360 backwards compatible titles showing wrong currency in store

I'm in Australia. Xbox One titles in the store are showing in Australian dollars. 360 titles when I click "show price" are in British pounds.

I have my region set to Australia. My language is set to English - UK (so that I can use Cortana, which isn't supported with English - Australia)

Bring Kinect hand gesture back to Xbox One.

I rarely used it when it was around. Cortana xbox 1 is also not available in australia nor new zealand unless you change your local to US. Ive tried cortana and it is horrible. Microsoft is the biggest software company in the world yet google now and siri
on phones are far more superior digital personal assistants. Cortana is like speaking to someone at xbox support reading off a script. Cortana will get better... eventually.

It is unbelievable that we have been waiting so long for Cortana support to come to Australia and it just hasn't.

In the meantime - Microsoft have gradually removed the functionality of the "Xbox Select" command that used to work so beautifully.

They did this with the advice to start using Cortana ..but didn't roll out Cortana to Australia.

That's just poor support from Microsoft.

I've come to expect this from Microsoft these days. They really just don't care about their customers anymore. Hard to recommend buying their console to others.

I also live in Australia and have been waiting for Cortana to be availiable in Australia, but some how I don't think we will get it, especially now that they've

added support for Alexa So I assume we will get Alexa support instead of Cortana.

Hi Diego,

First - thank you for the second part of your post that shows the link to Feature Availability for the Xbox One in Australia. Clearly, Cortana is not available for those in Australia. This is something that has taken ages to get a response on - so thank
you.

Second - Throughout this whole thing I mentioned that I wasn't able to enable Cortana at all. That was the problem.

So I find you posting about "revert back to Xbox Commands using Kinect" completely inappropriate.

The issue here is that Microsoft has decided to completely water down the Xbox Commands using Kinect. Commands have been completely removed.

Why? Because Microsoft said to use Cortana instead. Guess what - I can't!

Microsoft has ruined my Xbox One experience and left me with an inferior product to the one I originally bought by removing Xbox Commands for the Kinect and not enabling Cortana on the Xbox One for my region
(Australia). Utterly pathetic from a company that markets itself on its user experience.

I am not happy.
