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.

Yes. I heard many ppl got blocked for around 2 days or 2 weeks or something. Just make sure buy all games u want first. 😆

with Turkish Lira exchange rate freefalling recently, seem it's cheaper to buy from there compared to Argentina
eg: Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition
Ar: 999.75 = RM45
Tr: 65.00 = RM33

gonna try to switch the Turkey region tonight to see can buy or not, since my Ar store was blocked

That’s great. Can alternate between the 2 stores when it’s locked. 👍🏻💪🏻😊

My bigpay card at Arg store is still locked. Saw that there's some big discount on Watchdogs Legion earlier today. Cheapest is Argentina store (about RM54, bargain!), but i couldn't pass payment.

Found out that Mexico store is 2nd cheapest at RM65. My Bigpay couldnt go through at Mexico store either, so i tried with paypal. 1st attempt didnt go through but 2nd attempt went through after alternating between bigpay card and paypal. Maybe alternating between bigpay card and paypal confused the system??? lol i dont know, but it worked on my 2nd attempt. RM65 for Watchdogs Legion is definitely a bargain!

That’s great. I have US PayPal account but Argentina store don’t accept right? Glad that Mexico accept.

I normally use this to check price.

I found a trick if you keep having trouble purchasing and getting don't know what happened error no matter how many times you try, gift the game to your email. I tried it and the payment goes through right away.

If you don't get the gift email in your inbox like me for some reason, go to the xbox site and get the game code from.the order history.

Great tips, didn't know you can gift to yourself. But won't it freeze your own account anyway?

I hope not, if they are going to restrict this they could have make it send able to friends account only and not email or better yet region lock the codes. Well technically you aren't gifting to yourself, you are just sending it to your friends email. Your friend decide not to play, you have no choice but to redeem it yourself tongue.gif

You could have use a different email from your Xbox account and it would work just fine. The gift email was so delayed, I finally gotten it after 7 hours.

Anyone tried turkey store or not? Seems like new game preorder macam tales of arise, turkey sell like 35usd only..

Just now tried sub acc, buy cod:cw ultimate at console use bigpay with argentina address, it went thru.

Bought sekiro too, but then i bought them as gift. should just buy in the sub account. Because when i want to redeem the gift code, it says the region is diff. Tried redeem at xbox, store set to argetina, also same. Then tried redeem at the account i bought the game, using xbox store set argentina also same. Use website also same. eventho my email showing xxx@gmail.com(argentina) at the redeem page, when key in it will check the code and say error the region is diff.

Tried create an account and set location is Argentina, tried redeem, also same. Last resort, turn on my expressvpn to argentina, and tried redeem via website, and it works. phew.

So if wan buy, better buy straight, if not gift card need VPN to redeem.

Update: i switch my VPN server to US, and try check the code, and no error sweat.gif
