    Yes Eggnogga, i have also seen youtube video's where people are offering trades via the comment section with people they don't even know. That is just stupid but also very dangerous allowing a stranger to access you sensitive info.

  2. I might be wrong but Technically I don't even think this is setup for game sharing in a household but for being able to play your digital content wherever you go i.e. you can take your portable hard drive to a friends house and be able to play all you. Wasn't
    being able to play your stuff anywhere one of there selling points early on? But as others have said MS has always been lax about enforcing any kind of official the feature that can be used for game sharing(its been around in a slightly different form/process
    since the 360).

    It is a grey area, that kind of feature is mainly allowed for 2 Xbox ones in the same household, in theory YOU must own both consoles for this to be within Microsoft terms and conditions, so whatever you do, keep that in mind as they can enforce their policy
    at any time they choose.

    either way, choose your friends wisely.
    Good advice. While you (Not saying you are participating.) may have a great friend/many friends that you could trust, I believe a lot of people are not so cautious with whom they are sharing, and are trying to save a few bucks with someone they don't know
    all that well. Microsoft needs to address this practice and tell once and for all if it's acceptable or not, and the rules on how and when; great idea and selling point if it is.

    Peace, J.R.

    wouldn't that just happen to that gamertag? i remember seeing people coming to the forums in the past claiming they got banned because their *insert relative* used their account to cause some havoc and them being told they were responsible for their gamertag.

    either way, choose your friends wisely.

    The lad im doing it with is a top lad, known him for years and trust him fully, i was just more concerned about if it was allowed but then i've seen an actual page on xbox.com that tells you how to do it so i'm guessing its pretty ok to do
