    Xbox live (gold) family account


    OK...so I created a family account (which seems to be a mistake) I added my son. Simple enough. However, xbox gold is under my account which seems logical since Im the one that adds money to it. Family account seems that everyone invited to family could
    access said account. I dont play xbox. He does. But whenever he tries to use xbox gold, it ask to create account. Same with easports access. I am assuming I should have created it under his account?? What is my simplest fix? Delete account and put under
    his account? I don't see anywhere I can transfer account. This has been nearly as difficult as trying to link MyATT with Uverse. Maybe I'm just to old. Its not the same as Atari 2600. Ohhh the good ol days :-/ Any help, suggestions, or sarcasm would
    be greatly appreciated....

    :)

    How to Join Xbox LIVE

    This is the final step before you start enjoying the most amazing entertainment experience on Xbox LIVE.

    The process is free and easy to follow.

    You only require an valid email address and a high-speed internet connection.

    There are two Membership levels available: Free and Gold. You can read more about what you get with each membership level.

    Before proceeding, confirm the following:

    If you have a Zune or Games for Windows LIVE account, it means you already have an Xbox LIVE account! All you have to do is to download the account to your Xbox 360 console, sign in and start enjoying the Xbox LIVE experience.

    If you have a Microsoft account, you can use it for your Xbox LIVE account.
    Note: "Microsoft account" refers to what was formerly "Windows Live ID". It is the email address and password you need to sign into Microsoft services (including Xbox LIVE).

    This means that if you already have a Messenger or Hotmail account, you automatically have a Microsoft account.

    So, during registration for Xbox LIVE, if you are asked for an email address, enter your Microsoft account.

    If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can sign up for a free account on your computer, or during the signing in process for Xbox LIVE.

    If you decide to go for Gold Membership, you should have your credit card information ready before proceeding with the process of signing up for Xbox LIVE.

    Steps to follow

    1) On your controller, press Guide then select Join Xbox LIVE.

    2) Follow the instructions on the screen on how to sign up for Xbox LIVE.

    Note: Make sure that you enter your correct date of birth when signing up. This will be used to determine whether you get a child account or an adult account. Once the account is created, you cannot change the date of birth.

    1 Gold Account for the whole family

    That doesn't make any sense, when they have recently scrapped the Xbox Live Gold Family account. (Much to my disgust!).

    Are they bringing it back?

    Xbox live (gold) family account

    If you're using the One, you can set the console as your Home console and he can share the gold subscription. Otherwise, you would need to purchase gold directly from his account. I believe EA Access would have to be purchased under his account, but I'm
    not 100% sure about that. My Home Xbox Setting on Xbox One | Share Your Xbox One

    Family Gold Pack

    Or to make it easier:

    When you add a family member to an Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, you have to add it to the same console as the primary account holder. However, after you add that family member to your Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, they can recover their account on a different
    console and still remain a part of the Family Pack. AND The Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack gives you four 12-month Gold memberships for less than the price of two.
