Only if it's co-op with a friend in Diablo. Used to play Call of Duty, but that got boring quick.

Just got the X1. Quick question.

What is the easiest way to move local player accounts over from my 360?
I have a few players I created just for local play and don't want to have to recreate them all over again on the X1.

I remember having to upgrade my daughter's account to free/silver XBL. It was pretty easy after that, but you might need an email for each account that way.

Store the profile on the Cloud, then you can just download it from the Cloud on the XO

What about a usb stick? I don't want to have to create XBL accounts just to move these locals.

Or can I use my Gold account to store these other local accounts in my cloud?

I don't think there is any transferring of the profile you need to do. You keep your 360 profile on your 360 and sign up with the same on the xbox one (and like pinata said, you now need to link it to an email and need to do that first).

From what I can find, there's no way to transfer a local account to Xbox One, because Xbox One doesn't have local accounts. All accounts on Xbox One need an email address associated with them, making a corresponding Microsoft Live account.

Here's an article explaining it:
http://www.co-optimus.com/article/11...l-address.html

Here's threads complaining about it:
https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/25...=2&per_page=20


Here's how to convert the 360 local account to a Live account:
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-acc...le-to-gamertag

You can use family controls on the Xbox One to allow you to control these other Live accounts if they're for kids:
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-o...-family-member


If you use gmail, instead of creating random email addresses for these accounts, you could use the gmail trick of "[email protected]" to create new accounts with aliases of your gmail email address.

re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017

I posted this on another thread but not much response. I have an Xbox. About 15 digital games between actual and arcade games. I gave that to my brother. I just bought the Halo bundle with 2 games and 50.00 gift card at ms store.

Right now my brother can play my digital games. I my xbox were having issues because I haven't made it my home xbox so my kids log me in to be allowed to get online etc

What happens to my brothers ability to play my games when I make my new xbox my "home xbox" tonight?

Thanks

That's not true, is it? Doesn't the Xbox that first downloaded those digital games have the same rights to them as the purchasing account?

The purchaser's "Home Xbox" has rights to them, plus the purchasing account. There's no license transfer this gen.

Thanks for looking that up.

Having to get every friend and family member a live account setup is a pain. And then recreate the avatar.

The mods didn't give you a time machine when you joined the forum?

Correct. If you make your brother's xbox the home xbox then he can still play your games. However, only you can play games on your console.

I think as long as your profile is logged in, anyone else can play on your console as well

CHANGES:
A fix for the Parental Restriction settings not displaying correctly. We are aware that not all languages are localized with these settings and a fix is in process.

KNOWN ISSUES:
Xbox Fitness: When resuming from Instant-On mode and with Xbox Fitness suspended, you may encounter a frozen Kinect preview image, and Kinect interaction will not resume. Workaround: Hard reboot the console.
Please report any issues you discover via the Report a problem feature or in the forums!
If you're new to the preview program, remember that very frequent updates come along with it and most of them are just minor fixes. There have been 3 (I think) within the past week.

This has been on a few of the gaming news sites, but if anyone has an hour and 30 minutes to kill IGN has a great interview with Phil Spencer, Peter Moore, and Seamus Blackley talking about all things XBox with various stories about the history.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/07/...tories-secrets

There's an entire video of the interview here too -

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rUODlNffWmU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Some fun things, including Moore having to get Ballmer's approval for the RROD replacement program, them making fun of the Duke controller for the original XBox, the XBox green color coming from a left over marker that no one used, their favorite games from each generation, cancelled games that never made it, talk about the hardware including the original XBox being AMD until a meeting with Intel 2 days before the announcement, and the "Mad World" Gears of War trailer. Spencer talks about the last couple years with the XBox One launch at the end of the interview too, with the poor XBox messaging being called his own Red Ring situation. Fun stuff.
