Internationalization problem: where I bought the xbox and where I buy the games

OnboardOhio6115 · Aug 10, 2018

I have bought an xbox one in the Philippines. I live in the PH but I'm a Belgian.

My bank account is in Belgium. I don't have a bank account in the Philippines. My question: what happens when I buy games? I have to pay in Euros, what I don't like (same price as in us$), and will the game be ready for the Asian market?

How does the bank address link to the game you buy? Can I just change the country and buy for the Asian market?

:)

Offline Arcade Games

There is a problem about xbla games where you buy it and you go offline and it becomes the trial version. This is annoying because i bought sonic adventure 2 and it was fun but the offline problem happened so i just had to play the trial. When will xbox
sort out this problem???

Purchase and play: Xbox One Locales FAQ

What happens if my billing address doesn't match my console's locale?

In that case, you will not be able to purchase content. You must have a valid billing address and payment option that matches your console locale.

For example, if you are in France and set your console location to France, you will see French Store information. However, if your billing address is in Germany, you will not be able to purchase content because you must have a valid payment option connected
to a French billing address.

If I purchase a game in one country or region, can I play it in another country or region?

Yes. There is no playback restriction on games purchased and downloaded.

For example, if you purchase and download a game in one country and then move to another country where the game isn’t available, you can still play the game that you downloaded. However, you would not be able to redownload the game you purchased, as it would
not be available for you to download in the Store.

You can get a Dazzle capture card from most PC World shops. And generally capture cards are simple to set up: all you have tou do is attach cables to you TV/Xbox in the same way the TV and Xbox are connected.

Hello Psamito,

From our FAQ:

When will my MyVIP Rewards Credits be deposited into my Microsoft account?

The total Rewards earned will be calculated at the end of each month. Typically you'll receive your MyVIP earnings in your account by the 15th of the following month, though this is subject to the program's current deposit
terms. Be sure to keep an eye on MyStatement on the
MyRewards page to track your progress and watch your Rewards Credits total grow!

We have not yet calculated the month's MyVIP, so it is too early to see the Credits pending.

There are currently no offers Destiny is eligible for. If you are eligible for VIP rebates, it would count towards your rebate which is calculated after the end of the month and given by the 15th of the next month.

I'm not sure. I bought the game on Amazon.com, where I usually buy my games. I haven't had any problems with any other DLC that came with games I bought from the website, but I don't recall any certificate of authenticity sticker on the copy of Ghosts
I received.
