Scott, if you don't have EA Access, you should. It's probably the best thing on the One. So much content for $30/year.

Is SW Battlefront in the vault yet? I don't play many sports games, and that was the bulk of the selection the last time I took a close look at it.

Can anyone recommend an ultra light headset? On the 360 I used the tiny wireless headset. But I don't see anything like that available for the Xbox One S.
I can't use the headsets that look like giant earmuffs. They give me headaches. I'm not looking for great sound. I just want something light that only covers one ear and has a decent mic.

Do you guys remember if there were any good X1 deals last year between Black Friday and Xmas?
My sister just told me she decided to get her son an X1 for xmas but of course she makes this decision right after BF and Cyber Monday when all the good deals are gone at the moment.

If I never see another box of Honey Smacks again in my life, it will be too soon.

Yeah, your stories had me freaked. I just don't know if there are enough games I would make use of. My friend has all the Mass Effect games on disc and I'm only mildly interested in that. I take a long time with games too. I can't play everyday and can sit with 1 game for 3-6 months...

Thanks dude!
I went there just to check out the store and the currently have the 500GB S for $299 and it includes a free controller and free games (from a list). That seems like a decent deal as well since the controller run around $50, right? I don;t know whether to tell my sister to wait on a possible sale or what. I am not sure if the free controller and game is a limited time thing or not.

Is it possible to be logged in to two different Xboxes at the same time?
I have one Xbox One in the TV room that the wife/kids use for Netflix, Hulu, etc., but was thinking about getting another one for my office where I do my gaming. I've got some digital games linked to my account that I'd like to play sometime, but don't want to do it in the TV room. Could I access those games in my office while the fam is in the TV room on another Xbox?

The 2nd Xbox you'd have to log in with your account in order to play the digital games linked to it.

Also, keep in mind that the video apps Netflix, Hulu, etc. don't need an Xbox Live Gold account anymore; any free Xbox Live account will do. You only need Gold for multiplayer.

The Family Pack ended in 2013:

"Home Gold" on the Xbox One replaced it that same year:

You can create a "family" of individual accounts in Xbox One so that each person has their own account, but the parents can put limits on the kids accounts:

Not everyone is happy with the changes:

I'll chime in again : if you bought a year of EA Access on the console, this code will supercede it and you will lose whatever time you have left. If you have an active subscription paid for with a code, this should extend it. But I won't guarantee that you might not go through the personal hell that I did when the authorization uncoupled from the account.
You can stack Live Gold memberships for only three years. If you have over a year left on your current membership, don't buy that 24 month membership or you won't be able to redeem it yet.

I bought the digital code last night and entered it into my Xbox account. It shows up in my Xbox subscriptions. I can go into the Xbox store and download EA Access games. And I played one with no problems. But for some reason, the Hub keeps asking me to sign-up.
