    Microsoft just ended the Family Plan for good

    Microsoft sent this announcement via e-mail to all Family Plan members. This is terrible for people who have more than one console. Also note (in bold) that this answers the questions about the Gold Live sharing on multiple consoles. So if you plan to throw out your 360's and game library and have you family glued to one Xbox One then you are good. Once you go that friends house your family cannot play in Live on either console unless you have an additional sub. Terrible.

    Xbox One Price drop

    I think so yes but for a single xbox, it takes the single live account and all users can access features behind the paywall as if they had gold on that console.

    arthurdentpc has 3 xbox's tho, and the old "family" bundle allowed each user to effectively have their own gold membership, so gold on each user which translated to gold on each console, now its gold to anyone on the single xbox....

    So I assume on single xbox families the new system is much better, but on multiple xbox families its not as good. Its not super clear tho how this new gold system will work on xbox one, but it does read like arthur is shafted rather unfairly in this new scenario.

    Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere

    Actually just to add to your point, you will only need 1 Gold membership. You can add additional members of your family to your gold account and they will get gold access as well on Xbox Live. I believe it is up to 5 out of the 10 family members. They have
    eliminated the family subscription.

    How do i know what type of Xbox live account i have?

    Unfortunately, Xbox Ambassadors do not have access to that information. If my sources are correct if you are not the original purchaser of the Family pack, it will not say "Xbox LIVE Family Gold Pack" in your active memberships, it will just say "Xbox LIVE
    Gold Member". If I am wrong I apoligize, but this is my logical guess.

    This option is restricted to the primary member of this Gold Family Pack

    Your family pack year of gold access is now expiring and you want to see about purchasing your own xbox single gold access?

    support.xbox.com/.../family-pack-faq

    You want the 4th link down.

    But it looks like everything must be done from the Family Plan's primary member.

    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.

    Xbox live gold access

    Sorry but the Family Gold program has been discontinued on the Xbox 360 which means that each member of your family would need to purchase their own membership to play on live.

    However there are a couple of things to note about changes to the service now.

    1) No longer is Gold needed to access Apps on the console. You can access and use them with a Silver membership now.

    2) If you are in the market for an Xbox One your Gold membership can be shared through your other family members on that console only. This means that your boys would be able to play online with the Xbox One console games.

    Hope this helped.
