Buying games using a VPN

[Lambchops]

I am guessing I am late to the party but by Christ there's some savings to be had buying digital copies of games using a vpn

Did this for years, used to get the Brazilian Xbox live for less than half the price with the help of a VPN and Google translate.

Is it that noticeable to be worth the hassle?,

It can be. I got the PC Dying Light 2 Ultimate Edition for around a quarter of the then UK price

It’s huge alright. I have a US PSN account. No need for vpn. Just buy top up cards on Amazon.com.
Games are same price in $ as £ so you get a game for £56 instead of £70

Looked at other regions? India, Argentina, Turkey etc... even cheaper!

I did but can’t be arsed setting up multiple different accounts tbh. I buy most stuff in sales. Prob only 2 or 3 first day purchases a year

Might have a look at turkey though. Got YouTube premium for a year there for €15

If for example you buy a game from the Turkey store, can that game be installed and played on your UK account so you get trophies and that or do you need to log into an account that matches which store you bought the game from?

I'm buying them from gamivo.com, turkey version, logging into turkey through VPN on my phone to redeem the code and it downloads on my cz account - no need for additional accounts

Buy from whatever store, on that account, then you can also access the game on your main account and use online etc.

Worth noting for an xbox thats a simple way, slightly diff on a playstation, need to have another account on the device too.

Aye it's Xbox we have

Just done a comparison out of interest (my VPN still works with my Turkish Epic Games account).

PC Dead Island 2 Base Game = £54.99 on the UK store, or £17.39 on the Turkish store (429 Turkish Lira).

How did you do that mate? I tried last week to login to my google account while my VPN was set for Turkey and google wouldn't let me login due to security reasons

 

[Lambchops]

Anyone on Xbox buy Xbox live cheap then add a cheap months gamepass ultimate and you get a year's ultimate for 20 odd quid

I think I may have done it on a fire stick. Logged onto turkey with nord vpn then re launched the YouTube app and it just gave me Turkish prices.

How do I do this on Xbox Series X to purchase from different app stores?

Buy the game, log in VPN on phone, redeem code - done

So buy the game on your phone on Turkish app store using VPN? Then just redeem code on Xbox? No VPN on Xbox?
