I quite enjoyed this.
Reminded me of the classic Spy Hunter.
Pretty funny to with the film and game references.
Its not a deep game but its good, simple fun and for free you can't complain.

no - this relates to Xbox 360 region changes - not Xbox One - there is no limit on Xbox One region changes, full stop. Xbox One games are region free!

you have to load up the xbox canada website, then log in (to the xbox canada wesbite) using your regular xbox / MS account credentials - only when you are logged in will it check whether you already own the core/base destiny game - if you do own the core/base game then it will give you the option for the TTK digital upgrade, for me it was 40 CAD plus 5% sales tax, so 42 CAD. 42 canadian dollars at today's rate is £20.97
if you weren't logged in on xbox canada website it wouldn't know whether you had the core/base game or not so will not give you a price for the TTK DLC only - and the only prices you will see will be for the Destiny legendary edition - digital or digital collectors editions at 60 CAD and 80 CAD respectively (from memory)

I've logged in changed region. But cannot see a download button anywhere, I'm trying on my mobile and tried switching to desktop site but still no joy. Is the download button green?
Sorted now, did it through Internet explorer on my Xbox no problem. Thanks.

On xbox dot com it mentions you can only change regions every 3 months. Is this true and can you get around this?
benjammin316 to mjgfish
17 Oct 152#49
That's changing your location, just changing the language is nothing to do with this and can be done infinite times.

Is there any service I can sign up to to receive notifications on when these games are available in different regions?

can someone explain this for me. I went and changed my region to Japan and signed in when on the Loco page it says set dedicated in the green download box. What am i doing wrong?

17 Oct 15#40
so can you switch to a different region, download the game and then switch back?
benjammin316 to drewbles82
17 Oct 15#42
Just do it from website Bro, a lot easier.

This has got me thinking, so have I been missing out? Could I theoretically have been getting other countries games with gold every single month since the Xbone landed? What other regions/countries have people found this worked on? Any that are known to get particularly good games with gold? Wouldn't take a lot to beat ours......
benjammin316 to ST3123
17 Oct 15#36
It's not often other regions have a different gwg. This is, the 2nd or 3rd time since it started

cost me £27 (including bank charges, got my usd from amazon.com).
So how I understand it, it's the free games that flagged on the x360, no idea if that will be a prob on the x1. The region switch purchase appears to be a grey area. - well that's how I understand it.

Can this be done on the Xbox without going onto Xbox.com?
ST3123 to matthewh00
16 Oct 15#31
I think so but why on earth would you want to? It is much easier doing it via the website where you only have one page to navigate (in Japanese) after changing region, I find the Xbox One interface bad enough to navigate in English let alone Japanese! It still feels like it's designed around Kinect, which MS have long ago abandoned, they need to redesign it for regular controller use.
The only reason I could think you would want to do it on the console is if you don't have a computer but even then you could just set your phone/tablet to "request desktop site" which should make it behave pretty much like a regular PC browser though expect to do a lot of zooming as it will be designed for monitors/TVs.....

It won't jeopardise anything. I've got games from every region and play them all through the UK region. My EA ACCESS was from the USA yesterday but expired. It's from Hungary now and it all works.

16 Oct 15#26
Aha, thanks for the reply. I got this game. I was thinking to buy ea access but now I am worried. if I switched region and got this game and soon after I get ea access, would it trigger their system? Or should I not be so neurotic? I have lots of games on xbox live, i don't want to jeopardise it.

Funds dont expire as far as I know but they ARE region specific.
So I have £X on my account - if I switch to Canadian Store, I have CAD$ 0.00
Thats why people buy the region specific cards.

Is there a site that tells you prices of games in different regions?
P_K
16 Oct 15#21
I second all of this - I've used Canada, games are often half the price
example
Destiny TTK in the UK Xbox One store: £40
Destiny TTK in the Canada Xbox One Store: £21 (approx)
and no, you don't get banned

I would love to know what's Microsoft's actual policy on this is.

16 Oct 151#18
This is the digital age, MS, sony, and steam don't actually have policies. None of these a-holes do. They just make them up as they go along.

Thanks, was fiddly on mobile. Wouldn't work on chrome but managed with Firefox (though without translate lol). Now says purchased when I change the region back but not in my purchases online. Hopefully it worked and can download when I get home in a few days. Thanks op

How can I change the region on my xbox one? I have some funds on there, will these expire? Also how often can you change regions?

Cost difference.

16 Oct 15#11
I appreciate what you're saying and I've been purchasing from other regions for months.
This is different though. It's getting a game for free that you shouldn't have access to.
I might try it later.

I'm usually up for this sort of stuff but wasn't THAT the reason people were getting banned on the 360? :disappointed:
GTJames1107 to stuarthanley
16 Oct 151#8
People were allegedly banned because we were using a loop hole to download from a marketplace which didn't exist, IE Oman.
The X1 works differently from the 360 as in it is region free and we can switch marketplace at the drop of a hat.
I have claimed GWG from other regions, consistently bought from the US and am now dabbling with Hungary.
When I had issues with logging into FC4, I spoke to chat who even asked me why I used a different region to buy from than the one Im in. Thought, great, this is gonna get flagged. There was no warning, my account is still active and I still continue to purchase and abuse the region free capabilities that Microsoft have enabled us to do.

I directed people to power star golf last year. It got slated with comments saying you're gonna get banned. Still here :-) bought from multi regions and snapped up gwg when they differ due to licensing. I was informing people Max was free last month in Japan. No one interested and that was a great game. Don't think you'll get much interest for Loco though.
