So it was a nightmare. ..

I register a new outlook account (Microsoft account) so i can sub the XBGPU
Everything was done yesterday:
1) Register account - US Address and US Region
2) Load up 3 years worth of xbox live gold
3) Load up USD20 inside
4) Paid USD1 to convert everything to XBGPU
5) Test on my PC and everything is fine
6) call it a day off

This morning i boot up my PC and try to play some game but lead me to my account error!!

So i login browser microsoft dot com and found out my account was locked due to "some activity that violates our Microsoft Services Agreement..."

Then request me to key in US phone number to request verification code.

I'm glad i have a friend that can help me to get his friend in US to help out >.< which i had just unlock my account.

Now here's the question, why is my account get locked in the first place sad.gif

Cause i dun use VPN ?

Not sure why. Because most of us here also had to use fake addresses and fake phone numbers. I also didn't use a VPN service. The main difference is that I didn't do all in the same day.
*
not sure is it due to i'm using same alias as my previous hotmail.com or not

As one of my previous experience of having same alias last year (both malaysia account) also kenak flagged and locked on the second one (outlook.com)

Example:
*My main has been with me roughly 10~15 years

main last year : abc123@hotmail.com
new last year : abc123@outlook.com <--- this kenak flag

main this year : def456@hotmail.com
new this year : def456@outlook.com <--- this kenak flag


Btw, in PC do i need to keep both microsoft store & xbox app same account?

Current setting is main in microsoft and new in xbox app

not sure why you are getting flagged for security issues, i would suggest using different email address from hotmail.com

MS Store & APP doesnt have to be same account, some ppl do switch account around example you have multiple user in your house.

The only thing i don't like right now is always see this:

Kinda have temp phobia thought it was some error in my account again >.<

nothing much you can do now, i believe you have another account for Windows/Office? most Xbox user that started early only had 1 MS account for everything, if its region issue you can still switch on your main account, but you already had GPU on the other...

but dont worry on that, when you got your xbox it wont show that.
*
Yea, dont wan simply switch dy, now waiting for Xbox Series S arrive then use that account.

Btw, in PC cannot like share game pass, right?

What about in Xbox ?
I sign in my US Account (sub with XBGPU) and Asia Account (no sub)

The Asia Account can enjoy everything like how Playstation Plus works?

i wanna check, for the PC xbox apps, i tried install and login, it say my region cannot access xbox game pass. does this means that gamepass is only can use at xbox?
*
Bro, have u change the store/ xbox app or ur computer region to US region ?

i dont remember can share game pass games or not, but in xbox can share games. go to setting in xbox, then sign in your main account. then click home. mean this account is home account, then sign in your asia account. then this asia account can play any games that main account have... still, dont remember game pass can share or not...
*
If US = main and with game pass, Asia = sub

What ever US download from game pass entitled games, Asia can play right?

My last xbox era was back date to xbox 360 d XD
Skip Xbox One

i been share games with my friend since day one on xbox one. i dont think game pass games can share. correct me, if i am wrong...

other then game pass all the games main account bought can share with sub account. but why do want to play games on sub account and you have the main account the 1st place...

this share game thing is now for xbox one and still unclear on series x/s until can get one to test...

Haha.. have to make sure ba, since microsoft so many hidden rules also after i read those complaint in microsoft community.

Better be safe first until we accidentally do it >.<

Do we need any step down covnertor

Since the pwoer brick is inside

Just thought bout this

It's not really a power brick anymore. What we used to call the power brick was actually a power adapter. Since Xbox One X, the power supply is now using universal voltage. Meaning should be usable anywhere in the world. No more using power adapter with specific voltage requirement.

Like the one Sony using all the while, right?

I'm not sure about the last few Playstation consoles to be honest. PS1 and PS2 still used country specific power supply. You still needed a power adapter with them. Supposedly PS3 and PS4 use universal power supply though. PS5 too.
*
I have PS3 slim, PS4 and both just grab the generic Sony power plug actually.

From those unboxing video, i saw the head are also like same one, so i assume should be no problem.

I think Asia version (Singapore) should be using UK plug

Yeah that means it doesn't require step up/down transformer. It accepts both 110/220v, so can use anywhere in the world. We follow UK anyhow, so that's why we get the UK type 3-pin 13amps plug.

Right now can only sit down and wait seller to send out, lol ..

QUOTE(LegendLee @ Nov 10 2020, 08:40 AM)
I’d recommend a Series X even for 1440p unless physical space is a big issue.
Main reason being
- the extra 500GB of ssd
- Ray tracing performance of series s probably can’t hit 1440p 30fps.
- back compatible games enhanced performance.

If you’re getting a series S, you will run out of space very quickly.
Which means you’ll either
1. Get the seagate expansion drive (which will raise the price close to the series X)
2. Get a large HDD and run games from there (At this point, might as well get an older one X).
*
But series S has something better than One X which is kinda trade off also:

1) Quick Resume
2) Faster loading time
3) Small form body

It all depends on which type of user XD
Other than the space issue, we can actually still plug in bigger size External HDD/SSD and run like Xbox One load speed i guess?

What it really miss is the UHD drive sad.gif
That's the huge take down if u wanna watch UHD Blu-ray

saw watchdog raytracing performance for series s, the graphics looks dated and the raytracing is like lowest setting in PC raytracing. everything is blurry. i agreed with you, top up series x and u still using it for like 5yrs? the cost is spreaded over 5yrs so still ok la. just tat now series x cant get anywhere  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

OZ/NZ just launched xbox series. I saw there are good news that they are getting more stock than expected. hopefully same case at singapore side.
*

While waiting, probably just use PC play the game pass liao sweat.gif

Not sure when i can get my Series S also.

Quick resume and faster loading time will only apply if you’re using internal ssd or the proprietary seagate ssd. With only 300GB usable space, you’ll only be able to have 4-6 games loaded onto it. If this is enough for you, then Xbox series S will suit you well. If you’ve a fast internet, it helps mitigate this as well.
*
Yea, right now i think it's enough for me since i also don't have the latest modern TV setup with HDMI 2.1
Those TV manufacturer also kinda messy now with all the standard.

For now just grab Series S then see how PS5 goes in next 3 years.

Who knows Xbox Series X v2 or PS5 Pro will roll out with more stable HDMI connection.
Same goes with TV /Monitor HDMI standard


The ultimate issue now is ... Got console, got game BUT NO TIME to play cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

Deleting and redownloading games all the time would be a pain I think. At least Xbox Series S/X can copy games to an external drive. Basically when you don't need to play a game, just move it to the external drive. Then when you want to play it, move it back to the internal SSD. I can see myself doing this a lot when I eventually get my Series X next year.

I will try to have a habit of ... play one game at a time until i finish it XD
Currently playing Ori and enjoying this game.

Else like my current gen PS4, horde so many backlog, gg ...
All those PS+ free game claim = forever in library and no touch doh.gif

My first proper console was the first PlayStation back in 1999. Since then I have Dreamcast, Saturn, PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One. Not counting my Steam / Origin / Uplay / Epic games library. I've made my peace that I will never finish all my games, not in this lifetime haha. So I just play when I feel like it, then I move on to the next. I barely finished any games on current gen. I literally can count on just one hand the number of games I finished.

Lol .. i just wanna have a long holiday without need to do house work those T___T

Yup, at least still have a console to play.

The only reason I’m not switching back to PS5 is because of Atmos and Vision support - although the DualSense is very appealing.

And I need to play my backlog of Halo and Gears series  tongue.gif

And the next gen game cost really pain >.<

Now just utilise gamer pass ultimate to finish some backlog XD
PS4 backlog also a lot now
