Courtesy of Nexx!!
However difficult or complex this looks it's really not, and though your first but may take 10/15 mins it'll only take 5 the next time. And it's extremely easy so let us help you save lots of monies. All downloads will be in the language your Xbox is set to, and it doesn't affect the game or content in any way on or offline.
Figure out which region you want to purchase the game from - http://www.digitalgamesprices.com/xboxone.php
Top up Revolut card with the required amount (Use code MSE when signing up for Revolut and you'll get £5 bonus when you topup. Also, you'll need to topup a bit extra as Microsoft make a test payment of around £0.50 which takes some time to be refunded)

Use VPN to make it look like you're from that region (I use VyprVPN on Windows)

I hope that placeholder is for the PS4 equivalent -
I did it on the PS4 for Tlou but only that time and so I'm not entirely sure how to do it. But if someone does what I've done for the PS4 I'll happily paste it in there. Though I imagine it probably deserves its own thread.

Does everyone here know that story of that guy that got completely fucked over by 4chan and all the had was the last 4 digits of his credit card?"..the pseudo-Left new style.."
-
Heh
-
Good work Verecocha. If the PS4 chaps know the best way to do the same on that then we may as well keep all this stuff together eh?
Is that true Ian? What can be done with four numbers? -
I don't know. I'll try to dig the story out. I imagine a lot of social engineering was used."..the pseudo-Left new style.."

Thanks dude, happy for someone to do the PS4 and message it me or something to paste in.
Just need someone to try it now and confirm I've got it all right. -
^^ You ring up and eventually you have everything. -
None of that works on the ps4 as far as I can see. I've been trying with a new account, American address and Zenmate. Nothing but errors. -

Not sure how the PS4 works doing it, I think I did it on my desktop for TLOU. Someone needs to look into it properly. -
Tried on desktop with vpn etc but doesn't work. Neither with bank cards nor paypal.

You don't need any of that Zenmate shit. It's a piece of piss. Just Google it and get your US Psn cards from Amazon.com

I was gonna say Id forget what I said for the PS4 as uv no idea how that works. Stick to cards for now. X1 definitely works, Gaf is happy.

Argh. Then I have to create an Amazon US account. And why are they going to accept a non US credit card any more than anyone else? It also appears that a 50 dollar card costs 58 dollars for some reason.

I'm assuming you can just buy Hong Kong gift cards from Play-Asia and use those to buy from the HK store?

You can but they add cost on top and you can only get $150/$300 cards etc,always more than you need and at a significantly higher cost so it's pointkess. If you wanna go with cards then Amazon and the US store are your way to go. Still save £10-15.

Ive got a US Amazon account with my British card, use an Oregon address so no tax, never had a problem. -
I've just done all that and now I have to wait 2 hours as they're doing some extra verification of my account. What a load of balls.

Haha, they usually say that and it appears within 5 minutes. -
Hope so.

Does buying from the US store still work fine? I mean it hasn't been blocked like the HK/Indian stores?
-
I bought something from there yesterday, anyway.
-
I go to the account link, and the only options I have are GB and US. How do you put in payment details for HK for the first time? -

With your credit/debit card? -
Yeah.
