I've been asked to post this up from the misc thread about buying games in other stores.
A lot of us on HUKD have bought the Ultimate Edition (which is the standard edition game plus deluxe edition DLC, plus the Season pass) from the Colombia Xbox store for £49.37 (£44.70 if you have EA access - which is again cheaper in the Hungarian marketplace @ £13.56 per year).
This is a saving of £55.62/£60.29 of the UK store price, which is a rip off £104.99.
It can be done in a few ways, but the recommended way is using a no fee card (such as Revolut) & a VPN.
FYI the Sony 'fanboys' actually want the Xbox One to do well... at the moment Sony stands unopposed, which means less effort, less deals and absolutely no reason to go above and beyond for it's customers.
When there's no competition, *everyone* loses.

Would someone with an Xbox One looking for the Ultimate edition really vote cold ?

unopposed.....what a crock!! there's many other gaming consoles not just the ps4 it doesn't make up 100% or even 50% of market sales nice try

I'm a Sony "fanboy" and I voted hot :man: because it's actually a decent deal. The £40 season pass is insane. Worse yet is that EA haven't even announced whats even in it
ChrisUK
22 Nov 15#19
Haha, that's how the site "should" work mate.
The price of this in the UK store is so stupid. If it wasn't this price, I doubt I'd have got the season pass.
Out of all the Colombia deals I've posted, this is the best out of the bunch, yet coldest :neutral_face:
It's the only one (so far), I've actually purchased myself !!

Has anyone been banned for this?
ChrisUK to lis27
22 Nov 15#21
It's not against the MS terms & conditions.
You'd only get banned for switching regions & downloading free content not available in this country (I.e games for gold India).

Yes! - and that's apart from its being as shady as hell. What next people listing torrent sites on this forum

22 Nov 15#22
Nice, going to bite the bullet on PS4 once this hits £40. I don't usually play FPSs but if it's Star Wars, it's worth buying! (Well, unless if the prequels are involved...)
ChrisUK to ChampEon
22 Nov 15#24
Don't forget this is the ultimate edition with the extra content & season pass.
The season pass alone costs £40 from MS, so be careful when buying for the PS4

I'm gonna don my 'that pedant internet bloke' cap for a second and ask...shouldn't the deal be from 'Colombia'... and not 'Columbia'? :P

22 Nov 15#26
Are we going to start having a thread for every game that's cheapest on colombian store, which is most games so.... Or can we not just keep it all in one thread...
ChrisUK to hello55060
22 Nov 151#27
Every game which is deemed to be worth a thread in its own right, yes. This means people won't miss an excellent deal. I'm only posting up the good ones after people requested I do in the guide thread.
For anyone game sharing, this will save you and a mate £165.28.
If you put me on ignore, my deals won't pop up in your feed :smiley:

It's not shady as hell. Microsoft changed from 360 to One allowing this to be possible. If you talk to Microsoft Help they will confirm you are okay doing this.

No, only the region it was purchased for.

I tried the beta and to be fair, it's not a patch on the previous games in the series 10+ years ago. It's Call of Duty lite in a Star Wars skin.

Stop spreading absolute ****.
Get on support chat with Microsoft, this is perfectly fine.

22 Nov 152#36
You are absolutely clueless, or simply lying. No one has been banned for this, I have even asked MS themselves in the Live Chat and they have said there is nothing forbidding it.

I'm looking for an Xbox game sharing friend ... All my friends are on the inferior PS4
ChrisUK to matthewraymond
22 Nov 15#38
Be careful with that. They would need to live locally or you'd have to give them your account details.......
Lashley to matthewraymond
22 Nov 15#40
I was looking for a gameshare friend too, but I don't think its as simple as gamesharing on the PS4
Nah, I meant how you could deactivate easily on ps4 etc but with the xbox you're restricted
ChrisUK
22 Nov 15#43
What do you mean by that ?
Lashley
22 Nov 15#44
Wey say if the person wanted to gameshare with their friend instead of you, it was easy to deactivate and you could then activate and gameshare with someone else
as far as I know, xbox doesn't let you do this? Or can you untick the this is my home xbox thing?
If you can, ideal, I just need to find someone with a similar taste in games :smile:
ChrisUK
22 Nov 151#45
No that's easy as well, but you can only change it 3 times per year, so pick your friends carefully lol

How long has this worked for?

The region free buying, since the days of the 360. Battlefront since it was released in the MS store.

23 Nov 15#48
Ah so it's not a new thing, that puts my mind at ease
ChrisUK to lis27
23 Nov 15#49
I put it off for ages on the XB1 as I wasn't sure about it myself, but after a load of research & countless friends doing it, I jumped in about 18 months ago. The only downside is I now have around 2 TB of games :S

23 Nov 151#50
That is an upside hahah
I bought, just didn't want banned or anything like that.. Too late now anyways.

Has anyone else had problems paying with the Revolut app? I tried buying this game as per the instructions in the OP, but every time I tried to pay I got a message saying I had to use an alternative method of payment. I set my Revolut app location to Colombia etc. and tried 2 different VPN applications, and on 2 devices (Android phone and Windows 7 Laptop) so no idea why it wouldn't work.
According to the Revolut support (in Spanish as I had set my location to Colombia), they are saying that for now Microsoft are not accepting pre-paid cards :o( can anyone confirm this?

With a £5 off if you use that money sending app revolut and the promotion code, ea access and obviously the sale price mine came in at under 35£ for the ultimate edition. Use the tutorial linked to on p1 and it took me about 20 mins to sort

This then effectively becomes half price (£24.69/£22.35) if game sharing with a friend.
