Hi all, I've loaded 3 years XLG. When trying to load the 1 month XGPU it keeps giving an error something went wrong contact support.

I didn't take the extra month for activating recurring billing.

I processed everything on console. Should I maybe try on pc?

Probably a regional error. One of the 3 is in the wrong region : Account, Gold or GamePass.

Normally get this when people buy cheap codes online only to find it not for your area. Still works as Gold subscription, just can't convert it to another regions GamePass

Well I bought all 3 codes from cdkeys. All Stipulated that they are MEA versions which supports SA.

@Mike Hoxbig thanks for the advice. I did the conversion online and it worked.

Now no need to worry for 3 years.

Aaah, missed that part. Did not know you can do it on console as I only ever did it via the web.

I am tempted to buy 12 month Gold and top up my GamePass with 8 months to bring it back to 36. @ R590 for 8 months, its still a bargain

Hold on - 12 months only gives you 4 months, no?

Ha, your 12 x R100 = R1200 ; R1200/8 =R150 confused the heck out of me, but now I get what you are saying. When I signed up in October/November I (maybe erroneously) recall that the above 12:4 gold:ultimate ratio rang true.

I think they changed it when they changed Gold subscription price to R120pm... they back tracked the subscription on push back from community, but never fixed the GamePass conversion... Sneaky bastards

Wanted to play that, its not in SA so I moved on to Skyrim.

Edit: Was also the 1st ever game I got on 360 second was Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Now I cant even get either :(

Only available on disc via 360 locally. Started playing it a few weeks ago after installing and trying Morrowind. It's a brilliant game. Even 15 years later

There has to be a line on how many hurdles one is prepared to jump over. If they wanna be so f ed up to lock payments on geo regeon they can shove it. Besides if I really wanna play the game on console that bad I can buy a PS3 pre-owned. (Not to mention I both have it on Steam and its in SA PC Gamepass)

Imma gonna call it a day.

Sidenote: Oblivion is also not on SA Sony online store so its not a Xbox only thing.

Back in the day a lot of my games were bought on the UK account as that was the only way we could get live in SA, when we finally got SA services I could only convert some.

At least Microsoft allow you to convert some games. I stayed/worked in France/Germany for 3 years, China for 3 and AU & New Zealand for 5. Every time I move country, Sony made me create a new account cause you cant change account region.

So my PS games are spread over 4 different accounts. (Also I lost my German account cause I have no access to the email used back then and cant remember my password)

Are you serious? Wow yup my MS account has been British, US and South African without much of an issue, just some games were region locked. It worked great when I was in the UK could get games easily, that old 360 now remains untouched as it's also got the TMNT arcade game on it.
