Wait, so not only can you play it early, you can get around paying your local price and get it cheaper? Surely MS will put an end to this eventually.
If I buy US MS credit will I be able buy from HK

It's been going on since the 360 days, they haven't bothered to fix it yet.
Only if you buy the credit from Hong Kong...
Microsoft credit is region locked so if you buy USA credit it will only work in the USA store
You might be able to get Chinese Microsoft cash cards online though and those would work...

Can you be banned from buying from other regions to pay less

There has to be something done about game releases. The fact that I can go on twitch and watch people play the full game already or people can buy it from another region and play it while others have to wait until 3am is insane.
Something has to change.
1080P is in Full Effect its more noticeable in cut scenes, everything looks more crisp. Frame rate seems more stable as well.

The difference in price is crazy!
The digital guardian edition is 559 HKD which works out at roughly £44.
The UK store price is £85.99!
As a 360 owner I never knew this! Crazy. I'm surprised MS and their retail partners would be okay with this. I would have thought they would ban accounts for using this to get it cheaper than their region.
isn't Dlc region locked though?The difference in price is crazy!

region free consoleYou can be banned for anything, but yeah, this would be Marketplace fraud.
So, they could ban you for it if they wanted to. Whether or not they actually do is, well up to them.

how would the season pass that's included work?
region free console
how are you breaking a law when there's no law there in the first place
Aren't we simply avoiding paying the UK tax by buying the US version?
It was considered marketplace fraud on the Xbox 360. I don't have an XB1 so I don't know if that policy was changed.

Anyone know how to access Vanguard Armory? Says I installed it with my base game when I unlocked using HK method.
6.3. Billing. By providing Microsoft with a payment method, you (i) represent that you are authorized to use the payment method that you provided and that any payment information you provide is true and accurate;
It's totally different.
First - all games are WW signed. Not all 360 games are.
Second - The console will work everywhere (keeping in mind Power Supplies)
Third - You can use one of the 13 digital marketplaces corresponding to our launch markets, assuming you have a valid payment instrument for those countries. Lots of people in Europe specifically travel, move, and visit family.
Now, of course, if you were using Pre-Paid cards...
You will still find that music and video content can be geo-restricted based on licensing. (e.g. Netflix works only in supported countries)
I should have bought it from HK store :<
Gunna be buying off of the HK store from now on, or standard UK. I would have played Destiny all night but I had to get it from the US store. FUUUUCK
LolWell after waking up and it still not being unlocked I gave MS a call. They acknowledged some customers are having problems with unlocking the pre-load and offered a refund if the game had not unlocked within a week. A fucking week. Fucking disgraceful treatment of your customers Microsoft.
