XBL-AB wrote Purchase and content seems to affect certain people. I'm currently hit by it and waiting for a solution. Was working perfectly fine two days ago and now its hitting me pretty rough.

Apparently it's been down for several weeks.
No idea why

Yep, I'm assuming this is why i'm getting an error when I try to buy something using this. Trying to preorder some games but the store is down

Went through did all of this correct, even had a gift card from walmart and nothing would work. Eventually I went to support and they told me to buy an xbox card from Argentina to do so..

I haven't had any problems, but some people will.

Purchase and Content Usage is currently having issues.

Don't see why this would be needed, I believe the reason it's not working for me and other is because of the damn xbox servers

I will be editing this topic more soon, making it cleaner including game deals and much more!
BEFORE YOU DO THIS READ EVERYTHING IN PART 1 TO REASSURE YOU DO NOT BREAK TOS



NOTES:
You may ask for help below, but you may not ask for anyone to perform the method on your account!


DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT PURCHASE GAMES THAT ARE REGION-LOCKED < This means a game that you cannot access in your own region, doing this will breach ToS >

This will work for all purchases and in some cases offer you up to 70% off or even more depending if the game is on sale or not!

(Requires VPN + XBOX > Paypal Direct Debit Cards, Visa Direct Debit, MasterCards. These are the only tested methods, cannot confirm others will work.


ALTERNATIVES FOR UK USERS]:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] - This is a prepaid card that can be topped up instantly it will require a few verification things to make sure you are who you say you are!

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]



ALTERNATIVES FOR UNITED STATES USERS:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You can use a prepaid Visa from Walmart as confirmed by another user!


Checking Game Prices And How Much You're Saving!
Found a game you're interested in, well hold on right there! Go to [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and find the Item you wish to purchase. We will do the game Crew 2 Gold Edition for example ( This Game Cost £74.99, $98.21 With the Method it works out: £35.93 or $47.05 > in order to prevent breaking the xbox ToS, you can only purchase a game or item that is also available in your region. What this means is that the game you are purchasing must be available for you to buy on your default location without a VPN!


Step 1: What we will have to do is go onto xbox and go to settings, and change your Region to ARGENTINA - To Change Your Location Read Below!

Changing Location
Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
Select Settings.
Select System.
Select Language & location.
Select your new location from the list( ARGENTINA ), and then select Restart now.)


Step 2: Once we have done this we will also need a Laptop/PC with WIFI
We will want to get a Free Trial or if you have a Existing VPN that will work

VPNs that offer Trials
https://www.ibvpn.com/ (They offer a 24 Hour Trial)

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (They offer a 3 day Trial) - Mobile Number Required to verify account.)

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] 30 day membership. You pay the $12.95 to start the membership and you get a 30 day money back guarantee which means on Day 29 or so you can contact them and get your money back. NOTE: If you're having issues getting your console to connect, go to Settings and change your VPN to " UDP "

We are going to want to setup and run that on the laptop (Connect to the ARGENTINA or your country of purchase)



Step 3: Download your VPN, once it's connected and you find the server you're looking for, for this it will need to be " ARGENTINA "

- Once connected, you will need to put a Ethernet from your Laptop/PC to your Xbox

- Now go to Network and Sharing Center, - This can be located at the bottom right of your screen ( your wireless connection, right click it open Network and Sharing Center)

- Select Change Adapter Settings, find the VPN adapter that you've just downloaded and right click, hit properties, then share that connection with an Ethernet that is being used from Laptop > Xbox One

- From Here, you can connect to xbox live and carry on with the steps below, filling out account information with details, I personally used Hotel Details!

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


IMPORTANT INFORMATION
NOTE: If your unable to connect to xbox live, you may be running a VPN that doesn't automatically enable StealthVPN, find that option and enable it.
NOTE: If you dont have a WIFI card built in you can do it with a wired connection : [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
NOTE: This method is 100% not against ToS and I have confirmed this with Xbox Support, the only rules is that you are purchasing something that is also available in your region and purchasing with a legitment payment method.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Step 4: Once you're on XBOX you will want to go to the settings and connect if you have not already done so from here go to the store to purchase your Game, DLC or Micro-Transaction enter your CC information, but for the address you will have to find a local address
for example I use a Hotel in ARGENTINA, simply Google " Hotels in Argentina " we use Argentina Hotels because we're using the Argentina Method / Region on the console.

Is your card being declined or cannot you complete the purchase of the item you are trying to buy then contact your bank to make sure they're not blocking your payment due to the address you have given.




If you do not want to use a hotel address, which I highly recommend you do, then you can simply generate a random address below using this link provided.
Although recommended you use random bhotel addresses as these are PUBLIC!

Generate an Address: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


TOS RELATED STUFF:
I contacted Xbox Support, I spoke to them about making purchases within different locations, they claimed that items are region free and that you can do this as long as you can purchase the item inside your Region for example you cannot buy Chinese games this will break Terms of Service.

- You can use a VPN.
- You can purchase no matter how much cheaper it is.
- I have screenshots to prove it.
-You must use a legit payment option, eg your own credit card.
- I'd like to add that using PUBLIC HOTELS can't really break ToS due to the fact that you can go to the hotel it is public, you could legit sit in the lobby and do it from there if you wanted lol, unless you are using Private Addresses, or fakes then you'd be doing something wrong.


I also want to say that I or TheTechGame is not responsible for any possible bans if you decide to purchase a game that is not in your region this could cause your account or console to be banned.




Can I buy a game thru Xbox.com P.S I am on a VPN set to Argentina
