    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 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 Posts: 3,992 ✭✭✭Korvanica


    Did this last night - awesome stuff !


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,505 ✭✭✭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!

    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 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 Posts: 7,674 ✭✭✭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 Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭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?
