    XboxOne XBOX ONE PRELOADED DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ACCOUNTS ON EBAY

    As title says http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wolfenstei...item4ad785a119 lots of people on ebay selling digital downloads, but on preloaded accounts.

    Was wondering if anybody knew how they are doing this, i take it they buy 1 digital copy then can change account or password to make numerous new accounts to sell.

    Only interested as just brought 3rd xbox one and dont want to start buying discs as doing the share home xbox with my son and buying digital downloads from the xbox one store. Hopefully i can find a way to share on 3rd xbox one for my partners son also until microsoft do the right thing and bring back 10 family members unlimited game sharing.

    Thanks in advance.

    If its 49 quid for a suspect download, how much is one direct from the official shop?

    Seems like a big risk if they are exploiting a loophole.

    Wolfenstein is £49.99 from Xbox Store

    But going forward would be nice if could get digital downloads cheaper somewhere/how as I prefer them as saves changing the disc all the time ;-)

    £48.99 to buy a game that someone else has purchased? Purchasing from the US store is cheaper.

    Zavvi have it on sale for £35.

    I dont think it's a loophole that he is exploting, it's the Xbox Live Gold Game sharing he's profiteering from.

    Ok did not even look at price but there are many more on eBay selling 3 games for £60 have now seen that they lend you there profile for you to download the game and you set your xboxone as that profiles home xbox so you can carry on using game without profile but this is the part I don't get how they profit as you can only change home Xbox 3 times a year so could only sell 3 times. I sure I missing something like password changing or account name changing etc so they can sell a legit code over and over again

    theres no comeback should it all go wrong and it most proberly will.

    they could say in 3 months time,say their key has been stolen or account hacked and u lose the game automatically and then cannot bring a case up in ebay as the time has lasped.
    Seriously If you got money to throw away - spend it on your family and don't allow these thiefs to rip u off.

    Thanks to Itsme
