Can you not use Google?

I wouldn't buy half the stuff I do without the cost savings involved by buying from foreign regions.

I have so many unplayed games sat on my hdd just because the price was right :smile:

You do know you don't need to get credit from the Russian MS store, just use your debit card.

I didn't, but would still have gone the Revolut card route as that credit can be used in any store rather than buying credit tied to one store.

You do know you don't need a Revolut card to buy from Russia, just get credit from the Russian MS store.

Did this and got an enforcement email off Microsoft, anyone know what this means ?

I've only used Hungary and India in the past as they can be dealt with pretty easily through the Xbox.

But decided to try the Russia route...

So:

-Setup a Revolut card via the iPhone app (use code MSE and topup with £10 to get a free £5 credit) in a few mins.

-Logged into Xbox.com with my usual account.

-Found the game and then changed the region at the very bottom of screen to Russia. (If in chrome it will auto translate some of the screens).

-Clicked buy and had to add my card details.

-Added Revolut card details with a bit of help from google translate. Used my home address but picked a random place from the drop down and used the following to get validation:

Postcode - 107078
Phone - 749 6456789

-Saved card details

-At this point it failed to buy the game.

-Headed over to https://www.goldenfrog.com/vyprvpn to sign up to Vyprvpn and downloaded the app.

-Ran VPN app and switched country to Russia.

-Went back to xbox.com page for Ori that was still open and clicked buy again and all worked fine.

-Switched back the region to UK (very bottom of page on Xbox.com)

It worked out £2.47 for me on Hungary store. I already own the original.

£4.35 through Russia, great! thanks OP! Always fancied trying it and the "definitive edition" stuff gets me every time

Ordered from russia heat added thanks

You don't need Revolut to buy from foreign stores so them banning it would hardly stop foreign purchases. All revolut does is prevent bank charges for currency exchanges.

I own the original but am not seeing a cheaper price. Do you have to do it through the xbox console store or the websitey? Cheers.

Love, love, love Ori! Have some heat <3

try VYPR VPN works fine with that for me

Do you mind if i ask what VPN you use? Im having trouble with Hola trying to buy from Brazil, but ive never had problems with Russia

Just trying to 'escape' the Ginso tree for the twentieth time and still don't feel like throwing my controller across the room ... fantastic game :smile:

My understanding this is treated a different game, as in no save game transfer, you start at the beginning even if you have finished the standard version. You can't just open up the new areas / abilities? Can anyone confirm?

Thanks

Heated will upgrade when home

​make sure you activate your VPN just before you pay - that was why I had trouble before personally, and hopefully it helps you out pal

​im on elder scrolls online atm. however I feel ill be playing this foremost other year. the main story only triggers on your level increase. and last part is at level 50 lol.

Ive made a conscious effort to play some of mine but between Rocket League and Blops 3 I don't have time for anything else, did make an effort to start The Witcher 3 but only play this sparsely even though it is beautiful to look at and enjoyable to play.

​i know what you mean. I may play some now I can't get more atm lol.

​would be the beat way for them to do it I guess. shame but new ways will be found. lol

​if anything, they'll ban the use of revolut cards so that we can't buy from other regions and they'll inevitably lose more money.

​no this was talking to them on the phone I'm trying to find something written online

​strange. Microsoft keep declining mine and that's the reason they gave me. granted I took with a pinch of salt tho

seems Microsoft are cutting revolut off according to them.

Can you send me a adress,post code aND Phone number which i can use to Brasil region

is there a good alternative to revolut

Feb 19. so all good there

Anyone else havingproblwms with revolut

Such a good game. PC version has been delayed a bit which is annoying. Feel like i want to buy a 21:9 monitor just to play this!

Russian version works out at £2.48ish - the Brazilian version is definitely cheaper :smiley:
