I love regional pricing. Just got Lies of P Digital Deluxe Edition for $10
I’m buying via Turkey, it’s quite convoluted to set up but well worth it.
IIRC I used this guide with Google Translate: https://www.mydealz.de/deals/anleitung-turkische-kreditkarte-o-verifizierung-zb-netflix-uhd-fur-6eur-statt-1799eur-auch-fur-spotify-psn-steam-epic-games-u-xbox-2140720
What you essentially do is set up a Turkish bank account via bank that requires local phone number, like FUPS. There are paid services that forward SMS with one time codes that are require to finalize registration.
In Turkey you can pick up a blank physical debit card that you then link to that account. That’s the shadiest part as you have to do that through some russian marketplaces with rather limited payment options. Once that’s done you can top up this card via Revolut because it allows transfers straight to card.
Once that’s done change your Microsoft account region to Turkey, link card and wait a couple of days (region change can lag a it). You don’t need a VPN at any point.
Please do not do this. Steam got rid of regional pricing in Turkey recently and prices went quite up, hitting Turkish gamers. If enough people exploit this and Microsoft gets rid of regional pricing, it’ll hurt Turkish gamers the most.
AAA just means stay away and don’t buy.
