Hello guys,

So I've been using game pass for like 2 months now. Seeing the Black Friday discounts, i thought I'd get the 6 month subscriptions with 50% off. The problem is that the Xbox/Microsoft Store doesn't accept even the Microsoft Wallet amount i have. I purchased a game from the same wallet amount, but I'm unable to purchase/extend my game pass subscription using it (says i should contact microsoft technical support). I plan on stacking my subscription to at least a year. Lemme know if any you have a work around.

yeah i dunno if this is new or happened from start but i tried getting that 1$ gold for one month offer and even though i had 20$ in credit they asked for a credit card, i even supplied them with one but they still didnt let me get the 1$ gold :( saying the same error as you.. even went behind vpn to purchase but same error.

Hmmm.... It is the same problem. I think the issue is that since it has recurrent payments it needs a backup payment method, which needs to be US based. Will try to find a solution and share if anything works.

In the meantime, there was a good deal on cdkeys and i got 3 months for $21. Not as good as the deal Microsoft are offering, but still better than paging full price.

I want to cry right now. Will buy 1 more year of Gamepass.


Edit: Just realised that you are talking abt XBL Gold. I wanted Gamepass not Live.

Even though the sale is over. I didnt have any issues buying the 6 month gamepass.. and i used the Xbox cash that i have... maybe its an address issue.. im using my brothers US address as my billing address and have had no issues.

I faced a similar issue pretty recently, was unable to purchase the 1 buck deal for the gamepass, having more than enough store credit. Contacted the microsoft chat support and they actually made the purchase on my account in just 5 minutes.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
