    I was browsing on my laptop around Microsoft video, I was logged in with my account. Saw Mad Max fury road was out, got excited and rented in (checked the rental supported xbox), I paid in dollars but didn't think much about it.

    I then later logged on to my Xbox and expected to see fury road there. But it wasn't there. Under my videos.

    A bit more investigation and Fury road isn't out in Europe!

    So the question is, how do I get to my rental ? I would love to watch fury road tonight.

    Is your laptop avoiding regional restrictions? could be why it showed up there and not on xbox one?

    It should show up in your purchase history on your Xbox. Although I was looking at the Irish store earlier and the movie is not available to rent until October

    I use unblock-us.com, so could have been running a VPN.

    It did show as a purchase. I ended up with xbox support. No explanation was made as to why I could buy it, but they refunded me.

    Shame, I really wanted to see it.

    The store is cross platform but Region restricted. So you could buy from your laptop, but not watch it on your Xbox. Or to put it another way, if your Xbox was in the U.S., you could buy from the Irish store and watch it there seeing as your console was in the appropriate region
