Hi all,
So with the XBOX ONE deals I am considering getting a 2nd XBOX ONE for my media room.
But I have a few questions... XBOX 360 was quite poor for trying to use one XBOX LIVE Gamertag on two consoles, at least back when I tried it a long time ago. It was a very cumbersome process you would not want to do every day.
So, a few scenarios:
Assuming all games are digital, all saves are in the cloud, and gamertag was initially set up on both consoles, how smooth will the following scenarios work out?
Scenario 1: Let's say I have DESTINY in digital on both consoles. I start playing upstairs, save game in cloud, exit game, do *not* log out of live, then move downstairs and log in there with same Gamertag - will downstairs console automatically log out upstairs console?
Scenario 2: I am watching Netflix/WWE Network/etc on my gamertag upstairs. Someone continues to watch that upstairs and I go downstairs to play a game on same gamertag. Will the streaming video upstairs be shut down or continue to work since it does not require live subscription? Will downstairs seamlessly log in?
Scenario 3: I am streaming XBOX Music on my gamertag upstairs. Someone continues tot listen upstairs and I go downstairs to play a game on same gamertag. Will the streaming audio be shut down or continue to play?
I haven't owned two of the same console ever but in my current situation it would make sense for games and media. I just want to know if I can go between the two easily without having to jump through hoops as was the case with XBOX 360. If someone could give some insight on any of the above scenarios it would be very helpful - thanks.
