Has anyone tried to purchase Live Gold from foreign regions? I just saw in my dash in which location is set to HK that the Live Gold 12 months now includes free Zoo Tycoon and Max. Not sure if its going to work in EU but tempted to try.
I pre-ordered Halo:MCC off the US store and downloaded all of it. It's now in my library and says pre-ordered and when I click into it , it takes me to the store and lets me download it again. I've never pre-ordered a game on the Xbox One and I wanted to know is this normal? Thought it might be something to do with getting it off a different region's store.
What should happen?There are 3 versions of the MCC install package: NA, Europe and Asia
So yeah, that is probably why
What should happen?
My brother bought Fifa 15 from US store and thought the Arabic commentator comes as standard in every Fifa, It wasn't. So he changed the region to Saudi Arabia and downloaded the game again from there, For free Now he has to version
So apparently if you find a cheap game from one specific store and buy it its already yours in every other store, You can download the game again from the store that suits your language
This is great. I really hope they keep it like that
Question; when I play games online, which servers are used and stuff when I have my country set to Hong Kong?
And as I've understood it, Hong Kong is usually cheaper than the other markets. I don't really want to spend time changing country and adding credit cards, so I was planning to just keep my account set to Hong Kong. Good or bad idea you think?
Can someone help me buying MCC from Hong Kong store? Its asking me for address and phone number?

I've made a few purchases from Hong Kong with my UK credit card but tonight it isn't working, I'm getting a PBR9002 error. Will it be my bank blocking it or is it MS?
Edit: Reading a few other forums it seems as if it's MS blocking it. Bummer
I just tried to buy Mordor from HK and got that error but tried from India and it worked, albeit first time it said something went wrong try again. Tried again and it's now installing.
Use it while you can!
I've read on another forum that the same thing is happening for purchases on the HK store. Hopefully it isn't going to happen to India store as well, but I need to pre-order Halo tonight while I still can.
yeah the payment error is just the same as when they blocked Paypal, just find an alternative method of payment, of which gift cards should always be valid.
US gift cards from Amazon should always work unless Amazon change their card checks. Same for Play Asia but their card packages x cost of games is annoying. i.e. cards are $600, games are $429 etc.

In fact, they checked everything and said that my cc is good as always, AND they cant find any recent transaction or attempt for transaction (bank and visa), which -for them- is 100% proof that whatever the problem is, its from the site I'm trying to buy.
It just seems to be an issue with the HK store taking cc's at this point as you can still use HK currency if you load that onto your account.
If MS were really clamping down I'd imagine they would close down all other out-of-region purchases also.
thats good, because the other scenario is not very professional. and thats very politely putting it...
how do I "load up" my HK account with currency? any link for prepaid HK cards or something?
You can find 150$ (~20$US), 300$ (~43$US) and 600$ (~83$US) gift cards on Play-Asia and it's instant delivery. I tried it yesterday for the 1st time, I bought 150$HKD (about 20$ US) to begin with, just in case it wouldn't work anymore. And had no problem buying FH2 car pass after. Now I'm just waiting for GTA V to be available for pre-order!!!
also, they have plastered "tax free" everywhere, yet it is more expensive (like 6euros more) than purchasing direct with CC inside xbox.
Yes because they're selling them at a mark up. That and them obviously not stocking enough to be able to provide a reliable service are why I would like to avoid using these codes if at all possible.
thanks.
right now they seem to only have $HK 600 in stock (which is fine), but I am stuck for 15 minutes, waiting for the email verification of my ...email from play-asia.
wtf?
(I suppose that after my email is verified, I will have to wait again for the email of the code I already have purchased.... )

bah... I have a friend over here, he runs a site for codes and subscriptions that has no mark-up, INSTANT delivery via email and sms (while I'm still waiting here for play-asia) and great prices.
If the CC thing in HK is not fixed soon (why be stupid, microsoft?) , I will call him and ask him to bring also HK cards.
And yeah, it's not as cheap as direct charging on your CC but at least that works and we don't end up paying 69.99. I was shocked when I compared on the DGP website.
I think it's more the principle with me tbh. I don't like lining someone else's pocket for nothing and in most cases the digital prices on HK aren't a million miles away from the price of a disc-based copy a few weeks after release.
Any chance of a PM with the URL for that site? Assuming that it is reputable, reliable and accepts PayPal?
I totally agree with you. And you see that they take advantage of it by selling you gift cards amounts that doesn't align with the game's prices.
sure! check your pm's
100% reliable, 100% instant delivery.
doesnt carry HK stuff for now, only USA/EU
yes, first I posted here, then I wrote the pm. you should have it already
