    I cannot buy games in the Xbox Store


    When I try to buy games in the Microsoft Store I'm receiving the following message:

    Code:
    Server Error in '/' Application.
    
    Runtime Error
    
    Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running
     on the local server machine. 
    
    Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag
     should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
    
    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
    
    <configuration>
    
        <system.web>
    
            <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    
        </system.web>
    
    </configuration>
    
    Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
    
    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
    
    <configuration>
    
        <system.web>
    
            <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    
        </system.web>
    
    </configuration>
    I tried buying Conker and Red Dead Redemption unsuccessfully.

    Hi there,

    purchasing errors can be caused by issues on the account itself. Be sure to check if your billing information is correct at
    http://account.microsoft.com and also check

    http://account.microsoft.com/services
    for any outstanding amount issues, these need to be sorted prior to being able to purchase content.

    After that try to purchase the content on both xbox console and via xbox.com

    Also check that the Xbox Live account , the console and your location all match region wise, using different regions for any of them cause issues too.

    I also advise to try this again via a different browser but also to wait a couple of hours.

    If you can't find anything wrong and it is still not working after 12 hours, best thing to do is to contact official Xbox Support via Phone or Microsoft Support Chat at
    Contact Us | Xbox Support they can do a more in-depth look into this issue.

    Hi,

    I think it's failing when trying to buy Xbox 360, I think I can buy Xbox One games without any problem.

    How can I check the information for Xbox 360?

    Hello Xgoan!

    Thank you very much for bringing this issue to our attention. This article,
    How To Change Your Microsoft Account Region
    , will provide you with the steps to update your account information. If you are attempting to purchase those games with an Xbox Gift Card, you must complete the purchase through the Xbox 360 console. Once the
    region is changed on your Microsoft account and console settings, you should be able to complete the purchases. Be sure to let us know the results!

    But I don't have a xbox 360. I'm trying to buy in the xbox one or the microsoft store.

    Today I bought a dlc for a xbox one without any problem. It only happens with games with retro compatible games.

  10. Hi Xgoan,

    We just announced an outage for Purchase and Content usage. Please check our
    Xbox Live Status
    .

    As for the Xbox 360 Backward Compatible Games, if the purchase still does not go through after the service is up and running, please visit:

    Xbox One backward compatibility FAQ
    . This link talks about everything having to do with Backward Compatible Games including troubleshooting.

    Let me know if this helps I cannot buy games in the Xbox Store :)

    Hi Jasmine,

    Thank you for the answer. BTW this is not related to the outage. It could be related to a lack of payment option in my 360 account. But I cannot do it because I don't have a Xbox 360.

    Is there a way to access the Xbox 360 menu from Xbox One?

    Hi Xgoan,

    There are two main reasons to why there may be difficulties purchasing Xbox 360 Backwards compatible content for your Xbox One.

    1) If you're trying to purchase the content with your Microsoft Account Credit it would only allow you to do so from an Xbox 360.

    2) If the account is a 'Child' account it would also block certain 360 content purchases to process out.

    Hi Leslie,

    Your message does not help me a lot.

    I attach a screenshot. This window appears after pressing the buy button.
