Bought games works through different Live Account regions?

Hey there!

I have a PAL - UK Xbox 360, but use most NTSC games. Never had any kind of problemwith region because usually I do some research before purchasing.

So, them EA Sport World Cup 2014 was out and I bought the digital game. And it is region locked (use a Brasil Live account). Weirdly enough, EA allowed me to buy it even thought it was region locked (tried to buy Zone of Enders once and I was not allowed
and not charged because it wouldn't work on my Xbox region).

So I thought: HEY! If I change my account to a UK one, I will be able to buy and play it. Right? Well, seems not.

As I transferred to UK account, World Cup appears as already bought, even thought it was bought on BR Marketplace. And every time I try to download it, it comes broken and NEVER install, it fully downloads the 5.5 GB, but will appear as "unknown" games on
my device.

I made sure to verify if it was not a problem with my internet, but I was able to download the free games for gold Street Fighter IV without any issues.

Do any one knows any way to get that working? Because I'm stuck: downloaded game won't work AND it is not giving me an option to buy it on UK Marketplace......

:)

you have to purchase it through bungie.net and your account had to have bought dark below and house of wolves, if a different account bought either, it won't work. Stupid I know

 

Xbox Games With Windows 10 Keeps Loading Through The Wrong Account

I logged into the Store with my Xbox Live details and every time I load a game in my PC that works through Xbox Live the games keep on loading through a different account that I don't use anymore. When this happens, when I unlock any achievements they don't
go on to my Xbox Live account that I use because my Xbox Live game in my PC load under a different account. How can I log out of the old account that I don't use so I can log into the games with my account I use for Xbox Live?

 

Sorry but some games are region locked and not available in other countries. This would be the reason that the game you purchased is not available to play.

 

Hi Onyx, thanks for the suggestion!

No, definetively, this I do understand. However, the problems is: I bought the game on BR Xbox Live (similar to US, NTSC games) and it's not working on my UK Xbox. So I changed my Live account from BR to UK through the account management. Now, I'm acessing
the UK Live Store, I see World Cup 2014 there, but no option to buy it, only to download, which I assume that's because I bought the game on BR Live. But everytime I download it from the UK LIVE on my UK XBOX, it fully downloads the 5.5 GB of the game, but
it doesn't get installed and I get unable to play (on the storage device options, it shows the name of the game, but instead of the icon, it shows an yellow exclamation mark).

To summarize, where I'm stuck is: I'm now on UK Live, with a gold account, tries to download the PAL version of the World Cup game on my PAL Xbox 360, but it won't work. And it doesn't give me an option to buy the game as well
