  1. Buying XBOX 360 game via XBOX store fails due to wrong location setting


    Hi,

    I have an XBOX One and I'm trying to buy an XBOX 360 game (Monkey Island 2: SE)
    via the XBOX store, but it fails due to a wrong location setting. At the moment when I click in this page on the "Spiel kaufen" (purchase game) button the language switches to Czech and as far I understand the purchase is not possible because there are no
    payment methods for the Czech Republic registered in my account.

    When I set up my XBox One and the Microsoft account for the first time a wrong language was selected (Czech). I afterwards changed the language in the XBox One Settings -> System -> Language and Location. The new settings are:

    System Language: English

    System Language Region: English (United States)

    System Location: Germany

    Then I restarted the XBox One.

    The new language settings were accepted, but not in all of the XBox Store. Purchasing XBox One games (like Thimbleweed Park) works, however when I try to purchase XBox 360 games (e.g. Monkey Island 2 SE) I can't pay because it switches back to Czech and
    there is no payment method registered that works with the Czech Republic.

    I logged in into my Microsoft account via a browser and found that the location was still wrong under
    https://account.microsoft.com/profile/ -> Edit your personal info. I changed the location to Germany here too, but this didn't fix the problem.

    Basically the language/location is correct until the XBox Store navigates me to the live.xbox.com domain. E.g.

    http://live.xbox.com/Account/BillingAccountInformation
    (which is mentioned on

    https://forums.xbox.com/de-DE/thread/409e9b5a-c7f5-450a-af6f-2b807c75cdff?page=1
    ) redirects me to
    Přihlaste se k účtu Microsoft and is in Czech. I noticed that in the footer of the page I'm supposed to be able to change the language by clicking on
    'Čeština (Česká republika)‎' link next to the world icon. However after selecting a different language/location (German/Germany) it still brings me back to the Czech page (Přihlaste se k účtu Microsoft).
    Manually editing the URL to
    https://live.xbox.com/de-DE/account/billingaccountinformation
    also doesn't work and brings me again back to the Czech page.

    Please let me know how where else I must change the location so that I can buy XBOX 360 games.

    Thanks and best regards!

    :)

    Can't download 360 games on my One account

    It's not anything that would have been wrong setting up his account, but due to child restrictions, he would need to download the games via a 360 console.

  5. Thank you very much for your fast answer. This indeed fixed the problem.

    I think I was on that page before but didn't continue since it was in Czech and I don't understand Czech. But finding the right buttons to click was not that difficult.

    Thanks again!

    Xbox 360 Market place is broken, all purchases stay "processing" indefinitely

    I have the same problem trying to buy Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles from the xbox marketplace.

    Since they are only buyable via an 360 or the website and i only got an xbox one the "Buy on 360" method is not an option.

    I know that these games are playable on the xbox one once bought via the store or an 360.

    Locations, addresses, etc. are checked and totally okay. Maybe there is some kind of workaround?

    Underaged for downloading free xbox 360 games?!?

    The 360 store and the One store are set up differently. Due to restrictions on child accounts for the 360 store that can't be adjusted on the One, you can't download backwards compatible games. You can get them through a 360 console.
    Can i then buy the 360 disc for the game and then put it in my xbox one and it will work?
