    Store showing geo-blocked content


    Ever since the new Store was launched, it has shown and promoted categories of content which are not available in my country (Czech Republic). This includes movies and tv shows (Microsoft's service for distributing them doesn't support the country) and unavailable media apps (like Hulu etc.). After clicking on them, it shows an error message.

    Though this isn't the biggest issue out there, I think it would be better if all the content shown in the Store was accessible.

    I have Gold membership and Gold April offer should include game TC's GRAW2 , however on Slovak market this game is not included and Xbox live is asking me for 9,99 EUR to purchase

    Absolutelly not. Are you aware what Geoblocking means?

    Geobloking is EU legislation which forces any company selling digitalin all EU countries under same conditions.

    Apps, music, movies and so on.

    From 3rd December 2018 is this legislation in place.

    I will escallate this to Consumer Protection Agentúry in Slovakia and in EU

    Regulation (EU) 2018/302 addresses unjustified on line sales discrimination based on customers' nationality, place of residence or place of establishment within the internal market. The ban on geo-blocking is an important element of
    the
    digital single market strategy    .

    The Regulation enters into force on 22 March 2018 in all EU Member States and will apply from 3 December 2018 to allow in particular small traders to adapt.

    Unsupported country + No official store in Thailand. What should I do?

    Being in an unsupported country and setting your entire profile to that of a location in another country would be a violation of the TOS as you are trying to circumnavigate a Geo-block.

    Beyond that, no clue...the Singapore Store is your closest store but, far as I know, you'd need a Singapore address to download anything so you'd be violating the TOS again.

    Buying Infinity war in Europe

    I suggest you to not switch your account region for this. Some content is not available in geo regions for copyright purposes

    GeoRestriction code redemption problem

    No, overseas. But everyone here buys US retailer sold codes and it works fine, the first time I renewed the Xbox live subscription it worked , downloaded fifa21 as well, all through the US store, but now for some reason it keeps showing that geo error

    Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 DLC Series X

    I've tried all of this, and yes I definitely purchased the season pass, it does show in my order history. Upon going to the in-game store all of the packs say "Cost: Free" and then when I attempt to purchase these it says "premium content blocked." It let's me install the season pass itself but none of the content that its supposed to actually unlock
