  1. Purchasing games/DLC for others


    I am an Australian with an Australian account.

    I would like to purchase the Destiny Rise of Iron DLC digitally for some friends. Some of them are in Australia but some aren't.

    Is there any way to do so? If not, is there any workaround?

    :)

    Game add-ons

    No you only get two licenses one for the purchasing console and one for the purchasing gamertag

    All profiles on the purchasing console can use the dlc but only the purchasing gamertag is portable and can use the dlc everywhere so unless you only have 2 consoles this will not work

    This is covered by the family faq

    Will my son be able to play my x360 games?

    as long as both accounts are on the purchasing console then both accounts can access any games bought and or DLC for said games.

    Purchasing games/DLC for others

    The easiest way I know is to do it on a computer.

    You will need to be able to log into your friends xbox accounts.

    You purchase the game on your friends accounts and when they get on their consoles the game will be in the ready to install section.

    Another way is to buy multiple codes on amazon or at a game store and send each of them a code.

    I believe you can even gift them through Amazon of they all have accounts.

    Hope this helps! Good luck

    Asking for friends details is not a good idea, it was against the ToS last time I checked. I would suggest buying codes and give them the codes.

  6. You could just purchase gift cards and send them the codes. Asking for their info is against the ToS.

    Hey CovetousCash64 -

    Thanks for posting. As eviltedi and MaximumExtreme have pointed out, asking someone for their account information is against the Xbox Live TOS and we do not encourage that action. MaximumExtreme's suggestion of buying Xbox Live Gift Cards in your friend's
    local currency is good solution for gifting your friends something on Xbox Live. Purchasing games/DLC for others :)
