Free games on Xbox Live if you go Oman

I just went on Outlook.com in Chrome's incognito mode and selected Oman as my location on signup, did the same on Xbox.com and worked fine for me. Much thanks.

how are people getting this to work? What exactly am I doing wrong?

EDIT: for some reason the xbox acct was in the US not Oman. Fixed now and got Sonic and SR4: season pass!

So this can be done via mobile internet too right? Because I don't have any home internet until late next week so I won't be able to get on the Xbox to access through there (my using my phone). There's a few games I want to check as well as some DLC including the Season Pass.

So does this mess your OG account up for a month or so, or what? There has to be a downside to this lol

besides going to hell
 
That's actually one of the games I downloaded, glad to hear that it is not too bad

the music is awful and my only real gripe is no splitscreen; i can't stand racing games with no split screen, horizon is the only one i let get by with it. i actually woulda bought WRC for $15 if it had it. but it seems to have active online with a good lobby system, lots of unlockables. no 'season' mode but oh well, $15 game, it has a lot of cars and tracks to unlock in SP/MP

That actually sounds like a blast to play (besides from the awful music) if it has a good online, glad I got it then

Nah, it's just a glitch. I have gotten onto XBL glitches numerous times in the past and nothing ever happens
 
That's a lot of games and content...if I could be bothered, I'd do it so I can get Bloodforge as that's a pretty enjoyable game from the trial but not a game I'd pay full price for...

Just tried this, works great. Thanks alot OP!! Some hiccups with the initial setup I didnt count on. First I had to google translate most of the sign up page. Like the security question/answer. I had to manually type in the question(s) in the translater.

Next, I found out you can use any made up email address from another provider in the 'already have an email" I used one from gmail.

After that, it was a piece of cake.
