I am based in the UK and I do appreciate there is a element of people who feel it is only right you buy games from your region for Tax et al
but this is a stealth shitty move, especially as they promised a region free console with NO restrictions...
They have even found a way to stop it working with VPN. they recently hit HK and India and I tried Canada and that is blocked as well... tried through console and website, with and without VPN
I am presuming MS points may still work, but would not be surprised if they found a way to block that as well
Edit
looks like buying from US store still works, just other regions are Geo Locked
