    The broken wishlist mechanism of Xbox - Console and PC and Website


    Hello Folk,

    One of the things I like to do is add games to my wish list. That way, I can buy them later, or wait for the price to drop or a sale and then grab them.

    The problem is, its almost impossible to add items to wish list in the entire Xbox Eco-system. Here are things I have noticed.

    1. On my surface pro, the Microsoft store does not even have a wish list option on the top right corner. Both the PCs are updated to the latest windows version available. So, updates cannot be the problem.
    2. On my main PC, there is a wish list option in the Microsoft store, but this morning, it stopped showing my wish list, asking me to sign in. Of course, I am already signed in because I can see my past orders, library and all that. That means, as of today,
      I can neither add items to the wishlist, nor can see them on the store app.
    3. Now, I logged into xbox.com, and I can see the wish list just fine. Unfortunately, on xbox.com, there is no way to actually add items to wish list. I can see the buy button, but I see no heart symbol (which is for wish list I think) or add to wish list
      option anywhere.
    4. Thanks to the recent updates on the iOS, I cannot even buy games on my iPhone or iPad. So, adding or managing wish list remains a distant dream.
    Why is it so broken? No other gaming platform makes it so hard to maintain a simple games on wishlist. I have PS4, Origin, Steam and GOG. No one makes it this bad.

    What is the story? what am I missing?

    :)

    Gamerscore Reset

    "I know why people do mod their consoles/accounts its because of tormenting company that cant trust their customer" That's not it at all actually. I'm not a Microsoft employee at all, but this isn't a trust issue. The Xbox Live system isn't hosted locally.
    Once you connect your account to Microsoft servers, you agree to Microsoft's terms of using their storage space to store your profile, achievements, gamerscore, etc. By modifying aspects of your Live profile, you have breached secure mechanisms designed to
    protect data stored on Microsoft servers, meaning you have broken the terms and conditions of the XBL service. There is also a fundamental difference between PC gaming and console gaming: you can access the filesystem on PC, not on consoles. This isn't you
    being treated as if you've broken the law, but rather as someone who has broken a contract.

    Something strange happened to visuals

    You can try your ‘broken’ hdmi xbox cable on a pc, to see if it is actually broken or if it has just started not worling with the console.
