    Buying a code in US to play in UK


    I'm just being really paranoid but I wanna be sure, if I purchase a game code while in the states, will I be able to activate it in the UK? It should be the same right? Like if I buy from Amazon US.

    XBOX Live - Changing region

    your account region doesn't change with redemption codes

    are you buying the right codes?

    xbox gift cards are region locked meaning if you buy us gift codes they only work on us accounts

    if you have a Germany account region but buying us or uk codes that wont work iut will cause a us or uk billing account

    you have to buy currency cards based on your account region and actual region

    so if you are buying us currency cards but have Germany billing address you are causing a split billing where the us currency or foreign currency wont work on your local account

    Buying a code in US to play in UK

    It depends on the game. If it's a One game it should work, but 360 games can be region locked. It's usually best to purchase codes in your own region just in case.

    Hi!

    Games must be always purchased for own area. If there are region locked games, you risk to purchase the game that will not work on your console.

    US to UK move...which power supply?

    If you buy UK Games they won't work in your US Console. Our games uses PAL on our PAL Consoles. If you want to play Uk Games then you will have to buy a Xbox 360 in the UK.
