    We have an xbox, we have an account and each boy has their own user name. We bought a new xbox and want to keep using both, but don't want to have to buy two Xbox Golds or all the games twice. How do we set it up? I have looked through the help and
    it says to take our house account off the first one, add it to the second and then have one of the kids sign in on the new one. This just doesn't make sense as to why and then what happens to the original xbox's account?

    :)

    Home console
    that will help you set it up.

    Hey there! If you have all games bought on one account, you can set that account on an Xbox as your "Home Console" and any other account can then use the games and gold for free. The first account can then sign in on another console and use any purchased
    games and gold like normal. Hope that helps clear it up!

    Great idea.

    I wish they could enable gamesharing features in Minecraft. We have to buy everything twice if the wife and myself wants something

    Having trouble purchasing MS Points? Check here

    Hi,

    We're having the exact same problems you had. We're trying to buy 400 points. We tried 2 different credit cards and a Paypal account. Both of the credit cards have plenty of money on them. We called our bank and they see Xbox charges coming thru, but for
    $0. Everything is ok on the bank's end. I tried changing our billing email twice and that does not help. We were able to add 1400 points with a pre-paid card, but we don't want to buy another 1400 point card to get a 1600 point game. Any ideas?
