Been hunting for this for a few days, and this seems to be the best price. Please use the following for buying from another region (https://www.hotukdeals.com/discussions/xbox-one-buying-from-colombia-guide-works-for-all-regions-2326463)
Comes out Friday 29th Sept (1400uk)
Synopsis of game:
Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game heavily focused on boss battles. Inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era, i.e. traditional hand drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings.
Play as Cuphead or Mugman (in single player or local co-op) as you traverse strange worlds, acquire new weapons, learn powerful super moves, and discover hidden secrets while you try to pay your debt back to the devil

Serious question.
Is there danger of getting banned by Microsoft for doing this if I am in the UK using a trick to get a game from the Turkish store?

This has been my concern for some time too, i remember back in the day when MS would ban for pretty much anything, i know folks say they seem to of had a more lenient stance since the one was released but i cant trust they wont change their ways, all those games and service being at risk makes me avoid these deals :disappointed:

Each to their own.
The reality is that MS has shown complete indifference to people buying out of region where they have a valid payment means. They have changed the way the system works more than once to make it more difficult but there are still ways of doing it. If you're able to, MS don't seem to care and will happily take your money.
I suspect they have to be seen to stop it, or at least make it more difficult, to appease publishers who like to be a leader to charge more in some regions than others.
I've bought loads out of region via VPN and buying gift card codes from resellers. I haven't had any problems with MS. My account at commerce.microsoft.com even shows credit balances in multiple different currencies.

Exactly.
And how does Microsoft know you weren't genuinely abroad when you bought the game.
They made the games region free.

Microsoft will not ban you for buying from a different store. Major Nelson confirmed it years ago.
I've bought games from various other stores since the loophole was discovered and no issues here or anywhere. Plus the bad press/fallout would be the last thing MS needs right now.
If you're still worried buy from the UK store.

I can’t get around it. That’s why I can no longer take advantage of deals like this. I give it a try just and it appears it still doesn’t work.

The guide without a vpn or the guide with a vpn? I have a vpn with PIA but have no router set up, just use it for PC through the application on there.

If i have a gift card, i use the MS App on my phone to redeem and buy, but changing the region. If its a payment, still trying Revolut and VPN for payment methods..il have a go to buy this later when home and confirm best method

Just a heads up GMG have been sending out 25% off codes (presumably to existing customers) for this. Check your inbox's if your after the steam version and have bought stuff from GMG in the past.
manc80 to adam0812
27 Sep 17#16
Looks to be only 11.99 on GMG even without codes, so this deal seems pretty cold.

Can that be redeemed for XBOX as well i assume? Seems to be only PC on the website

More style over substance in my opinion. Played it for a while at EGX and the art / sound are simply amazing but the difficulty curve is going to put lots of people off. Genuinely feels unfair and I consider myself pretty decent at games.
I feel they'd win over more people if it wasn't as difficult.

Trolling. Grow up and get a grip. You’re missing the point.
Someone could take “Major Nelson said” as concrete proof. I’m saying just because someone says it on here doesn’t make it true.

Your argument is a mute point though, as its perfectly fine to buy from other regions on XB Store and PSN both consoles are region free so whether Larry said it or not.. But to confirm it was mentioned in a Major Nelson blog at one point the link is here but the content has been removed..
It did confirm that you can change your marketplace region fine..
The issues were around billing regions, but MS would have to invest a lot of resources to prove you dont have access to the country your buying from so its overlooked and they try to control it with VPN blocking etc..
thekitkatshuffler to unconfirmed
27 Sep 17#37
For me to miss your point you would need to have one. Simply vocally disbelieving people, despite zero evidence of anyone ever having been banned for giving Microsoft money for their games, isn't any kind of point.
Anyone can easily jump on web chat and confirm that it's fine for themselves, or they can devote time to being a worthless troll instead.
Blurt.
