Buying an Xbox to pay attention?

I'll either get a PC or an Xbox, and if I choose an Xbox, what do I have to keep in mind when it comes to games, what's needed, etc. And do you need an account there?

You need a Microsoft account for Xbox, but it does not work

for games you want to play online you need Xbox Live Gold (60 euro / year) but it's usually worth it, because Xbox brings out a free game every month for you, that you can keep forever for free if you can downloads (eg in April 2019 NHL19 worth 70 euro), often there are also games reduced if you own gold

if you want to watch movies in 4K then get at least one Xbox one s, if you want to play games in 4K and movies in 4K then look at the XBox one X, which I only recommend if you really only want to play Xbox

An Xbox Pro controller is not worth the money if you do not really want to play any sweaty games

many apps can be downloaded as well as on PC and use while gambling (eg discord)

changing your name costs 10 euro, so think again before you set your gamertag

In addition to Xbox live Gold, there's also the subscription EA Access tomorrow you can also get free games

and in addition to Gold and Access there's Xbox Game pass, so there are again cheaper or complimentary games monthly

simply contact us if you have any questions.

You need an Xbox Live account, which is free to create. Then - if you want to gamble online, you have to buy an Xbox Live Gold membership: for 1 year, for example, 60 euro, or 6 months for 40 euro (pass well on electronic markets, which sell some cards cheaper than eigendlich)

With Xbox Live Gold you get discounts that are updated weekly, the actions are called "Deals with Gold".

Furthermore you get 4 free games per month at "Games with Gold". 2 Of which are Xbox One games that you do not really own, but can gamble as long as you have gold membership. If your console is offline 24 hours after disconnecting from the network, the game will also be temporarily suspended. The other 2 games are Xbox Classic (2001) and / or Xbox 360 games, which of course are compatible with the Xbox One * (that is, the games of older consoles can be gambled on the current console) the Xbox Classic, as well as Xbox 360 games remain in your possession forever, and are considered "purchased".

You have an Xbox gamertag that already has a name automatically. You can change it once for free, then costs such a change 10 euro, so be careful that when trying to change the name of your Internet does not collapse, otherwise the old gamertag, still considers it as "Changed".

If you choose your Xbox console as "dial to home console" in your Xbox account, other Xbox profiles that are currently on your console can gamble online because your gold membership also applies to their accounts on your console, as well as all of your DLCs or digital Access purchased games.

The Xbox currently has a lot of games that you can use to play cross play. If many of your buddies play PC, Nintendo Switch or PS4, or they can just afford a smartphone, you could gamble on selected games with them. Examples include Fortnite, Rocket League, PUBG (Soon) Minecraft, the upcoming COD Modern Warfare, etc.

parties

If you have an Xbox Live Gold Membership, you can start an Xbox Party on your Xbox One. The advantage, however, is that you can start a party on your smartphone or PC. In games such as. Minecraft or Fortnite is already very cheap. Another advantage; since only a gold membership is required for parties on the Xbox One, you can start a party completely for free, via smartphone or PC, or join. (There's an Xbox App for this, PC generally requires Windows 10, the Xbox App is preinstalled, and IOS / Android requires an Xbox / Xbox BETA app - there can be no party connection between Xbox One / Mobile / PC and Xbox 360. To communicate with friends or players on Xbox 360, at least one Xbox 360 game installed on Xbox One should be necessary, then start a party or join existing ones in the emulator guide of the 360. - To keep the connection upright The game must not be stopped, no Xbox One or Xbox Classic game started, and not be changed to another Xbox 360 game, in any of these attempts the connection will abort immediately.)

For most features, the console must be online, but most basic console settings do not require an Internet connection. The initial setup of the console, however, absolutely requires internet.

Any questions? I give even more information when it comes to Xbox.
