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

few weeks ago no issues when buying by creating a new account then gifting to my main
but it halted immediately when i got greedy by checking out few games at once using cart
same thing happens also last time, all was good until i use the cart to checkout multiple games
seems the trick is to buy the games one by one

my main account still block my BP card tho...

oh wait, BP VISA?  they have VISA now?  mine is Mastercard
*
yeah new is visa, the card look really damn slick tho. I dare not do gifting anymore, cos macam need vpn to redeem, dont know why lol. Probably buy at sub acc, then play on main. Only concern is some DLC is account specific, learned the hard way by buying cod cold war ultimate and redeem at sub acc 😂 main acc cannot get anything.

Just tried purchasing. I purposely don't reload so it won't go through, still thinking if I wanna buy.

Can confirm BigPay still works, just that the purchasing process is finicky as always. Purchasing on my main account directly failed unlike last week where I could purchase right away, I had to switch to my alt and gift it to my main account just now.

ok, weird things happening hmm.gif

Nojo help to buy few games and gifted to me, I've no issue claiming them directly from email without using a VPN
but last night when I tried my alt account, found out the BP card is working again, so gifted few games to my main
strange thing is I can't redeem them directly, says region restricted, and I had to use US VPN to redeem them
weird thing is previously I don't need VPN to redeem them, it's the same accounts, same settings, same card hmm.gif 

Maybe bcos my main was initially created for US and my alt was created for Argentina? hmm.gif
nojo ben3003 what's your accounts region?
*
my main is initially created for US, alt is argentina. gift i received from Nojo can claim directly no need VPN lol. previously i bought from alt and even i use alt to claim also need VPN.

My bigpay card not working but maybe should try again few days later see if any cheap game to buy lol.

I just tried this morning using BigPay to buy from Argentina region and managed to grab Sekiro for cheap. 1799 Argentina pesos which is around RM77.12 after conversion. Definitely worth it.

I didn't use vpn whatsoever. Just switch region to Argentina and registered the card using Buenos Aires address. Works like a charm. Can't say it works for everyone though.

ya it is a hit or miss. sekiro was much cheaper earlier around rm40. i start to feel that actually xbox store has more deals compare to sony store and good thing is xbox deals is across all region most of the time. if u see game deal at US store, then argentina store will the same discount but diff price.

Console change the region to Arg or turkey. Then restart your console n your store will change to the region you choose. Price will also shown in their currency. Then add your cc and buy only. But you need to find a fake address for your cc details. Latest patch Arg don't accept visa anymore. Only master card. Games Argentina is the cheapest among all

can recommend how to checkout using master card? is it any mastercard will do for malaysia?
