    Default digi downloads from Germany

    Looking at digi downloads for xbox outside of the xbox marketplace and seems to be quite a few options out there.

    Looking at The Division which is £54.99 on xbox but

    http://www.dlcompare.com/games/838/d...retail#xboxone
    Says I can get it for £22.50 from

    http://www.consogame.com/the-divisio...=568d4169e24f7 digi download. in the specifications it says "Limite régionale Aucune limite Vous pouvez télécharger le jeu dans tous les pays sans le moindre problème " which translates to "regional limit No limit You can download the game in all countries without any problems"

    This looks too good to be true so I am asking if anyone thinks this code wont work or any other problems they can see?

    Thanks

    Went for it and looks like its not a digi download but a profile sharing deal as I have just got emailed an email account and password :-(

    but looking at other profile sharing it looks like you can install using their account and then delete them off and still play it

    INSTRUCTION:
    1. Press in center of controller (in left upper corner) green button “A” and select “Add new”
    2. Enter login & password (Emailassword), BE SURE you checked “SAVE PASSWORD”
    3. Move to: My games&Apps, press right – you will see the game you bought, press “Install”
    4. After downloading disconnect LIVE and check if the game works
    5. Relogin with your Account
    6. In Xbox settings select “Memory”, then “Profile” and delete odd!
    7. That’s all, you can play!

    Default digi downloads from Germany

    It will work, but the link you posted states you will receive access to a Microsoft account. Looks like they are selling game sharing.

    I was looking to buy just cause 3 and found the Argentinian market place was the cheapest. According to a guide in hot deals you add a revolut virtual card to your ms acc and purchase that way (haven't got round to it yet)

    My German aint the best so didn't read the small print but thought the xbox marketplace sell at different rates so must the shops, I cant be arsed with the xbox marketplace fudge either.

    If download it from their profile once downloaded I can delete that profile and keep the game forever or will it eventually expire is there any down side?
    Also I am sharing me xbox with someone else so my xbox isn't my home xbox so will doing this effect that also? I don't care if the other person get this or not as long as I do?

    For game sharing you need to keep their profile on your xbox otherwise the game won't work when you try it.

    I bought The Witcher 3 using this method....think it was about £25 cheaper and it was fleabay. You DO delete the donor account after download at least that was the instructions I had to follow. Works fine without issue.

    Edit to add - UFC 2 is available for £26 on ebay using this method.

    Edit again - I have just found a site that has a kind of marketplace for these things...Sellers selling games at £21 for standard editions £26 for deluxe and season passes at £19.....Im going to look a bit deeper again lol. Like I said I done this on ebay before but didn't really think anything of it and just did as was instructed - seems there are groups and stuff all over doing this and there are tuts on how to ensure that your details are "locked/hidden".

    Yeah I think you can delete the account on these instructions due to it saying disconnect from xbox live, doesn't say go back online :-S

    4. After downloading disconnect LIVE and check if the game works
    5. Relogin with your Account
    6. In Xbox settings select “Memory”, then “Profile” and delete odd!
    7. That’s all, you can play!

    If you leave profile on there you can still have your xbox home somewhere else, that not effected?

    Yeah it works fine, I have not deleted the profile yet as nervous that will stop it working (but if it did then surely I could just log them back in)

    Thanks to akimba

    I think it must have something to do with that account then having it's home xbox as yours.
    Would be surprised if it would still work after deleting the account though, but yeah worst case you must be able to readd.

    I'd probably also make sure you change the password so that they can't steal it back again some way down the line.

    I didn't need to set it as their home at all it was just ready to install which I thought was weird.

    Yeah that is my other worry that they delete the game or account down the line so might do as say and change password and also recovery email ;-)
