Hi
I bought six months Xbox live on Amazon for fifteen quid
However I can't enter the code at all at all
Even changing the region on my Xbox one to the UK, restarting, won't work.

This has never happened before
Anyone have any ideas?
VPN maybe? I dunno

You don't need to use any VPN. The codes are region free.

I would contact Xbox support to be honest and if that fails then get onto Amazon. Both Xbox and Amazon have great CS from my experience anyway so you should eventually get sorted.

Control pad, power cable, console and HDMI. Basically everything that came in the box, none of the packaging itself is required.

I think the same offer in Smyths says the codes need to be redeemed by 15th of September 2018 so you might want to check that out on the Amazon email the codes came with

I had error like this below, when trying to buy from the Microsoft store. I'm in the UK but my region was Ireland. I had to change the region of my 360 profile.

That's worth an extra €3 in CEX compared to the Xbox version, so if you were buying to trade it's even better :pac:
