Been searching the site but can't find the post. Anyone recall what it was?

Do you need to be resident in the country, with a permanent address, or can you use it when you are just visiting on holidays?

Same here, thought why not? Massively limits the chances of card getting skimmed.

MOD REMINDER:

Discussion of deals found on foreign regions is totally ok, discussion on how to circumvent region restrictions to get those deals is not.

Picked up Batman Arkham Knight for €22.49 in Xtra vision today, not the bargain of the century and not even sure I will like it but not bad value.

Didn't have much there to be honest. Rise of the Tomb Raider for €35, Halo MCC for €17.50

€35 for ROTTR is good value. Might pick it up myself for that price.
