I decided to check out an estate sale advertising electronics and left quite pleased. I left with the following, all for free:
- Talon Media Remote for Xbox One
- Xbox One Rechargeable Battery
- Xbox One Chatpad
- Xbox One 1708 Wireless Controller
- Xbox One X 1787
After setting up the console, I was pleased that it loaded and worked. It prompted me for a hardware update, so I began that process. However, once that was over, the console stopped being able to yield a signal, no matter the TV set or HDMI cord being used. From my understanding, this is a widespread problem going back several years. Shame on me for thinking an update would better the experience.
Edit: After attempting to start up the console in low resolution mode several times without any luck, I finally was able to, and the system seems to be working now. After looking around some more, I seem to now also own a few digital games. I'm unsure if they're tied to the previous owner's account or not, but I can launch them fine when logged into my own account. I'm not sure if removing the previous owner's account will remove the software. Nevertheless, these games are in my system's library:
- Air Missions: Hind
- Galaga Legions DX
- NASCAR Heat 2
- Prominence Poker
- Pure Chess
- Pure Hold'em
- Roblox
- Scrabble
- Uno
- Video Poker
- Wheel of Fortune
No a very effective Estate Sale if they are just giving stull like that away free, lol.
Sounds like the original user has that set as his/her home Xbox. As long as that's the case, anything they bought will be playable by anyone on the console. If that person changes their home Xbox, you will lose access (Not Prominence Poker or Roblox because they are free games anyway). I think removing the account would also remove it as the home Xbox.
