until the day Microsoft decides to actually enforce their regional policies, find out you don't actually live in US, have been using this to save a ton of money... and ultimately decide to ban your account... together with all the associated downloads you paid for.

they might have never done this in the past years... but that doesn't mean they suddenly do it.

they might have never done this in the past years... but that doesn't mean they suddenly do it.Ms have banned alot of ppl for changing their region to get a better deal elsewhere, a friend changed to get an xbla game from a different region and his gamer tag was banned PERMANENTLY so i would advise against it, unless you use a profile/gamertag you don't worry about a ban.

these digital deals are still WAAAAAY overpriced i mean watch dogs was £25 on x1 and £20 in 360 retail in game last week and digital version £40?! What a joke. And a load of places have advanced warefare at £25 today.
digital prices are ridiculous and have no re-sale value at all, i will never understand digital over retail, if you are too lazy to go to a shop or order from a website you are pushing up prices for everyone else

Okay.

Don't buy in, people.It's always like that. Everything is cheaper in the US. Get over it.And YOU saying stuff like that IS WHAT MAKES THEM THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT. You're as much of the problem as microsoft.It's not Microsoft dufus. It's the way of the world. Everything is cheaper in the US. Games, clothes, cars, technology. It's called economics. If you are that bothered move somewhere else.

Okay.He is that one guy that does not mind getting ripped off.

The Evil Within UK price is clearly an error. This page from the UK store says it should be 50% off: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/promotions/sales/holiday-sale

Okay.why?! You and other ppl who pay extra for this push the game prices up for the rest of us. Get off your arse and go to a shop or order it from a website! Payin an extra $20 so you don't have to move from you're sofa is idiotic. Or are you a millionaire?!

Unfcnbleevibl said:$40 for a digital copy of Borderlands Prequel Sequel? You can get a physical copy for cheaper, Amazon has it for $35 and Best Buy has it for $30. Destiny is $5 cheaper at Amazon as well.

Not all that thrilled with any of these deals. And by the time I get around to playing any of them, the games will be $20. I can wait till I get through more of backlog before wasting money.just got pre the sequel at walmart a few hours ago for 25 bucks at walmart

It's been done pretty much since the 360 came out and no one has been banned JUST for changing regions. If you have a valid method of payment in that Region then it is okay with MS.

People were banned for the whole Oman thing which was an entirely different ball game.

If people are banned for it then fair enough, I'll shut up. But I've seen no proof to show MS bans for buying stuff in other regions plus I've been doing it for about 6 years now and all XB1 content from other regions on my actual account.

Instead of asking people what is wrong with them, you should ask yourself what-the-hell is wrong with you!

This sale is a bag of dicks

Will there ever be a sale where people are simply appreciative for the opportunity to buy a digital game cheaper than listed? Every sale brings hate towards Microsoft because of conversion rates, the selection of games is not what they want, or the price reduction isn't good enough for them. The sense of entitlement for some is moronic.

If you do not like the prices - do not buy the damn game.

TrueBlade94 said:• The Evil Within (Xbox One) - 29% off - Now US$29.99 / £42.49 / €59.49

I don't know the current conversion rates, but surely that's wrong? US less than UK? Or does the discount only apply in the US for that game?So the game is 2.5 x cheaper (150%!) for Americans than it is for Europeans?

Seriously. What the fuck is this?

If you do not like the prices - do not buy the damn game.do you work for Microsoft or something? consumers expect the best price on things they buy, Microsoft doesn't understand that, nor do they attempt to deliver that to us.
