Guys grab your game pass ultimate at $1 for 1 month, MS will convert all your existing XBL gold duration up to max 36 months to ultimate too!

Make sure you top up your XBL gold first, im at 31 month ultimate after the ugprade.

That Xbox gold live need to top up for how many months? 12 months?

Depends how much you want to topup, max at 36 months. if you buy $1 ultimate then it will only convert existing subscription, even if you topup later it wont extend. best is get as much XBL gold you can then upgrade with $1 to get converted to ultimate!

Holy Macaroni! that's the deal of the century there!  drool.gif

btw, bro, can we stack XBL Gold from different countries?  like I get my 12 months XBL Gold now from MS Rewards
then get another 12 months from Argentine store? hmm.gif

You cant stack XBL gold from different country, if you have existing it needs to be the same region.

Topped up 2 years (from a key reseller RM205 for 12mths) - got 2 months free under UK gold because that was where my gold was - turns out it doesn't matter because gold codes are global now.  Had a lot of trouble getting buying the $1 ultimate game pass conversion on the website.  Got home and managed to pay the $1 conversion fee on my xbox in the US marketplace with the recurring fee in USD.  So yeah it's kinda region free now as I have credit card details in both US and UK - and Malaysia windows marketplace..

I tried stacking SG XBL gold (existing 6-7 months) with US XBL gold (24 months) i get this error.

You currently have a subscription from a different region. If it still doesn't work, please contact customer support.
Change your Microsoft Store region You currently have a subscription from a different region. If it still doesn't work, please contact customer support.
PUR-ConversionBlockedCurrencyCountryMismatch

so i guess its because my sub has not ended hence i cant topup from different region?

Anyway i switch to SG on xbox region to claim the code so it stacks after then switch back to US.

mind to share where you got your 24 months XBL, and at what price?

cdkeys used to have the best deal, but seems nowadays they no longer give out discount codes sad.gif
seagm selling RM221, wanna pay via Boost for some savings but Boost still down doh.gif

Got it at 50% discount from friend ($50 for 24months), he's MS employee. (He has quota, so i cant help ppl buy)

I think it's because I bought a xboxlive code that specifically said global?  These days I'm really out of touch with all the xboxlive geo unblocking stuff so I'm just glad I could get gamepass on the cheap for my kid.
*
it could be though, the code it self is region free im 100% sure on that. Probably they do not allow continue sub from different region, its kinda like when you have XBL gold you cant switch xbox360 gamertag profile region, im still stuck at SG from back in the days.

wait so you also stuck with SG ah. ever since got Xb1 I never let my XBLG run out. so maybe thats why I cant change region. been trying to change region since 2016 still cant I thought CB my account kena flag for my previous region hopping purchase  whistling.gif
the only reason why i want to change back to US cause X360 games in SG is lesser then US. another thing I can buy X360 games using gift card balance IF you use X360 dashboard/console. don want to use my DC biggrin.gif
*
what i hate the most is some 360 GWGs we cant claim it, region lock to US only.

Yes from reading at how to change 360 gamertag profile region, it has to be done on 360 it self. I have never try it on my 360, need to setup back & all leceh. lol

cant claim cause SG get different 360 GWG. example last year Lego Indiana Jones 2. usually la cause that game is no more in that region 360 marketplace. so they keep recycling older 360 GWG. i notice Japan selalu kena. lol

I was so tempted to buy when it was on sale for USD30 just a few weeks ago.. but i'm just time starved and stingier with my cash these dys.

I'm hoping that by the time EA Play comes to Gamepass Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order would be on the service..

I honestly can't remember the last game i bought since i got Gamepass.  Maybe that's why the local game shops don't really support xbox since they can't benefit from the initial sale and subsequent trade-in and resale.  At the 70USD price for AAA, the only way PS5 gamers can play everything is to keep trading in stuff.  Makes no difference for me since these days i rarely have the time to play a game on Day 1.

Yeah same here, ever since having gamepass i didnt really buy any games, i dont have time to play game on day 1, just take my sweet time or when i have mood, then ill search gamepass games, many hidden jewel in there.

Many game shops stop selling xbox games (GH from Green to Blue), even a friend of mine who owns a local game shop only manage to sell 5 copies of gears 5, but im seeing the trend here. If there are 25% ps5 digital buyers it also means it will affect game shops too.

A quick note for you guys with proper Microsoft account and ecosystem do not share your password/account with ppl you do not trust, because it holds your office365/Windows/Xbox/outlook.com/skype/Teams/MS authenticator/Credit Card & MS devices warranty information & alot more that you may not remember.

Hi guys,

i'm new to the "Xbox'phere". Got myself a Series S from Impulse Gaming yesterday just right before MCO 2.0. I was tempted by the Game Pass Ultimate offering, suits all my needs - a casual gamer that doesn't want to spend much on games.

I tried to signup for the 1dollar for 3 months GPU deal, but my CC couldnt go through (they even charged 2sgd to my Bigpay though it's still under pending status, probably will be refunded".

Got really pissed, so i trialed using the 2 weeks free GPU code that comes with the additional controller. Was given 2 weeks + 1 month for recurring payment to CC.

So now im thinking what i should do after the 1.5 months. I guess easiest way is to buy from Shopee sellers like this guy:

https://shopee.com.my/Xbox-Game-Pass-Ultima...9360.3639542359

RM220 for 12 months, but i'm not sure if im comfortable to send him my email address + password even though i'm actually using a secondary email to sign up for my current account. Just wondering if there's any other ways at such pricing?

Also, what would happen to all the games i've downloaded (via GPU) if i'm to log in with different gamertag/microsoft account? Can i still play them even with different account? I'm assuming my games and progress should stored in my xbox console, not in the account?

Sorry for all the questions. Hope for some answer and enlightenment from the veterans and sifus here. Thanks a lot!

If you have issues with paying CC on Xbox, you may have to look into your gamertag region, Microsoft Account region & Xbox region settings.

Example if you have a US gamertag, set your microsoft account to US then apply US address (search internet for any US address), change xbox region to US

Alternatively if you want to skip the hassle of those region settings you could always buy the correct region Xbox $10 Gift card, XBL 12 month Gold, claim them on Xbox, then buy GPU on it to convert 12 months gold to GPU. Just make sure your gamertag & xbox are the same region as the Gift Card/XBL Gold/GPU

On Xbox you only need 1 account to have GPU, other account can enjoy games & online multiplayer as well, just make sure to login the main account.

For Xbox game saves are stored on Xbox & Cloud, it is tie to your gamertag. (gamertag A saves cannot be seen by gamertag B account)

Noob question, lest say if I want to play xbox game using my PC only. Can I just buy the game pass and stream the game on my PC?

If you have gamepass PC / gamepass ultimate sign in to the same xbox account on your win10 microsoft store, game thats available on PC you can play it from there, does not need to stream.

If you own a Xbox, you would like to stream your game to PC then you would need Xbox Console Companion App on Win10 > Connection > choose your Xbox thats on the same network.

Is your gamertag region US? Win10 region US as well? if this still doesnt work you may need to find some free US VPN.

Normally it is easier with $10 gift card + XBL Gold or just GPU trial, gamertag region has to be US, US address on MS account, Win10 US region.

Try to avoid buying GPU that gives access to seller, unless your MS account is just for Xbox alone it doesnt matter if it gets banned. If you are under MS ecosystem you are basically giving him the access of everything, be caution.

Best way to buy GPU is through gift cards or codes, different region GPU subscription cannot be stack, they need to be expired first.

Tbh GPU is only $180 a year, roughly RM750 its about 3 new game cost? this is the max you will be paying

RM750 a year is crazy compared to how much it costs compared to stacking xbox live gold and converting.

Anyway, I just recently let my GPU pass lapse after 2 years+.

Turns out that it's not that easy.  I bought 3 years worth of xbox live gold US codes thinking they would be the least hassle.  Unfortunately my xbox region was still UK and US gold codes are not global (I seem to remember them being global the last time i bought codes to stack).  I had to migrate to US region to redeem the codes even thought I had already been buying stuff on the US marketplace for ages.  Once the migration had taken place, it still wouldn't let me redeem the XBL codes as there was a region mismatch.  After online chatting with tech support they suggested waiting until the next day or 24hours for the migration to complete.  I gatal gatal went and applied the codes a couple of hours later and they worked.  Unfortunately when I tried to convert to GPU it didn't work as they said there was a region mismatch and the 3 years gold was denominated in GBP even though I had redeemed US gold codes.  Waited the full 24 hours and it took another online chat with MS to sort that problem out and i finally upgraded my gold to GPU on the US marketplace.

Still jumping through the hassle and paying RM690+USD15 for 3 years instead of one year is well worth the hassle.

Additionally, even though i would have gotten a cheaper deal on shoppee with the link that was shared previously, i didn't really trust the seller as my MS account is a really old account with lots of details and services and i didn't trust their dispute resolution solution which involved giving my accounts details to them.  I just went with a code seller (offgamers) which i have been using for years for that peace of mind.

Wow, thats alot of determination to sort those outs, grats on that haha.

I remember it is easier to do that with subscription ended, so you can redeem those codes on your xbox due to region free then it will work on the conversion. Not sure if the steps you take could work with subscription still active, kinda afraid that it would auto convert XBL gold to GPU, i remember 12 months only get you about 4-5 months GPU if it converts that way.

If you let subscription ends, then you buy xbl gold & 1 month GPU, it should still convert. the $1 is only for new account.

I tried buying the PC game pass. looks like the loophole months ago is no longer applicable. I bought that rm5 pc game pass only to be disappointed that i still cannot install game pass games on my xbox lols.

Fortunately, i straightaway buy a gamepass(XBOX Ultimate GamePass) from a shopee seller for rm19, one month. i have to give my email and password for my microsoft account and change my region to USA then he handles the rest.

now im happily playing on my series S Yay!

PC Game pass is for PC, Xbox Game Pass is for Xbox, Game Pass Ultimate is for both PC & XBOX, of course your xbox wont see PC Game pass sub...

I have said this many times, always buy GPU digital code, never provide your MS account to seller, unless your account is disposable, not shared with Windows/Office Suites/Mail.

The cheapest legit way is to buy 2-3 years XBL Gold US gift card, then 1-3 Months GPU US gift card, for total of 3 years GPU. (Change region on Xbox or VPN US for PC to redeem), of course for new account you can use the $1 GPU upgrade promo to convert all the 3 years GPU.

PC game pass is worth it if you are a PC gamer, RM5 for 1st 3 Months with all the AAA & Day 1 release game, or RM15 a month after why not? cheaper than buying pirated game in year 1990-2000.

Since 2005 most Xbox gamer had hoped Microsoft to notice Malaysian Xbox gamer, with PC game pass release over here it means Xbox game pass might just make it here 1 day.

Hi please read the above post, you can find xbl gold at cdkeys.com.

The legit way is buy from amazon.com, 12 months xbl gold usually cost about $50-60. alternatively you can try cdkeys.com, to redeem other country xbl gold code on PC requires VPN. if you dont have bigpay, you can try CC/Paypal, or last resort is to buy $10 MS gift card (US/WW) redeem on pc/xbox.
