Have you tried game sharing? I am also a family of four (each with our own gamertag accounts) and we only use two of these as paid subscription accounts, as Xbox allows you to share one paid account across two consoles. I suggest checking out the support pages on Xbox.com for the instructions on how to do this. Essentially, you will set your “home Xbox” for one paid account but use this account to sign in on another console to play. (You will have to repeat this with the other paid account/console to get all four of you playing simultaneously). This way the games and subscription are available on both at the same time, because the “home Xbox” is sort of like a ghost in the background, as it is not necessary to sign that account in for another account to play on its console. Just make sure you decide who signs in where, as you cannot reset the “home Xbox” multiple times, there is a limit. I know this response doesn’t resolve Best Buy’s purchase limit, but at least this info about the game sharing can reduce your subscription spending by half. Good luck and happy family gaming!
