Hey guys so apologies if this has been posted before, and apologies for posting this on more than one thread, (posted it on the titan fall one too) but my friend and I have figured out a way to essentially split the cost of buying games in half.
If you have a close friend with an xbox one as well, whom you trust, you could do the following
1. Get your friend to come over to YOUR place and sign into HIS profile and set YOUR xbox one as HIS home console under 'My Home Xbox' using his gamer tag
2. Go over to his house, and on his Xbox one, set HIS console as YOUR 'Home Xbox' using your gamer tag.
Now, if either of you were to purchase a game DIGITALLY (please let me stress, that this will only work on a digital purchase) [let's say your friend does it] (you can do this if you have an american account by IP switching or VPN on the xbox.com page), then it would come up on both your xbox and his xbox as a 'ready to download' game, essentially halving the price of the game if both of you contribute to it.
You can access the download (of the game he bought) by signing into his gamer tag on your console, hitting download, then signing out and back into your gamer tag - the download will continue regardless of which gamer tag you are signed into.
This doesn't change anything in terms of your xbox, and if you trust the guy, it should work out as a mutually beneficial agreement
I have tried this with a friend and it has worked fine thus far.
Seems like microsoft intended for this to work for families - like if you have a brother or sister but don't want to buy the game twice to play on two separate gamer tags, but i guess it's a loophole that can be exploited
