  1. Multi users under same "parent" home xbox


    I have now 2 xbox x consoles (one in my son's college home and the second one in my house) - is there any suggestion about best way to set up my main account and 3 user names (under same billing account) so that my son, nephew and I can play and share
    all my xbox assets bought under my account? Thanks

    :)

  2. Internal MS research on Xbox Owners

    10% are ages from 13-17 but 23% of all Xbox users live at home with their parents.

    Transfer content to a different account

    I found a thread whcih has 2 conflicting answers. One says nothing can be transferred, the other says all users on the xbox can share the same DRM. I am the parent. I purchased minecraft for my son using windows live points. We struggled with the downlaoad
    and eventually discovered it had downloaded to my account. I never use the xbox, only my son and I assume that if he wants to play multi player he needs it under his log in. Are my only options to purchase it again using his account or to have him play it
    under mine?

    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.

    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.

    Family Game Sharing Issues

    Hi

    Just to be clear. The parent account is designated as the home Xbox account. All the kids were added on as additional users. You redeemed the trial to the parent account? The same account as the Home Xbox account. How long is the trial? Trials can be limited
    so that could be the issue.

    Updates - home button and multi-media users

    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.
