Nice one, I might try it, had a gander at PUBG, 24.99 in UK, Turkey is 14.72!. Is Turkey the best one at the moment, any other country cheaper?

And after I sorted out a purchase, I purchase it, activate it on Xbox and it will download and work any region, so no longer need to use hotspot? Also planning on using Halifax Clarity card.

With regards to the hotspot that's right, once the game is purchased you can download and play whatever the region your console is set to.

As mentioned previously by me and others, if you're pre ordering make sure you check nearer the time of release for the exchange rate as MS will charge around 10 days before release, so what seems cheap now might not be in the future. Obviously if you're buying games that are already released, you're good :)

The other option is to load a currency card with the local currency and use that, that way you get charged in the local currency which you'll be buying now.
 
Used the game offer to trade up from the og xbone to the x for 259 with farcry v.

Is pubg worth getting - or is it still a laggy mess on console?

I'm confusing myself loking on the inter, so this is to buy the actual game not the gift cards for local currency? When I use my clarity I put in the billing address as a local address and good to go? What currency do you buy in mostly?
 
New white XBX and elite controller coming out. Fallout 76 bundles too.

You're buying the game, not gift cards and yes you put in a local Turkish address during checkout.

The point is if you're pre ordering games right now, at whatever the exchange rate is right now, that doesn't reflect on what the price will be when MS eventually charge you.

As an example the Turkish Lira absolutely bombed a couple of weeks back so the games seemed really cheap to buy in Lira. The issue is none of us have been charged yet, so if the Lira recovers by the time the game is released then the savings won't be as good. It should work out cheaper either way.

What others have done to counteract this is to buy Lira on a Revolut card, so that when they're charged they're getting charged with the local currency that they have already exchanged whilst the Lira was weak.
 
Just picked up an X mainly because I get excited when a new Forza Horizon is announced.

Have been playing Forza 7 for the time being.

I’ve only got live/gold for a few more days, where is the best place to buy 12 months?

Also how does this game pass work? Do you download the games but they only work while you have an in date pass? Or is it more like the ps now model?

Seems a decent machine and looks great on my TV (finally able to play uhd Blu-ray movies on it!).

It's a bit like trading the stock market except buying games aint it? So literally I'm searching which currency is the weakest then use the exchange rate of the clarity card, spoof my location and give a fake local address, boom, cheapo game?
 
Is it just me or is the dashboard menus all really laggy on the Xbox One X? From what I can remember the Xbox 360 back in the day never seemed to lag this much in the menus.

Not 12 months but amazon have a 3 months plus 3 months free deal and you get an extra month for checking auto renewal so 7 months for £15. Game Pass is Netflix for games so you only play the games while you have a live subscription.

Basically yeah, there are various price sites out there that can show you the cheapest in GBP for whatever game you're looking for. Example:

CD Keys tends to be pretty decent for 12 months of live, 5% discount on their Facebook page as well (for a like).
