ChewieOnIce said:No, the games on the One aren't region locked so it matters not which store you purchased them through to play them. You don't even have to change you Xbox region as suggested above. Just change region on Xbox.com, get a US$ currency card, buy the games and they'll appear in the download queue. You only need to change the Xbox region if the game isn't sold on your regions marketplace. And that's just so it will appear in the ready to download queue. Once it's downloaded you can switch back and play with no issues.
What about 360 games though, does it work the same way ? I wouldn't want to change my account region and then not be able to play any of my 360 games on my 360 console.
You can still use your Xbox 360 downloaded content after changing regions, but if you delete the content you may not be able to download it unless you switch back if it is not available in the region you changed to.
The Xbox 360 is very different to the Xbox One as it is not region free. Since you can only change region once every 3 months, you may find things such as the GwG they are offering cannot be downloaded in your region, or the add-ons for a game are not compatible with your regions version of the game. Much more likely if you are switching from UK (PAL) to US (NTSC), than from say NZ (PAL) to UK (PAL). The best thing to do is create a second account in the other region and use that to make purchases from your Xbox 360. That way all the other accounts on that Xbox 360 can access that content, even when not connected to the internet.
