If the account that purchased the game remains on the machine you'll be able to play the games on that machine with any other account though. As long as the seller doesn't set another Xbox as that account's home Xbox, you'll get to keep the games. You'll want the sign in details and to change the password, obviously.

However, I've seen some people selling games on EBay that are actually selling accounts with games attached. I don't get how it's a scam, but I'm sure it is in some way.

It could be that the account purchased the games with stolen card details and is due to be banned. No idea why that'd be a worthwhile amount of hassle for the seller though.

Tldr: fraught with potential for you to lose the games.

Tried to add GOW3 to my download list ready for when it's backwards compatible but the website was having none of it.

Can anyone tell me how I do it?

It worked fine for me. The website is pretty crap though, so maybe try a different browser or logging in again.

Both Sony and MS's online stores suck. Don't know why they can't sort them out.

I am, partially. It's not always so simple, for the umpteen reasons we've been over several times.

Problem is once you've bought into an ecosystem they got ya!

Great if that ecosystem is great.... but in the case of PSN... well its mostly OK until Sony lose your details or you need a refund for something.... :)

They're pretty loose with them, too. To sort out my Xbox order, MS wanted a verification code emailed to my MS account.

Related ish, my daughter was on the 360 downstairs playing Lego Harry Potter, and I loaded up star wars Lego on the 360 slim upstairs. Mine complained about my live account in use. Can't be logged into two machines playing games?

Hey guys, as I said I'm new to Xbox one - I'm hoping a few of you might like to add me to play through halo(s) over the coming weeks.

Also, is there any easy way to change my gamertag and email address associated with it? My old gamertag has 30,000 gamer points/score and uses my (terrible) email address from 10 years ago.

I'd like to change it to my current outlook email address - I can't seem to work out if this is all possible!?

I'm often on the One downstairs while my wife is on the 360 upstairs - I've never had an issue.

It is indeed possible. At least on the 360. Go to the account information tab and ask to change live id (or something similar). It then warns you that everything will be moved and you'll lose any remaining credit. Once done just sign in with new email account and gamer tag is restored. I did this last month with the wife's tag when i got her a new winpho.

I should add that all your purchases move over to the new liveid too however you will have the same gamer tag moved over. To change that you have to pay moon points or at least you had to.

You can be logged onto a 360 and XB1 concurrently but not two of the same console.

Bum, OK, good to know. These were disc based games, so not sure there's any way to fudge that. Not an issue really, it's rare both 360s are on at the same time.

I was speaking to someone who does it on reddit, I was seeing if it was a legit way to make a bit of pocket money. Turns out no, it isn't.

Usually they get them two ways.

1. Game bought on account with stolen card/funds. By the time the account has been banned, the buyer has already restored it to their Xbox and downloaded the game. The game will still work with other accounts on that Xbox.

2. Account from Russian store where it's crazy cheap, then sold as a markup to us.

Is this the reason I can't even play Forza Horizon offline (the only game I have apart from Elder Scrolls Online, which would obviously be useless in this scenario :P)? I seem to have been signed out of my profile on the console itself and it won't let me sign in again; seems completely illogical that Live being down seemingly prevents you from using the console at all, but it would be coincidental timing if something else has gone wrong with it at the same time.
