    Incorrect region while traveling, XBOX APP PC [​IMG]


    Hi! My account is set in Argentina (I'm originally from there, never switched regions) but during my last trip I tried to log in and buy a game and I receive this error message. My Microsoft Account says Country or region Argentina. I changed the time and location in my laptop. I even have a billing card issued in Argentina associated as the only payment method but still getting this problem.

    :)

    Incorrect region while traveling, XBOX APP PC

    Hello Juan Covello,



    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    Due to differences in market pricing strategies in different regions, game prices may vary from region to region based on local economic conditions, exchange rates, and regional policies. Although your Microsoft account is displayed with the country or region set to Argentina, in practice, the Argentina region has unique rules and restrictions. Specifically, users in Argentina will generally only be able to sign in and purchase games from the local Xbox Store in Argentina.



    This is because the Argentine market is subject to specific tax policies and exchange rate fluctuations, which tend to make game prices in Argentina different from other regions. To ensure fair pricing and compliance with local laws, Microsoft restricts purchases and use of the Services to the region in which the user is registered based on the region information in the account. As a result, you may not be able to purchase Argentine-priced games from non-Argentine stores even if you have another country or region set up in your Microsoft account.



    This regional restriction is intended to avoid cross-region purchases and arbitrage, while protecting consumers and complying with the legal requirements of each country. If you have a need to purchase games from other regions, you may want to consider adjusting your account region or using a payment method that meets the standards of that region.



    Please feel free contact me if you need more help.



    Best regards

    Xbox Video use outside home country

    Hey there Sarge. Man, sorry to hear you've been having issues while traveling. All accounts need to have a region specified, as much content (such as those movies) are region-specific. However, if it was just for renting, and you do travel often, you could
    make a separate account for Canada, and use it to watch with.

    NFL App - Directv account login

    Hey there BeekerCD!

    Where are you currently traveling? The NFL app is not supported in some regions, so this could be why you are missing certain features of the app.

    Unable to download Halo 3 the free download for the month.

    It's not really for people who want to travel with their console, it's for people are moving permanently to another region. if you're just traveling you're not supposed to change regions.

    Connecting from a hotel

    this can be a bit trickey as most hotels have a webpage where you need to fill in your userid and password. If you have a laptop with you - you can use this trick:

    www.wikihow.com/Connect-to-Xbox-Live-Through-a-Wireless-PC

    there are also videos on youtube to show you how to do.

    If you are travelling a lot with your Xbox you should consider to get a travel router to connect your Xbox to the hotel wifi (helped me a lot when while travelling)
