My XSX is on its way! Hopefully will be delivered today coz its already in KL...

will wait for hardware revision... first generation Xbox hardware has always been flaky (not like PlayStation is any different...)

damn excited to play Flight Simulator 2020!

My XSX has arrived! Cant wait to be done with work and unbox it!

I'm trying to create a new Xbox account and do the 3 years GPU thing. Currently the 12 month Brazil Xbox Live codes are quite cheap, i plan to stock up on that. The plan is:

1. Buy 3 years of BR Xbox Live
2. Buy BRL gift card
3. Use BR VPN to create a new account
4. Claim 3 years Xbox Live
5. Activate $1 GPU 3 month trial (using this link as guide)

Once this is done, can i freely switch the account region and have everything with me? Or will there be any issues?

I did exactly what you did but maybe except for the last step where I planned to use my debit card to upgrade to ultimate with $1 sgd. payment won’t go through because the live gold I purchased was in Brazil region so the currency conversion won’t work for some reason. Spoke to an agent on live chat and he converted my live gold to Singapore region but payment still won’t go through for skme reason. Finally he upgrade to ultimate with my authorisation and boom there I go.

If you’re going to speak to live chat, make sure you give a dramatic story. I said someone gifted me a gift code and that I didn’t know about all this region thingy. Just give me my ultimate already cos I can’t wait to game on my new console. Lol.

I only got 12 months of live gold code from g2a. After upgraded to ultimate now it expires on 2022 March.

My XSX has arrived as well from Shopitree. Excited to join you guys

Thanks for your reply! I guess ill just buy the BR gift card and try from there. About creating the account, it doesnt matter from which region i sign up as long as i'm using BR VPN during the card redemptions? To create a new acc in brazillian language is a headache, even after chrome translate

Japan unit require power converter?

Ok im stuck at the last stage. I already have the exact amount topped up in my account to convert to GPU, but it is still asking me to provide my CC details

Do u have enough one month worth credit of GPU in ur account?

E.g. I’m using US one and each month is usd14.99.
Before convert I have to make sure my account has total of 15.99 (usd14.99 for auto renew + usd1 for convert)

My final step was put usd20 lolz

Yes i do. BR GPU ask for $5, i have $10 in the account + 3 years of BR Xbox Live. I'm stuck at the part where it asks for the alternative way to pay, since this is a subscription.

Hmm.. weird, my alternate actually let me pick the “usd 20 credit”

You are using US account right? I think i want to change region + top up USD $20. Will i carry over my Xbox Live sub if i were to change my account region? I dont mind losing the BR funds inside.

I think u need to use his method?

I not sure gold live can carry over or not since differ region

You can't change the region. Not the one under your Microsoft profile. And you can only change after 90 days I think.

Talk to them here via live chat: https://partner.support.services.microsoft....b1-e27d761af0cb
Thank me for the link later.

Tell them you can't upgrade to GPU despite having sufficient credit to do so. Ask them to do it for you.

Yea I just finished chatting with their agent, they converted my subs to GPU until Feb 2024 without batting an eyelid hahaha. Thanks so much for your help guys! My first Xbox ever, can't wait to play Halo and Forza!



My first impressions: the Xbox is so much smaller than my chonky PS5, it's mind boggling. Xbox controller sucks tho, the face buttons feel so cheap compared to DS4/DualSense.

Nice. Did you use the link that I gave

This gen really not much hype feel actually.

But overall i think both xbox and PS5 got their own "new thing"

Xbox - Quick resume (the feature that i love the most !)
PS5 - Dualsense

But the sales and the speed at which they sold out feels so hyped man

glad to see so many ppl join the game. Come back is real 😂

But ps5 don’t have the quick resume XD
