Just tried last night...still can... F1 2020 only RM27.00...

What are the steps you use to buy from Argentina store ? gift card, CC or Paypal?

CC....put bill address with buenos aires postal code...

interesting, someone should try it out!

- buy from xbox
- xbox region set to argentina
- malaysia CC
- microsoft address use buenos aires bill address & postal code

anything i missed?

I just tried this! It works!

Bought overcooked all you can eat and f1 2020.

I can verify that this works. Bought Destiny 2 season pass using this method.

it can be a hit & miss sometimes

sometimes it can sometimes it gives cross region error

for me I'll try a day or two later to try again, usually it will work

1. Which VPN do you recommend? I tried to openDNS the xBox - didnt work. Teach me sifu!
2. The nearest one I got is SG store. Bloody expensive to get some games.

you don't need any vpn now

just change your xbox region to brazil or argentina (currently the cheapest region), add a local address there for your CC (google it)

it can be a hit or miss, if got cross region error when paying, try again after few days

some says reset their xbox also will do the trick, haven't tried that tho...

thanks. will try this later and update! woohoo.

how is it? does it work for you? did not work for me

havent got the chance to try as i just realised if i change region, it will affect my Netflix and change to South American specs?

I tried with 2 cards. Both cannot.
Error when I want to make payment.
Buenos Aires Postal code.

My last purchase was gamertag change. Tried to buy a game on the store today but payment failed for some reason.

First try > restart xbox > second try > 3rd try on mobile with AR VPN. Still failed.

Will wait till next week to try again.

I tried gifting a game from my AR account to SG account. It works.

But is it better, gifting or straight buy into AR account to avoid any bans, if any?

Fly to Brazil....

For those trying to pay but the payment failed for some reason, try selecting new payment method but selecting the same credit card you were using previously. I think it forces MS to do some sort of check, usually works for me when my mbb credit card doesn't work the first time (on US account).

I tried with bigpay 2 days ago and it worked. Tried to purchase online but cannot. Have to do it in Xbox. no need VPN or anything. Just added big pay card and set Buenos Aires address. Zip code have to be correct I think. Change Xbox location to Argentina and buy like normal.

BigPay has similar rate as XE.com and it is much cheaper than any bank CC in Malaysia.

I just bought fifa 21 using this method, it works bro! Used bigpay too with some googled address in city of palermo, argentina. Was charged only rm79.12 for the game on my bigpay.

Thanks for the guide, guys! Really useful for new xbox user like me.

Just an update, i tried to buy a 2nd game (Far Cry 4 for 520 Arg Peso, about RM23.50) after that but payment was blocked. I've tried the following:

removed and then added back my bigpay = didn't work
changed to a different Argentina address = didn't work
restarted by xbox console = didn't work
Changed back to US region, restarted console, then changed again to Argentina region followed by restarting console = also didn't work


Lol, i guess my next option is to wait 72 hours before buying again. Will keep you guys updated.
