Hong Kong, it's works !

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

HK store
Works,though i live in HK

 

[bidguy]

changing to hk

 

[JTGreat]

Was just about to post that I can't get on the one I got off the Hong Kong Store. So that would make sense.

EDIT: scrap that! I'm playing right now!

 

[Niven]

HK works

 

[Sikamikanico]

I'm wondering if this is more linked to a pre-loading/digital first time the feature has gone live for the console issue over IP region locking.

 

[Entrecôte]

Yep HK working, Nice.

 

[VE3TRO]

That report was 30 min ago. So we should be getting an update in minuets.

Hopefully it's now done. I've checked the Hong Kong status and everything is up and running. I'll try it out now.

 

[fwinks]

HK works

Do I have to repurchase it in the HK Store??? Or just change my region?

I got it from HK digital store so I'm not sure but it's worth a go

 

[EvB]

Hong Kong purchase is working.

Is it working for people that didn't buy it from HK?

 

[VE3TRO]

Are you guys re-purchasing on HK store? I'm still getting You are too early.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

So.. are they going to ban people for this? I'm considering picking the game up, but I'm apprehensive about utilizing the glitch for early access.

 

[bidguy]

doesnt work for people who didnt buy the hk version

 

[Riedinizzo]

Im playing!! Hypeeeee

 

[fwinks]

doesnt work for people who didnt buy the hk version

Crap! I dont want to buy the game again. Thats stupidity right there. haha

 

[p3tran]

Guys!

VIVA HONG KONG!!!!

I'm going in!

 

[Entrecôte]

Yes this is Destiny bought in HK, but not now set to HK region. Started working after 12 HK time.

 

[Tawpgun]

Wait... did you guys seriously just buy the game again off the HK store?

ie if I bought from the good ol US of A I basically have to wait to the (dumb) time of 3am EST?

[VE3TRO]

I need an address for Hong Kong.

 

[Toa TAK]

Best coast, baby.

 

[fwinks]

I need an address for Hong Kong.

Don't do it dude, such a waste of money! Just wait the few hours left

 

[mcfrank]

Did anyone who bought it on the USA store get it to work on the Hong Kong store?

 

[iSpitfireBreh]

Is Hong Kong version really $390 or is marketplace trollin?

 

[VE3TRO]

Don't do it dude, such a waste of money! Just wait the few hours left

Too late lol. Anyway the price difference with this and the US one still worked out cheaper than buying from the UK lol.

Has anyone tried changing DNS server settings?

Some New Zealand dns servers:
Primary DNS: 202.27.158.40
Secondary DNS: 202.27.156.72

Go add, then change time zone, region and reset.

Let me know if it works, I'm stuck at work until late tonight

 

[fwinks]

HKD not USD
Its like 45-50 bucks

 

[Tawpgun]

the hype is blinding some of you, can't believe you're gonna drop $60 on a game you already bought just to play it early.

If Yall got that kind of disposable income send some my way ill play with you guys

The NZ and AU stores are having issues that's why it isn't working.

 

[iSpitfireBreh]

Can you use paypal to play HK? Says I need to add a credit card but I hear talk about changing address.... to tired for this stuff

 

[p3tran]

Personally, I moved recently to Hong Kong so I bought it originally from HK marketplace.

just wait till it hits your store dude. its not worth it paying twice

 

[Tak3n]

what we now can confirm

you have to change region to buy game, but not to play it early

at 5pm GMT the HK version of Destiny said it was ready, did not have to change region to play

excellent news

 

[fwinks]

There are no more issues on the XBOX.com New Zealand support website. All areas are active. If it was going to work it would work now.

 

[HunRevan]

Tried switching to Hong Kong locale. It does the same thing as on the NZ locale. Saying unavailable.

 

[Syinn]

So did anyone buy the standard in the HK store after buying the digital guardian edition in a different region?

 

[bidguy]

There are no more issues on the XBOX.com New Zealand support website. All areas are active. If it was going to work it would work now.

which confirms that the only thing that matters is the store that you bought it from

re did you buy it? if you bought it on US store there is nothing you can do, you have to wait..

the game unlocks based on the store you bought it from, regardless of what locale you change in your Xbox

 

[Loginius]

So if I purchased the digital guardian edition from the us store can I only buy the standard preorder edition from the hk store?
Will I still unlock all my bonuses?

Anyone know how this works?

If it does not it will be so much easier to wait, living in germany and having bought the us version I feel stupid now, probably would have to wait until tuesday afternoon if the unlock via the region you've bought the game in is true.

In the very least I will wait for the NZ statement.
EDIT:
Seems NZ fixing xboxlive didnt do anything.

 

[DesertFox]

Won't be participating in this craziness since I'm at work, but this is entertaining what some people are doing to play less than a day early!

Bingo was his name-O

 

[Flintty]

:O Should I change back to NZ then? Shall I get my party pants back on??Edit: Oh

no

 

[gossi]

Hong Kong (or New Zealand etc) only works if you haven't already paid for the game. If you've pre-ordered you have to wait for it to unlock in that region's store (including if you pre-ordered the US version but live outside the US, you have to wait until midnight West Coast US time to play).

 

[Poodle Cannon]

:O Should I change back to NZ then? Shall I get my party pants back on??

If you didn't buy it in the NZ store then no.

 

[iSpitfireBreh]

Can someone please clarify:

Do I put a local HK address to my XBL account or a HK address to my Credit Card details when im in the process of adding one for payment?

 

[Izuna]

=( You guys me feel like when you have a dream, and you have something really awesome, and then wake up to realise it was just a dream.

I HATE YOU ALL

 

[borghe]

edit - changed accordoing to what some are saying for some games.
