    Said on the Xbox thread tomorrow the 11th but the poster wasn’t 100% sure.

    *****I read somewhere it ends tomorrow, the 11th June. Don't quote me on that, but it sticks in my head as the 11th is my birthday.*****

    That was me, can't find it anywhere again though. Not sure where the hell I saw it, for some reason I thought I got it from the US version of the offer where it was $1.

    On the base offer (€1), is that just for the first month if you don't have gold?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,614 ✭✭✭BadCharlie


    Did this last night, got 12 months on cd key. So now i have it until May 2021.
    It all helps when money is tight!!

    Before I go and spend 100+ euro, can someone cofirm I can get this

    - I have Live until July 2019.
    - I have Xbox Gamepass as a 3 month offer for 1 euro.

    So I can buy 2 years and 10 months of live and then switch over to ultimate for 1 euro?

    Yeah I think so. You need an existing gold or game pass sub for them to convert.

    Does anyone know how this works with the "Family" setup. I have a friend setup on my xbox where it is set to be his "home" box. I then get access to all his games. If I then give him the money to upgrade live for 12 months do I also get access to his gold and ultimate?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,992 ✭✭✭Korvanica


    Did this last night - awesome stuff !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,669 ✭✭✭tscul32


    I became the most awesome mam ever for spotting this. My lads had gold until next April plus the 3 month €1 deal. Have a friend in Microsoft so got 2 years gold last night for €58 and ultimate for €1 so now they've ultimate until Jun 2022 for €59 😀 very happy kids, thanks.

    Anyone know if game sharing works on PC too?
    Do you have a primary PC?

    Console only as far as I know, it's tied to the machine rather than the account as a whole. I'm not aware of any way to set a "home PC".

    Damn it. This might just ruin a great thing for me. Can't give my bro half the money if he gets PC gaming and I dont.
    Ah well, thanks for the info!!

    Thanks OP. Bought 2 x 12 month subs from https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/ for €42.50 each. Remember before adding each to turn off recurring billing and then turn it back on to receive an extra month each time you add a sub.

    I did this too and it somehow brought me up to May 2022. Seems like it stacks any existing gold and gamepass subs? Anyway, possibly bargain of the year so far!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,256 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    Is there any deadline for doing this?

    Anyone know why its only coming up as 1 month for €1 for me? I have 10 months Gold left and when I follow and clink the link the upgrade is saying its €1 for the month and €12.99 there after.

    It will convert - see FAQ: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/billing/xbox-subscriptions/xbox-game-pass-ultimate-faq#8d92e3b086d64cbbabadc3fab50b0185

    You're best to add another 12 months first as that will convert too.

    Cheers. Im not arsed adding another sub as I rarely use the Xbox tbh but for €1 its worth it for the next 10 months. If anything for the PC titles.

    I have a code for 1 month free game pass (2 if I turn off/on recurring billing) ...would that bring me up to 12 months with the Ultimate upgrade if I apply it before hand?

    Yes, if you apply beforehand. For me it stacked my remaining Live + remaining Game Pass + 1 year + 1 month + 1 year + 1 month + the 1 month in the offer, all for €86

    A little confused.
    Did it last night and worked a charm thanks again.
    Have 2 xbox s in the house and linked.

    I also have a gaming pc.. so can i now get games on my pc for free? And if so how?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 252 ✭✭daheadonu


    Download the Xbox(beta) app from the Microsoft store,sign in with your Microsoft I'd and all the PC games will be under th game pass tab


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,939 ✭✭✭Raoul


    I didn't realise I could stack the xbox golds. So I just upgraded to the one euro account. Which sees me good until 2020. Any ideas how I can add ultimate now with another gold pass until 2022?

    A year of gold will only convert to 4 months of ultimate after you've already upgraded I think.

    Lads stupid question but which xbox live region should I buy for Irish console.

    for the risk of €1, you could try and cancel the upgrade and try it again,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,991 ✭✭✭djan


    Do you think this will still be available in the evening? Or is there a way to do this from a PC rather than the console itself?
