Hi there,

I was a gamer when the original version of ELITE was available on my commodore 64 waaaay back in the day.

I now see that ELITE Dangerous is now available on the Xbox one.

my question is this:- if I buy a game from store.xbox.com, will it work on my Australian XBOX one?

Cheers

If I buy a game from the UK will it work in US Xbox one ?

All Xbox One games and all Xbox One consoles are region-free (except for China).

So yes, in your case, an Xbox One game sold in the UK can work in your US Xbox One.

I would imagine JC3 Gold Edition is just the regular base game on a disc, bundled with DLC vouchers in the case.

There are versions of a game that are not avalabe in the United States. Like Just Cause 3 Gold Edition. If the game is from the UK would I be able to download the content and play the game in the United States?

US games used to work if you bought them digitally. I think it's restricted now regarding what regions you can buy from.

Games from the UK will definitely work here in Australia. Quite often a lot of games from overseas such as Asia etc will also work but you just need to check to see if they are region locked. Most overseas web sites that sell to Australia will tell you
if the games will work here or not.

With Microsoft Points only Aussie points will work here. But you can buy Xbox Live memberships from overseas they definitely work and are generally way cheaper than buying them here.

Hey PurpleCorn!

Xbox one games are not region locked so all xbox one games will work on any console. The Xbox One's Bluray/DVD player is region locked though. Good news for you, the UK and Australia share the same region codes for Bluray's and DVD's so anything you buy
from the UK or Australia will work on a console purchased in either country so it's up to you where you want to buy it from!

Hope this helps!

You would have to buy him a gift card from australia

From a third party website that is trusted there are a few

Giftcards are region locked this includes one's gifted from xbox

Even if you gift the.membership you will have to find a third party etailer in Australia or find a third party site with Australia codes

Best bet Amazon just make sure ita digital Australian code

It's not rocket science. Buy from an Authorized Retailer which Microsoft says. In New Zealand and Australia, they include JB Hi Fi, DSE, etc. Microsoft usually has a list of authorized retailers on their site. Preferably from an authorized retail shop. The
only place which I would fully trust to buy an Xbox console from, is from this site, their official Xbox site.
