Just a heads up to everyone there is a good chance that your router supports vpns so you can skip the computer part entirely and temporarily use your router to do all the vpn legwork. I personally use my old ddwrt router with ibvpn whenever I need to make an Argentina purchase. Just connect to the different WiFi network, switch my region and I am good to go.

DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT PURCHASE GAMES THAT ARE REGION-LOCKED


Aren't Xbox One Games Region free?


Edit:
Just checked and the Xbox One is definitely region free. Always thought it was but with Microsoft you can never be too sure if they'll change that policy, especially now Xbox One is so popular. Doing it for cheaper games is absolutely no different to doing it for cheaper vBucks. Though I would be wary if the games you decide to buy are in English (or support English at least), unless of course you're from Argentina then you're laughing ;)


Yes, most of them some are Region Locked, eg games that are not in your country, such as Chinese Games there's a few games that are locked to a region those you can purchase but you risk a ban due to the fact it's against Terms Of Service, which is why I stated to just avoid them

If you can purchase it in your store < eg your default location > the you can purchase it in another region.


< If it's not in your region aka your default location.. and it's on another region, that will breach TOS. >
Does this mean if i use this method to purchase a game using argentina and my game will be in spanish ?

No, the game will be in English as long as it's a Region Free game which all games on xbox one are Region free the game will be in english afterwards. Unless stated above the game is not in your region it would be another language and would cause a possible ban.

but if you purchase any game that's purchasable in your region, the game will be in english!

Curious about pre-ordering games, if I pre-order black ops 4 in the Turkish region can I download it any time in the UK if I delete it, and will I have access to the game at our release time in the UK.

If I were to use that website you provided to show game prices as you can be sent to the microsoft store to purchase, could I avoid the VPN on Xbox and use a VPN on my PC and purchase off the website after switching region on my account? Or would I just have to use my Xbox?

I'm having trouble with the payment setup. Its asking for address, city, state, and postal code.
I tried the hotel method, but don't know how to read the address but I put stuff in and it failed to complete transaction.
I tried using my address but the postal code says invalid format.
