We do have 2 copies of Destiny (hard copies because digital download wasn't feasible). But we have both TDB and HoW and each was only purchased once. I bought them on my xbox, and they were immediately downloaded onto the home box and available to play without any extra work. I would assume that we could have gotten 1 single digital download to share on both boxes too.

Edit: I know you could do it with one Digital download because when I bought my xbox it came with the digital version of MCC. After I downloaded it, my bro didn't need to put his MCC disk in anymore to play :) It only took 1 month to download it on my 1.5 DSL connection!

I would hope you could get the free 360 to xb1 upgrade to save you some bucks. If so, you may only have to buy the $40 digital TTK expansion for both xbones one time. I'm not sure if a 360 expansion can be uprgaded to xb1 though.

So theoretically on 2 xbones. $60 for vanilla destiny, $20 TDB, $20 HoW = $100 bucks for as many people as you want, with the exception that only the 1 gold account can play on the non-home xbox. Plus another 40 when TTK comes out.

He has his own gold account, but my daughter does not. She can still play on just my XB1 through the family share, but not on the others.

When I buy a 2nd XB1, we'll treat it just like the two 360s. I will be able to play on both but he can only play on one.

Expansions are different. They're tied directly to each account. I have to buy an expansion for me and one for him.

Your account gets to play whichever game it has, regardless of which Xbox it's playing from.

Let's call them Home Xbox and Away Xbox. You constantly use your account on Away Xbox and your kids will only be able to play your digital games (with their account) on the Home Xbox. Whenever you buy a digital game, it will automatically download on Home Xbox and will be available for your account (and your account only) to play on Away Xbox.

Only one game, it works like this:

1. Buy digital TTK Legendary Edition (Or Collector's if you are so inclined) on your "home Xbox One" with your account
2. Log in as your account on your second Xbox One
3. Download Destiny to that Xbox, and you can play Destiny as long as you are logged in on the second Xbox
4. Someone can still play Destiny on your "home Xbox One" even when you are not logged in to it.

If you buy two xbones, you will only need to buy 1 digital copy of the game. You can set one as the home box for the profile that downloads the game, then anyone can play destiny on it regardless of their live account status. Then you can log into the other xbox on your Gold account that purchased destiny and install it there too, without having to pay again. From there on out anything you download on your alternate Xbox using that Gold account will automatically be installed to the home xbox.

Whoa... Slow down for my slow brain to catch up...

So currently I have two XBL Gold accounts, two 360s, two copies of Destiny, etc. This allows me to play with one of my kids (or two of them to play together). Yes, I would purchase two Xbones. Would I not need to purchase two copies and maintain two Gold subscriptions?

Help me understand what I'm missing!

I will be forced to choose the Xbox One version if there is no upgrade package. :(

Your best bet is to drop your 360 out the window and just support the Xbone version from now on.

My twenty 360 games actually came to life, jumped out the window before I could drop the console, and created a plastic pillow with their carcasses, thus saving the system.

(Also, thanks for the answers.)

I had everything on the 360. When I got the Xbox One, I installed Destiny. I was then worried I'd have to re-buy the expansions. But I didn't need to - they were ready to be downloaded for free.

... But why did that happen, again?

If I buy Taken King, do I get on the 360 for free, too?

There was a special promotion that would let the 360 or PS3s digital version of Destiny and its expansions transfer forward. Nothing has been said yet, but I highly doubt TTK will get the same treatment. Your best bet is to drop your 360 out the window and just support the Xbone version from now on.

I have base game on 360, and thus also on Xbox one and might like a notated public domain story, but feel like the coin cut out runs a real risk of ruining it for me. I barely ever play on Xbox and never on 360. iirc I have one guardian at level 24. The physical collectors edition is only sold for XBONE.

Should I
1 buy the expansions on 360 and use the upgrade feature to also have them on XBONE (does that work with TTK?)
2. Get the collectors edition with book thingy and thus get my XBONE up to date
3. Get the DVDs with all expansions, thus giving up my disk less existence and re-buying the base game (why is the digital version 80 bucks/ why is there no digital version of the disk release?)
4. None of the above because I play on PS4 and I'm a ray-tard for even thinking about all this?

(I'm like 90% sure I just want the expansion on ps.)

Bonus round: how much time would it take to get my Xbox gal up to 39 so I would get the black tiger shader/bike? This relates to option 1.
