You bought the console and you cannot afford €25 more, thats what, about £19??

I'm sure you can not buy a pizza or have a few less pints one month...

Buy Xbox gift cards on Amazon.com

Wonder how long that will work for?

They need to unify the prices to stop people doing this, as there will always be a way even if it's troublesome.

Not really possible with varying taxes

 

[Zbornak]

Oh for God sake I just bought one.

 

[jamesy505]

How do I do that?

I've thought about doing a factory reset but don't want to have to DL everything again.

Just press the on buton on the Xbox One for about 10 seconds. Or unplug

It tends to fix every Xbox One issue

Good luck stopping it with region free accounts and games

I'm not even talking about the tax differences here. The Titanfall deals being so different across regions was unfair.

Yeah I had tried that, even unplugged it for half hour. If it happens on the next update I will try a factory reset, failing that I'll get in touch with where I brought it from.

Thanks though.

That sucks cant really afford the price they charge in Ireland for games. Its nearly €25 difference. Guess I am waiting until the are reduced second hand or come free in store.

find someone to game share with and every digital game will be half price.

Buy Xbox gift cards on Amazon.com

I bought $150 on Amazon.com for Far Cry Gold edition and GTA V.

Came out at about £94.

Buying on the UK store would have been £125 (FC4 £70 and GTA V £55) so would have been £125.

Nice £31 saving

They locked down the US store last week.

What do you mean locked down the US store?

Stopped people from outside the US buying from that store?

It seems that way, my CC wont be accepted and I bought Halo just last week. Tried to buy FC4 and it wouldnt work.

Only slight positive is maybe it is due to the purchasing content issue on Xbox Live just now.

 

[metamorphpwner]

roughly how long do the batteries last in the controller? like the duracels that came with it.
getting play and charge kit(s) but need small things like that on xmas list.

So despite the issues with buying using a CC, you can still add credit via gift cards and buy from the US store?

 

[Kreeeee]

Well they can never stop that as long as Amazon allow you to buy vouchers.

There will always be international sales for the vouchers, and combined with proxies, MS can't really tell what you're doing.

Yes. Buy $ cards from Amazon.Change your region to US and redeem code.

Buy game

 

[Mull3t]

So buying direct on your card from US store doesn't work anymore?
