Hi all,

I've teamed up with a friend to do with xbox one game sharing (all legal as i technically owned both consoles, and his house is my holiday home) and we are wanting to clean up tomorrow with the black friday deals.

Where is everyone buying their $50 gift cards from?

Think I will be getting at least six games in the $14.99 deal The thought of getting games for the equivalent of £5 each is just too good to miss

Thanks!

CDkeys.com is where i buy all my £50 codes

I think he means USD credit? I just get mine from Amazon with a Delaware address.

ah thanks, good idea

think I actually had a paypal account years ago with a delaware address but can't for the life of me remember what email address I used for the account

I'll make another one

Yeah, it goes straight through with Amazon.com - To be honest i'd check their digital deals too, they're quite decent. I remember getting BF4 and Black Flag on release for around £18 each.

You could also change the region on your Xbox to India aswell - Got the Killer Instinct deluxe edition for £18 rather than £30 odd.

glenimp617 · 26 Nov 2014 at 10:35

Thanks

Having issues with Amazon.com. Changed my billing address to Delaware, and although the order went through, they said they were checking my account and to wait 2 hours?

anyway, if it fails I've heard offgamers.com is good for US gift cards, and you can pay in any currency you like (even paypal)

Pac3y · 26 Nov 2014 at 10:41

Yeah i had that check once, wouldn't worry it still went through. I have a watch repair shops address lmao.

glenimp617 · 26 Nov 2014 at 10:42

oh, I heard you can just use you regular address and just change the state and zip code. I'll find out soon lol

Mr Jones · 26 Nov 2014 at 10:46

Let me get this right, if I buy say the $50 Xbox Gift Card from e.g offgamers.com for around £30, I then change my Xbox One to US Region, I can apply the gift codes and buy from the Black Friday deals?

Yes that's right I got 60 dollars on mine but does anyone know what time it's likely to start as i have to go work at midday

yes!

and I can confirm that amazon.com works

just login with your usual amazon account on amazon.COM

buy the $50 gift card, and where it says billing address, put delaware in the state and the zip code

I also assume that you can redeem the code and buy the games from xbox.com/en_us thus not having to mess about changing your console settings

If you also team up with a friend who has an xbox one, you can go 50/50 on the price

glenimp617 · 26 Nov 2014 at 10:56

Yep, confirmed you can redeem from xbox.com/en_us

Right I'm going to buy the code now, just one question, how do you change your region without going into your Xbox?

glenimp617 · 26 Nov 2014 at 11:02

go to xbox.com/en_us on your browser and just login with your gamertag

The only reason why people are changing their consoles is to access the US store, but you can redeem codes and buy games from the web site instead. Once you buy a game, it's linked to your gamertag and it doesn't matter then what region your console is on. You can still download the game.

Can a mod please change the thread title to XBOX ONE BLACK FRIDAY $14.99 Games!

Thanks very much

Mr Jones · 26 Nov 2014 at 11:06

Holy bananas!

I just changed the region and now all my store prices on the website are USD.
Brilliant, Diablo 3 RoS here I come! (£22.71 if you get just the $25 + $10, cheaper if you get the $50 code but useful if you only want one game)

From what I saw on the MS site, it was just COD Ghosts that was $14.99, not all games will be that price?

There's supposed to be a few, but even if not, good discounts to be had

it says starting from....so yeah, not all will be $14.99. If they don't add any more and it's just the ones listed, it's still a good offer
