Is it possible to let my son play the games and dlc I bought with his Xbox Live account? He's 18 and I created his account for when he comes over.

Is Split Screen and Multi-Player across different consoles possible?

Yes! Your scenario above is exactly what they hope for, but it would all be using Xbox 360 consoles (I'm not sure if that makes a difference). Each console does have a separate copy of the game.

I think each person does have an Xbox live account. I'm really unclear how Xbox live works even though I know I'm paying for it for my Son. Is the Xbox Live account attached to a specific account or is it attached to a specific console?

Wasn't there something about not needing Gold for Netflix anymore?

Xbox Live Gold Changes FAQ

Half way down they say that you get Netflix, Hulu, HBO, their first born sons, etc. without gold membership. Hope this helps you out!

Now if I'm reading your post correctly you said you used his Account to buy the content so there should not be any problem. Am I missing a part of the puzzle

Most Games when purchased can be played by anyone on the console as long as the account that purchased the game is stored on the console(if it's Xbox One you need to set your console as the home console). Now with DLC it's tricky. That is down to the game
developers and to be honest most DLC is gamer tag specific so it can not be shared for example if it's a map pack everyone needs to have purchased the map packs.

Is your issue that your son will be using 2 console ? if yes will it be an Xbox One or 360

So I suppose the answer is Games yes DLC most likely not :-(

Sorry if I was unclear. I bought the DLC and games on demand using my Xbox Live account.

As long as your profile is on the console & it's the same console that you used to download the games then yes,he should be able to play them

SAME SITUATION

I created a XBOX LIVE account for my son over a decade ago. I used my work email address when I created the gamertag. Back then Microsoft's services were not lumped under one login (that didn't even exist). When Microsoft deployed their one login system they
merged my son's Xbox Live account into my work Microsoft account.

Now my son is an adult. We need to transfer HIS Xbox Live gamertag to HIS Microsoft account.

This is idiotic.

My son is having the same problem with his Xbox360 live account.
