    Pre owned Xbox One, can't buy games.


    I recently bought a pre owned Xbox one and I'm trying to buy a game but it says that I'm a child account and I need to be put as an adult account to buy the game I want. The amount is nor on the Xbox, but it's the only adult profile on my Xbox. How do I
    get my account as an adult account without deleting my save files?

    :)

    Can't you just buy a pre-owned XBOX cheap just to tide you over until next gen?

    Hey there RageWestfall.

    Once your account is set up as a child account there isn't an option to change it too an adult account until the account's age reaches 18 (depending on your current locale). You'll need the owner of the adult account to make the purchase for you.

    Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition Problem

    Was the game brand new or pre owned? If it was a pre owned game then it might have previously had a code for the dlc included in the case which now might not be with it as it has been used.

    Hopefully this helps!
    Its brand new buy it today, the one that says Xbox 360 and Xbox One on it, it has 2 disc

    New or Preowned?

    [quote user="KALEEF"]

    I mean if we all bought pre owned then there would be no more new games coming out!

    [/quote]

    But if we all bought pre-owned then the games wouldn't be pre-owned because someone would have had to buy the game new first and then trade it in but then we would not all be buying preowned and oh god my head hurts.

    -

    There's nothing wrong with buying pre-owned. Game releases make most of their revenue in the initial week of release before pre-owned copies are easily available. Devs can include online passes as a sort of incentive but this shaming of people buying pre-owned
    is absurd.

    Used games

    Just a hunch, but in what condition are your "pre-owned" games? Sounds to me like they're not being recognized (possibly due to scratches or other read-only errors), unlike your "new" games. How many pre-owned games did you buy? And how many were tried on
    another console? Have you tried cleaning the discs? If this fails, try buying a *new* copy of one of those pre-owned titles, and if it works just fine on your console then you'll know it was prolly a fault of buying the pre-owned stuff (ie, somebody else's
    rejects).

    Is it ture that we can not play PREOWNED games on XboxOne?

    That is not true, you will be able to play pre-owned/used games. I strongly reccomend you buy the Xbox One as it is much superior than the PS4.
