Xbox 360 Game Deals & Offers

Depends if its a backwards compat title. If it was a backwards compatible xbox 360 game, they are region free if downloading to a Xbox one or Series X. I bought a few backwards compatable 360 games from overseas xbox marketplace and enjoying them on my Xbox One X and Series X. But if I try to download them on my 360 from the download history they error and say currupt due the the region lock as expected.

FYI Xbox 360 Marketplace games are not region free and so in this instance cannot be obtained free without undertaking an account migration with Microsoft, this is not the same as a quick region change on the console. No offence OP but a few people are already out of pocket by £15 from the earlier post, the same issues are noted via the source of the deal over at MyDealz

Comes up as Two thousand nine hundred and ninty nine pennies for me also...

Really again, after army of 2

I get it post first smell the artificial brownie points... But if its only redeemable one way, shouldn't that be expressed either in the title or I don't know some area that's meant for something like a description, like say the description area.

Just to let you know i got my refund from MS...Thanks for the advise. (y)

Very strange - It was defintely free for me when I attempted and I defintely have no charges showing on my MS account or bank account!

You'd have to contact MS Customer Service... But if you've bought from foreign regions a lot/before, then you might shine a light on an account you don't won't a light on.

DAM (mad) just got £14.99p taken from Paypal had email from them. Anyway can i get a refund?

anything for a bit of free tat

If it's available directly on their site by clicking a few buttons then there should be no issue because they should have in place regional restrictions to block it. If you have to use a VPN to get around regional restrictions then that's potentially not acceptable and could mean that content may become blocked or your account blocked. It's a risk some people aren't willing to make, especially if you already have hundreds spent on an account. Why does Microsoft offer different things to different regions? Well that's because in some regions they are not allowed to offer the game they offered to everyone else due to localised laws, so they offer a replacement.

I know this has been asked a bazillion times before but: 1) Is there any risk of anything at all doing this - i.e. getting banned from XBL for doing something you shouldn't? I've noticed that these deals lately say "No VPN" needed - whereas whenever I used to see similar, it always required you to use VPN to 'circumvent' regional differences. How come this isn't the case anymore? If they know people are doing this - see question 2... 2) Why do they do this? Being Microsoft, why don't they release these titles to every region, everywhere? Why are they always local to particular countries? Voted hot, by the way. Just finished "Banjo Kazooie: N & B." It was a fantastic little diversion that kept me entertained so thanks again for that, @joeydeacon (y)

This has always been free
