opinion. It'd be
nice to see the community here united rather than divided for a change.

 

xeno, can't you tell I was being sarcastic? That's what the smiley face was for... Jeez, some people can't get a joke.

 

@ GG

.

Of course I knew that mate, I know you're not a malicious person. And yes, I saw the smiley, but I've seen blow ups over less than that... Just as you have.

.

I can get and take a joke... That's not what I was getting at.

 

xenomorph, there's a difference between someone giving their opinion and someone shoving their opinion down everyone's throats, and perceiving their own opinion as a fact. Thinking the Xbox One is a failure, that's obviously subjective and someone's opinion.
However shouting that the Xbox One is a failure because of the Kinect and wanting to ruin the enormous potential experience for the millions of people who have already invested in the Xbox One and the Kinect 2.

.

Sunburst, the fact that someone does or doesn't actually whatever in question, or if they've even used it, it is very much relevant to the topic and establishes some credibility.

.

And Bizarro, if you want to point a finger at GG for apparently starring their own posts, why haven't you said anything about how Sunburst likely gave all of his posts a 5 star and everyone that disagreed with him, he gave them a one star. I believe it was
the 'Kinect is not the future' thread.

@ Gamer

Firstly, GG knows (or at least I hope he does) where I was coming from with my post. I simply meant that I've seen him get quite animated whenever the term or insinuation of the old "troll" chestnut gets wheeled out, whether in jest or not. I was simply
pointing out that things get blown out of proportion, even from "innocent" jokes on here.

.

Even if someone tries to bash their opinion down everyone's throat as fact, it doesn't mean they are right, and if you know that, then state your opinion, but know when to fold 'em...

.

I don't know if you were around pre-X1 launch, but there was more agro on here than now. It was generally hostile and unpleasant, and it appears to still be going on. It's easy to express strong opinions and or beat people over the head with them when you're
an "anonymous" internet denizen, it's harder to ignore it though, especially when it's aimed at you.

.

We here on the forums are a minority, and I hardly think a few forum users could ruin it for millions of people. I stopped posting due to the hostilities, and only post for a bit of fun these days, but I do read the posts here most days just to keep up.
I personally believe that if you are happy with the X1, then great, enjoy this forum... If you're not so happy, then by all means have your say... But there's a point that is continually missed... And I learned this from personal experience... There's no need
to let emotions you have for a machine overrun logic. If you don't agree with someones opinion, just move on and let it be. I bet you the topic will disappear faster that way.

.

But hey, what do I know.

Actually I did it.

 

[quote user="Galactic Geek"]

you haven't even given it the chance to entertain you because you don't have a console of your own or admitted to trying one for a significant length of time. To me, that says
you don't have a right to share your opinion here because you simply don't know...

[/quote]

GG, you're having a go at Sunburst, but didn't you say that you don't own an x1, its your brothers? So by your reasoning, you don't have a right to post here.

 

I suppose he counts himself into the "admitted to trying one for a signifigant length of time", which he probably fits into

 

I think members should be able to discuss whatever they want as long as its on topic. Good, bad and the ugly. That's what forums are for. Love it, post! Hate it, post!, have one, post!, don't have one, post! ...if its off topic, abusive or a troll, just
report it and let the Moderators sort it out.

 

If an individual owns a Xbox One I think they clearly can have a voice on the X1 forums. If the individual posts a rant or "vs" post, so be it, no one is being forced to read any of these threads. As for being dictated by a non- X1 owner on how to use our
forums....
