    Two Xbox Ones ?


    I currently have an Xbox One and an Xbox 360, and I am a long time live gold member. The xbox one is in the family room, it used for a lot of movies and a little gaming. The xbox 360 is in my "man cave" and it is used for games and rarely a movie. But
    with some new games coming out in the next few weeks, I was thinking of getting a second xbox one for the man cave.

    Is there any restrictions or anything that would prevent me from using two xbox ones?

    I realize being logged into both at the same time would probably be a no-no, but I don't think that would be much of an issue for me.

    :)

    I have two Xbox consoles in my living room. An Xbox one X and a regular Xbox one. If the Xbox One is turned on and then I turn on the Xbox One X it will power off the other console. Any ideas on what to check to resolve this issue?

    What Doc said.

    Sure you can use the Home Gold but you can only use it on one console at a time. Also, if they want to go on Xbox 360 (which is highly popular), you'll need your own Gold account to play multiplayer games and join XBL Parties on Xbox 360. You can't join
    or create an Xbox Live Party on 360 without holding a Gold account. And everyone gets special monthly Games with Gold deals when you have a Gold account. Gold is better. And it's easier to socialize with Gold too. And 12M Gold membership is affordable for
    yourself. In NZ rrp for 12M Gold is only NZ$79.95 though some authorized retailers offer it for NZ$48 when they have sales - I benefit a lot from the retailers. If you get Gold for yourself it isn't expensive and well worth the money. Get it once and you won't
    have to worry about it for a whopping long 12 months. Having Gold is like being a VIP member on XBL in contrast to just having a Free Account on XBL (or what some on here still call Silver even though it's officially called Free Account now.

    nope, just cant't be signed into both Xbox Ones at same time. Designating one Xbox One as your Home console (only one console can be a HOME console) will allow anyone playing it to enjoy your GOLD features. Also you can be signed in with one xboxone and
    xbox 360 simultaneously.

    yes you get any gold feature on any xbox one you are signed into. You do not have to be signed into the Xbox you designate HOME so the rest of your family or friends to enjoy gold benefits.

    The Home setting can be found under settings, on the left hand side of screen bottom tab "my Home Xbox".

    Also, if you are signed into your 2nd xbox (the non home xbox) other persons can also enjoy the benefits of gold on that console. That is how I let my two boys play together on 2 consoles. Neither has gold, but as long as I am signed into the xbox without
    Home, both can play each other in minecraft for example.

    use home gold console sharing...

    why not make his console your home console... he gets access to all your games, apps and gold subscription benefits... meaning he does not need a gold account saving you some money... also any game you buy is available to that console and yourself.. meaning
    you only need to purchase a game ONCE..

    when you purchase a game.. you get 2 licenses... one tied to your home gold.. one ties to your account...

    It should be noted that the 2 for 1 game concept that Tohellnbak is talking about refers exclusively to digital purchases only. ;)

    Two Xbox Ones - Two Accounts

    An example of how it works:

    2 consoles (1 of which is designated as your "home" console).

    2 player profiles/accounts (1 with a Gold subscription and 1 without).

    Any digital game you buy under your account is considered yours and can be played by you on any console where your profile is located. You can designate 1 console as your "home" console. Any other profiles on that console can play your games as if they owned
    it too, even if you're not currently signed in on that console. If at least one account/profile on that console has a Gold subscription, all other accounts on that console are also treated as if they have it, even if they don't, giving them access to all of
    the features a Gold subscription offers. On any console that is NOT your "home" console, you can install and play your games as long as your profile is on that console. Any other profile on that console will not be able to play your games unless you are also
    signed in at the same time.

    So, what Tohellnbak is suggesting is that you take advantage of this by putting your profile and games on both consoles and designating your son's console as the Home console. This way, he gains access to everything you have: your games and Gold subscription,
    without you needing to be signed in. You, in the meantime, can play on the other console that is NOT designated as the home console, since you're going to be signed in anyways. This way, you're paying for only one Gold subscription (yours) that will benefit
    both you and your son AND you're only paying for 1 copy of each game that you and your son can play on both Xboxes, even together, at the same time.
