I now have a USD and a GBP account but it wont allow me to use the GBP one. Defaults to USD. At the time of purchase i was logged into my account in uk using uk only account and purchasing GBP Credit. It told me when trying to redeem the code i was set
to the wrong region. I am new to xbox live and followed instructions to amend region to redeem the code .

you are talking about wages and exchange rates.. I am referring to value

the Xbox was touted as being $499 USD... ok we get that... so in reality, should ANYONE who wants to purchase said console pay $499 USD.. ?? somehow in the UK and other places (AUS), they almost pay double.... this has NOTHING to do with import taxes or
Tarrifs.. so saying someone outside a US currency market paying 1.5X more is not the right answer...

You say you are from Canada.... so I am assuming you paid only $450 USD for the console? Take this into consideration....Since the Canadian $ is 90 cents on the dollar.. you are basically saying that just because I am using USD... if I come into you country...
and want to purchase a house listed at 100,000 Canadian Dollars... being it is USD I am using, I only get to pay 90,000 Canadian?

Anyways.. XBOX ONE sells for $499, which should be £297.. add in some of the taxes ETC, sure it will go up... BUT not as much as it was selling for...
