re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017
how does EA Access work exactly? is it as easy to play a game as just booting it up and it has saves and all that?
i used Playstation Now for a little while on Android TV to play some PS3 games and found it very glitchy and games would stutter sometimes and i would lose connection. i became disinterested in playing games on it with that. is EA like that at all?
and if i get EA Access, i will be able to play Unravel, correct?

Unravel is in the vault, so yes you can play it.

re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017
I apologize if these question have been asked before but I could really use some help. We are buying our daughter a Xbox One to go in her room for Christmas. I already have a Xbox One in the living room.
So here's my questions: I don't want to buy her own Xbox Live account. Can I just log in to the one that will be going in her room and she can play games on it? Also, is there any way to set her up an account without buying her an Xbox Live card so my hard drive isn't filled up with games like Barbie's puppy rescue?
Thank You for any help someone can give me on this matter.

You can't be logged into both, but you can set one as the "Home" Xbox, which your family can use and play your digital games without you being logged in. It even shares your Xbox Live Gold access if you have it.
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.

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:

If she wants to play multiplayer on her account on her Xbox, you'll either need to make her Xbox the "home" Xbox, meaning you will need to log in on the living room Xbox with your account to play online, or buy her Gold access.

From a few posts back:
So if your daughter isn't going to be playing any multiplayer games, you can create a free Xbox Live account for her, add the account to your family, and purchase her games on that account.
If she wants to play multiplayer on her account on her Xbox, you'll either need to make her Xbox the "home" Xbox, meaning you will need to log in on the living room Xbox with your account to play online, or buy her Gold access.

Thank you so much for your help Jay! You are a life saver! One more question if you don't mind. Can I download my games on to her Xbox One if I set her up a free account? Thank you so much for your help.

Can anyone recommend some 2-player co-op games I could play with my 6-year-old niece? She's kinda hyper and not too coordinated. So nothing that requires a lot of instructions or complex controls.
Maybe the Lego games? Are those good with young kids, or are they made for teens?

The Marvel Lego games in particular are good for that age. More button mashing and less problem solving. Lots to unlock and decent humor. Plus you have characters who can fly around as well.

Rocket League is a really fun local game too, and there doesn't have to be more to it than steering and accelerating (so one stick and one trigger) if you want. You can both play on the same team or you could go head-to-head.

Any of the Disney Infinity games should be dirt cheap by now (and the figures as well)

Posted this in the deals thread but Lost Odyssey for 360, which is backwards compatible, is free for download until the end of the year.

Blue Dragon is Backwards Compatible too and available digitally for purchase for $19.99.

While the team behind this feature continues to increase the library of available titles, they’re also expanding the capabilities. When Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon were initially added to Xbox One Backward Compatibility library, they were only available to players who owned the original discs. But the team engineered a solution and now both titles are available digitally in the Xbox 360 Marketplace.
