Ok, my question is primarily for xbox gamers as that is what I have, but if PS gamers are doing this, then please feel free to post how you are doing it. All tips/tricks and advice are welcome. I will reserve the second post so that worthwhile advice can be copy and pasted there.
Since 2014 I have been all digital. As I live in the EU, paying 70 euros, now 80 for some games is getting harder and harder to swallow. I did manage to get The Division gold edition off of the Argentinian xbox store for 35 euros a few years ago (now pretty much impossible), and buy all of my games now off of the US store. I can get most new releases for around 55 euros, but there is still money to be saved by using the Hong Kong store for example.
To get games from the US, I acquired an American address and phone number from www.Borderlinx.com many years ago. I then simply buy prepaid cards from Playasia, switch my xbox to the US, redeem the card and download from the store onto my console.
Now, can you do the same with other regions? Like Hong Kong, get a Hong Kong address and phone number (if so from where?)
Buy the prepaid cards and redeem them on your console or do you need a VPN and do it on the microsoft website for that country instead?
Any problems?
Cheapest store?
Most new games are in the 45 euro range on that store, and for EU players, pretty soon you that will almost be 2 games for the price of one once every game is 80 euros. Same I imagine for PS players. So every little helps.
Come on, help you fellow gamers get the best deals possible
