Hi all, I'm not really one for games myself, so I'm not very familiar with how all this works, so I'd be grateful for any help/guidance you might be able to give.
I've managed to get an Xbox Series X for my son for Christmas. He currently has an Xbox One X.
Now there doesn't seem to be a game that is a particular standout for the new console, so I thought the best tthing to do would be to get him the Game Pass to go along with it. There is currently a three month offer on where you can get three months for a quid (obviously hoping you'll leave the DD in place). At this stage, I'm not worried about getting a annual game pass until he tells me he is going to get the benefit from it.
However, I got my son a 12 month Xbox live voucher last year that expires at the end of April - and there is also the ability convert the remainder of this time into an xbox game pass.
So my question is, will the conversion of the time left on the XBox live 'stack' together with the three months for a pound thing ? and is this the best way of getting game pass in this situation ?
Also, whilst I dont often play games, I might want to hide from the mother-in-law and play a game myself on his old console whislt he is destroying my internet bandwidth - would that be a problem with two XBox's with the same master account playing at the same time ?
Oh yeah, I remember when I bought a console for Christmas soem years ago, and when the kids opened it on Christmas Day the whole network was foobar'd and it took about three days to get the fliiping thing into an operable condition - which I though was ridiculous, and resulted in some very disappointed kids.
Would you recommend that I carefully open it up and download all the updates late one night whilst they are all tucked up in bed ?, and how easy would it be to re-pack it so it still looks new ?
Thanks in advance for any advice you have....
PS - My son has an external drive on his Xbox one X. If I plug it into the new one, will it save him from having to re-download the games stored on it again ?
