Redeeming codes for old Gears games

Just last night I received two messages from Xbox Live to my account with free codes to redeem for Gears of War 1, 2, 3 and Judgment because I purchased Gears 4. Have only been able to redeem the two for 2 and judgment, with the other two giving me an error
message, something to do with language or region. How do I fix this so I can download Gears 1 and 3?

Redeeming codes for old Gears games

Those 2 games are region locked. So in order to download them your account region has to match your physical location and you have to live in a region where the games are available.

 

Same issue here: Error message when i try to activate Gears of War 1 and 3

 

Both of those games are region locked. In order to download them your account region has to match your physical location and you have to live in a region where the games are available.

 

you can't choose the us if you don't actually live there etc

You must use the region migration tool on the website under my account and change my region (not the locale of the website )

Its also a 3month wait till your next move it's best to use your actual region

If you don't live in an xbox live region no new code will work

 

All sorted, thanks for help. Account had for some reason decided it was in the US when I set it up!
