    Account region issue

    I just got a used XBOX 360.
    I live in Cyprus, where XBOX Live is not supported, so i decided to choose UK as my country (did the same with PSN). I was planning on topping up my account with pre-paid cards.
    I managed signing up for XBOX Live trial and i also purchased 4 codes for Gears of War games from ebay. I managed redeeming the first one (using a VPN on my PC) and initiated the download on my console, i left it downloading and went to sleep.

    Today, i couldnt find the game in my games list. I went through the purchase history, the game was there, but the Play option just redirected me to the "My games" section. So, i decided to download it again, assuming download was interrupted somehow. And around 80% download stopped and i didnt see any error message (i might have missed it). But after some google search, i found out it has something to do with the region (probably my actual IP is d

    So, anyone has any ideas how to resolve this mess?
    thanks

    Region issues

    Billing info has to match the region of the account. There is no way to put in NZ card info on a US account so you will have to start a new account to use your credit cards.

    Region issues

    in order to get region locked games your account region, console region, and physical region have to match. being that you got a France 360 but have a Brazil account and are in Brazil you will have issues downloading ANY region locked content sorry.

    The 3 month wait no longer applies. That was part of an older system.

    region issue

    Hey there,

    When you sign onto your Xbox Live account, you will be connected to your local server. In terms of the games, I do believe you connect to people within different servers that are around the world. This means, I am correct, you will always be playing with
    different people from different countries.

    On Black Ops 3, I am unaware of any option which allows you to just connect with people from your country, and maybe your always been matched with people from different countries that are online and are looking for other people to join their public lobbies.
    As I understand it, the system matches you up the best it can in lobbies that you have good connection to.

    Although, I could be wrong and I could have missed something. If you are wanting to play with people from your region, why not post in the discussion forums in your region, asking if some of the community here would play with you - that are from your region?

    I hope this has helped in some way, and only go by my knowledge and the support articles
