Guide for xbox one
The xbox and games are region free, but currency isn't. Even if you download the games this way all updates and any DLC you may want will be available from your native store OR the USA store.
First off what you need to do is change the region your xbox is set to. (This is only temporary and can be changed back and to however many regions you like)
To do this press XBOX GUIDE BUTTON and go to SETTINGS go to SYSTEM go to LOCATION/REGION change to USA. (You do not need to change language or anything else) now RESTART your xbox.
When you restart your Xbox go to the store and have a look at the games to buy (they should all be in $ dollars) the top games are $59.99 or less.
To get games at £33
Now what you need to do is get some Microsoft credit to buy these games. You may be able to find a site of your choice, but I use a site called Crazygametime.com (use your UK or home country details for this) they usually email you the codes within 30 minutes. If you buy a $10 and a $50 live card from these it works out at £33. (I think buying 2x $30 works out even less) if you are registering on this site, when it comes to telephone confirmation (they ring you with a code) remember to knock the first "0" off your number. And add your country code, for Britain it is "44"
Sometimes this site is out of stock of cards, I have put a lot of customers onto them in a short amount of time. Obviously if they are out of stock that is beyond my control. They have been restocking every few days, so keep trying.
This next way to get even cheaper is a little trickier.
To get games at anything from £20-£30
You need to go to eBay.com not .co.uk (this is the American eBay site) and do a search for "Microsoft store credit" this is officially to buy windows apps and stuff, but it will also work on xbox live, these have time limits on them so read the descriptions, they have got to be used within a certain time. These can be bought very cheap around $17 for a $25 card. You need to contact the seller most times to ask if they will ship to uk. It's only an emailed code. This can make the games around £20 if you get them cheap enough and depending on the current exchange rate. Some people are reporting .co.uk email addresses are not working on the USA eBay. I have not had this problem as my email address is .com. So you might need to get a .com address. I think gmail do one.
I have also included a link to make buying using paypal even cheaper.

If you want to test all this out I recommend buying a $10 card and buying Lococycle (it is currently $9.99 around £5.75) Peggie 2 is cheap as well and is brilliant.
Now when you have your codes go back to your xbox and say "xbox use a code" or whatever method you use for redeeming codes on your xbox. Now enter the code(s) you got sent. Make sure you do this whilst you are in the American store.
Once you have the money in your USA stores wallet, go ahead and buy a game of your choosing.
It will ask you for a billing address. Put these details in.
STATE-- Nevada
ADDRESS LINE 1-- you can use any street name I just used THE STREET
POSTAL CODE-- 89019
TELEPHONE-- 702 607 7777
This is the postal code and telephone number of The Pelazzio hotel. You can change these if you want, you would have to google around to see different details. Nothing ever gets sent there or any telephone calls ever made.
When you have done this your game will download and you can play. You can change back to your own region and the game is still available. As promised as well, Titanfall will release on 11/03 rather than 14/03 on the USA store so you can download and play the game early. As well as many other games that release in the USA xbox store. This method worked for Tomb Raider which released early.
If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to drop me an email at
michael-fox6@sky.com and I will do my best to help you out. Have fun gaming and at nearly half the price it would usually cost.
I will add more sites as I find them where to get American xbox currency from here.

The second guide is if you would like to pay for games straight from Microsoft using paypal. This will make the games around £38 depending on exchange rates
Paypal guide
1. Go to
http://www.commerce.microsoft.com and log in to your account.
2. Next to your profile at the top right of the screen it should say 'UK– Personal Account.' Click on it to see whether it is a drop down box where you can select 'US – Personal Account.' If you can, select it and then go to the Payment Options and then select 'Add Payment option' and follow the steps to add your PayPal account. If you don't have the drop down box with a US account option, then log out of your account and continue as follows.
3. Go to the US Xbox Store –
https://store.xbox.com/en-US/
4. Select the game you want to purchase and then click on the 'Buy now for Xbox One' button. This will open a box where it will only give you the option to add a credit card. Adding a credit card will create the 'US – Personal Account' option needed in your commerce.microsoft.com account.
5. Add your UK credit card details but enter a US address*. Once you've added the card and when it prompts you to confirm payment, cancel the transaction.
*NOTE: Enter an address for a state that does not have sales tax on digital games. I used the same details that is in the guide. If you have done the other guide at all, an address should already be there.
6. Return to
http://www.commerce.microsoft.com and login again and you should have the option to select 'US – Personal Account'. Follow the process as per step 2 to add your PayPal account.
7. Once PayPal is added, remove your credit card that you added in step 5.
8. Return to the US Xbox Store and you will now be able to purchase your game with your UK PayPal account.
