Hey guys,

Just redeemed a 12 month Xbox live gold subscription code and I now have live until the 4/5/2021. (Got the extra month)

I want to upgrade it to ultimate and it says it's 1 euro for the first month, 13 euro per month thereafter so kind of threw me! Is this the option to select when to upgrade all 13 months for 1 euro? And then it will start charging me 13 euro/month from next May? (can switch this off)

Thanks!

Yes.
When your subscription is finished, and auto renew can be turned off.

No - it used to be like that with the 1 Euro - now you have to buy a key for 1 month of ultimate and then it will upgrade your live to ultimate for the duration of your live sub that you just got (i.e. 12 months) - so it's about another 9 Euro for the 1 month ultimate but that does the full 12 months for you

Or at last that's my understanding of it

That's only if you previously redeemed the €1 Ultimate offer.

Anyone else getting an error code 0x803f900a when trying to play xbox game pass games?

Figured out what was wrong here the damn game was removed from Game Pass and to make it even stranger the two games I tried were both taking off so I thought there was a issue on Xbox live end.

How long do games generally stay on for?

I didn't even know they took games off. I thought they just kept adding more.

There are a fair few AAA games on there that I should really play before they are taking off.

They remove games quite frequently, usually with only a week or 2 notice.

If you check the app it tells you what is leaving soon.

Currently scheduled for removal shortly are

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2
Guacamelee
MX vs ATV Reflex
Prey
Samurai Shodown II

The sale they have on at the moment has some excellent deals, I got a couple of the lego games for peanuts to keep the little fella occupied. They are good fun to be honest!

Started the Surge 2 last night. Enjoyed the first game, this seems like more of the same but combat feels a little tighter. Really like the gear system and how you acquire and upgrade it by hacking parts off of enemies.

Daughter bought Xbox and arrived today. I've set up same as I did with my Xbox 2 weeks ago, bought 2x 12 months Xbox live and done ultimate for 1 euro but it's only given me until June. Different email address used and gamertag.

Sure it isn't June 2022? Why didn't you just account share. If you set up your daughters Xbox as the home console for your account she would have access to your Gold, Game Pass and digital game purchases.

No it's June 2020, was just onto Microsoft, very stressful:mad: he saying that the 2x 12 months didn't redeem so I only redeemed the 1 month free pass that came with Xbox.
I wasn't aware of the account share, so I didn't need to buy her the gold ?

No, seeing as the 2 x 12 month cards weren't redeemed I'd set up the account share and sell the codes on adverts or similar.

Thanks. Got my 2 codes immediately

nicklauski · 10-04-2020 12:50pm

Hi lads,
Right. Think I may have missed something or messed up.
Have renewed my gold for 12 months. Then tried renewing ultimate, bought a month for 9.99.
However, it hasnt converted to 12 months, so do we reckon this offer is now over?
Thanks in advance
Nick

edit : seems I've only purchased game pass for the month and not ultimate. Will get on to microsoft and see if they can refund/change

You can still upgrade to Ultimate from there, the 1 month of regular game pass will convert to an additional month of Ultimate.

As sniper_samurai above says, it's not the end of the world. If you now upgrade to Ultimate, you'll get 14 months of Ultimate. 12 from the Live Gold, 1 from the gamepass, and 1 from the Ultimate upgrade offer.

It keeps telling me I'm trying to downgrade my subscriptions. When I'm clearly not. I'm trying to upgrade ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚
I'll try again later. Its doing my head in.

Edit: should I just buy a months code and redeem that?

Double edit : Got there in the end on the console. Got through to July 21 for 56. Live 45, Gp 9.99, Ultimate €1.
Would have stacked gold but the other half would go spare if I splurged 100 quid in the one go ha ha ha
