    I'd love a HK / Indian account but I can't be arsed! ... it's such a bloody tedious process having to create yet more email addresses / microsoft live accounts! 😒 ... & are you u really saving that much compared to the US store? 😇

    I haven't created any more accounts. Just using the same one for them all, as it stores my card details separately.

    I've got separate UK / US live accounts which I add the appropriate M$ cards to! ... could I access the HK store by logging into my UK or US account & simply change the region on either the website or X1? 😳

    (Or use the paypal stored on either account?) 😳

    On the X1 you just go to setting and change region to desired and then restart the console.
    On the Website I managed to change the region yesterday to India and this allowed me to view the price, but I had to do this once I was in the store. I had originally gone in to the Indian site via Google and as soon as I hit store it redirected me to UK.

    Also thing to note is that India doesn't appear to have any points card available or accept paypal, but you can use your debit card and the only required fields in India when setting up your card is post code and phone number which you can find via Google.

    I have just tried the India store as I was uncertain about using the Hong Kong store and it's still asking for postal addresses, post codes and phone numbers. What i'd like to know is what everyone is using when putting in these details, are you using your own or fake ones?

    That's what im wondering! ... For example ... If I login to my UK account & I use my card already added (which has my proper address, phone etc etc) will the HK / India store still process the payment! :confused:

    Just tested it and the answer is yes. This is how we did it,

    Change Xbox One region to India.
    Use same debit card, address and town as UK.
    Use 576104 as the post code.
    Use 918202922323 as the phone number.
    Use Karnataka as the state.
    Then just pay with your card.

    We just bought Forza Horizon 2 for £37 and FIFA 15 for (£26 with EA Access) :D

    Don't think anyone's mentioned this yet but for the U.S. Store when you give a U.S. address make sure you use an address from a state that doesn't have sales tax. There's only five. Alaska, Delaware, New Hampshire, Montana and Oregon.

    Using my default UK account! ....

    On the US region (via xbox.com) I basically just added my UK address / card details but used.....

    (via namegenerator.in)

    State = Delaware
    Postcode = 19103
    Telephone number = 302-269-7714

    worked a treat! 👍 (purchased D4 just to try it!) 😉

    And then you can just switch back to UK after buying stuff from other stores?

    Crying into my tea irl!


    I would have picked it up for that price. I'll probably wait until a price cut happens now... with Bayonetta 2 and Civ Beyond Earth later this month, my hands will be full anyway ^_^^_^

    I've just had a look on the website & I have £40 in my account from when I had a X1 previously. I'm going to get another one around new year. Will I be able to spend that £40 in the HK or US store?
