Purchasing xbox bundle as gift but used my account

Hello Bec,

Thanks for coming to the forums. If the games are codes and need to be redeemed, you can redeem them on your sons account. If they are already loaded on the console and on your account. You can set up

home console as your profile, and he will be able to play them on his account.

Thanks,

Brad

try buying it as a gift on Xbox.com

I have tried, but every time I go to the Xbox site to purchase it as a gift, I keep getting the message of it being part of a bundle when I want just the base game.

Currently it seems the base game is not available for purchase unto its own, sadly. It is only a part of a bundle.

It honestly is a deceptive sales technique resulting in customers paying for inflated prices. It is not any better than buying the console from a scalper. Microsoft should be ashamed. As you stated, what parent is going to purchase a gift for their kids using their kids xbox email account? It would be impossible to keep the gift a secret. This problem should have been anticipated by Microsoft when selling bundles with digital downloads.

Hi Elizabeth, my name is Rodrigo.

If you purchased the game from your account, it will be tier to it.

To purchase content from the Store, you need an account.

If you plan on gifting the game, you can purchase an XBOX gift card at the same value and gift it instead.

The person who receives it can redeem it on their account, get the funds, and purchase.

You get a $50 gift card with the purchase. Honeslty this is the best deal I can find in terms of the console not being used.
