    Buying a game from another region and made up purchase address


    Hello Xbox team

    I originally from Jordan but I am working at Saudi Arabia temporarily.

    That’s my first time using Xbox and I set up my 10 years Microsoft account to use it at my first new Xbox series x.

    I set my Xbox location at United States since Jordan is not supported region and bought a game using Gift Card 50$. At the purchase with this gift card they asked me for address and I provided a fake address at US.

    Then I was scared when I knew that this is illegal to provide wrong information about your “physical location” and I switch my Xbox location to Saudi Arabia where I work temporarily.

    The problem is that the game I bought is not available at Saudi store and I am afraid that this could cause my account to get permanently banned.

    I want to buy games in future on this same account I trust.

    What are the consequences now ? Will my account get suspended or permanently banned ? and if there is anyway they just take the game from my account without any refund to avoid the ban since it will be much better ?

    :)

    Most likely you won't be banned unless you continue to try to do the same thing in the future, but since you are in an area where the game is not available, if you uninstall the game or switch consoles, you most likely will not be able to redownload it since it was purchased outside of your region.

    thanks sir for your quick response !

    No I will never do it again. That my first time I am using xbox and I am planning to be legal to the very end.

    I already bought the game on CD from a known store in Saudi Arabia.

    But when I download the game from the CD and remove it the digital license is still working and you can play the game without CD.

    That’s why I am afraid that I can get banned.

    I already uninstalled the game when I read about Xbox location rules and provided info.

    if I change my xbox location and buy?

    once a region is set you cannot change the region of your account

    however you can create another account in another region and purchase the ms points with prepaid cards in the correct region you will have to buy from an etailer the correct region

    it is always best to buy ms points from your actual region

    ms points are region locked

    if the content is region locked usually games that are baned or restricted in australia and germany are and would prevent you from buying it regardless

    what do i do if my xbox need to get fixed but theres no Microsoft's Repair Centers in my country?

    If you bought it from another. Country via Amazon or online you need to return it to the region of purchase and have a return address in that region

    This is why you don't buy out of region very few manufacturers do international warranty and it wouldnt be most electronics it have to be portable

    Unlocked phones but you have to wait for parts

    It wouldn't matter if you had a repair center or not

    You have to return it to the country it was purchased in

    Imported products don't count you have to address it with the store
