    So I go to the settings and nothing there to change this, OK then I probably set US by error when I registered the Microsoft account but no it is set to my home country everywhere I checked, all the addresses in billing are also set to my actual address.

    I tried settings new addesses/billing addresses and its still stuck and locked to US

    What am I suppose to do? Is there any way to contact their support? it lead me here when I tried

    :)

    Hi Dimmz! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    The app region is set according to your PC region/location, you could try instead using the site to get the subscription here

    https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/xbox-gam...

    At the bottom of the site you can select the proper region

    Xbox launch countries reduced from 24 to 13

    Addional info please read the following
    www.vg247.com/.../xbox-one-games-are-not-region-locked-microsoft-clarifies-import-stance
    my conclusios:

    -you cannot link the xbox one to your live gamertag to use the marketplace, when this is linked to a billing address of an unsupported region. Strangely microsoft has detatched the currency, not the billing address. So you can pay in euros and set the locale
    to a supported country, but you cannot use the billing connected to your live account...??

    -you can only buy games online or shops of supported countries, sounds like a kind of region locking...nice for all those shops in unsupported countries

    -you can only use currency of a supported countries

    -in some cases (apps etc) your ip address will be used, possibly causing blocking, when you are in an unsupported country

    - transaction in the marketplace require a Live account, and again a problem when this is attached to a billing address

    -support is all based on the country of your oive account, so forget support in an unsupported country...

    -video and music cannot be bought by credit card that is billed in an unsupported country

    -smart glass uses the location set in the device where it is installed, NICE..no smart glass support in unsupported countries!

    Microsoft, why the hell did you block locale based payment like a credit card?? How do you advise users outside supported countries to use their gamertag, when it is connected to a live account and so to a billing address?? What about payment like pay pal?
    Sounds all extremely stupid and big brother like to me..
