Will there be a transfer cable for One X?

Yet another confusion doing digital purchases,

Why not simply buy games on disk - and who can play goes with who has disk!!!!!

Anybody can have it installed - and who has disk can start it - and continue play where they were last time, that progress is tied to gamertag you played with.

Not 100 sure how BC games work - since they are full downloads/install on X1 - but where possible - just buy on disk.

What is done already, is done - but thinking ahead...publisher wants us to buy digital because it means no second hand sales and no multi use(other than special conditions shifting home xbox and similar).

 

That’s a pity. I was hoping I could have the One and the One X each designated as a home console since they are technically different consoles.

Anywho, I’ll keep my sons console as the home. I’ll sign in on the X, download the games I want. Ill play mine, he’ll play his. I’ll buy him gold for his console.

 

New update/dash is rolling out to the public now so you can at least see what I was banging on about & download any available 4k updates.

We can also get ready for the influx of "I hate the new dash" threads

 

When the game is free, why buy it at all?

 

My wife and I each have our own console and we game share. She plays on my "Home" console, I play on her "Home" Console. She doesn't have Gold and as far as I can tell, she'll never need it. Not sure why you'd need to "buy him gold for his console"? My wife
has access to all of the games I've purchased/own digitally and since I have shared Gold, she has access to all the online MP features as well. We play the same games together online, all the time. They automatically download to "my" console when I purchase
them on "hers".

Unless your son has purchased or already owns games under his own Gamer Tag, he shouldn't need a Gold account to play any games you own... even online MP. If there is a game he wants that you don't want to play, you can purchase it with your account and
it will download to both your console (his "Home") and his console (your "Home"). The only time there would be a problem is if you lose internet service. You can't play your games on someone else's home console in offline mode. If you play offline, it has
to be on your own home console. In that case, you would have a problem because he technically wouldn't own any games since they've all been purchased by you.

 

With the new Fall 2017 update, there is now an option to transfer your games from Xbox-to-Xbox over your local network. This will be especially useful for people upgrading to the Xbox One X (and may not necessarily have a USB 3.0 external on hand).
