I want to get DA:I but the difference between the US price and the UK price is £10. Not sure if you're allowed to do so, or even if the game is region-locked, etc.It's fraud to switch your region to take advantage of deals. Depending on how bored Microsoft gets, they could banhammer you on their next outing.Hmm, okay. Thanks. I guess I'll bite the bullet and find some cheap UK gift cards to buy DA with, then. And usually MS's conversion rates are good...just to clarify (coz i am sure someone will wanna come and argue what has been said)
it's not fraud to switch regions. it's fraud to fake a billing address.
and that has nothing to do with microsoft. it's the LAW of each country that considers this fraud.
and yeah, you're breaking microsofts terms and agreement, which states the same thing as those laws, and ultimately it's microsoft who can (if and when they want) drop the banhammer.
