Doesn't seem to be on sale in any other regions - this is the cheapest way to get GoW4 digitally. The standard version is HKD$209.50, and the ultimate is HKD$384.50.

To purchase it, you'll need to purchase HKD Xbox Live gift cards - I've used Play-Asia and OffGamers before. You can't buy the exact amount - for example, for standard, you'll need to buy HKD$300 for $53.77 and have some HKD credit left over for your next game.

You may need to activate a VPN link to HK to finalise the purchase on the Xbox store - I always do just as a precaution, but I know some people have not and it's still worked.

Xbox One accounts and games are region free (unlike PS4 games), and you can buy across several regions without any issues. Yes, things were different in the 360 days - no, nothing bad will happen to your account.

Remember by purchasing the digital copy of GoW4, you also get GoW1-3+Judgement sent through as XB:Live codes, and you get GoW4 as a "cross-play" title - meaning you can play on PC or Xbox!

    Or $54 delivered locally for a physical copy, including the DLC as well

    Have to really want the digital version to go through these hoops…

      Digital is the way of the future… who wants a pile of disks!

      (BTW - the DLC is just GOW1-3+Judgement on Backwards Compatibility - you get that when you purchase digitally too).

      Dunno why you're commenting though, you "Could've just scrolled past and let people decide if they want to pay more for local stock."

      Is true but I was under the impression that only the digital copy included the PC version.

      • MynyMouqe on 04/11/2016 - 14:13

        Yup, by purchasing the digital copy you get it as a "cross play" title - so you can play it on PC or on Xbox.

      HKD 209 is only AUD 35
      And you will receive the 4 GOW codes too.

      • bchliu on 04/11/2016 - 15:10

        Yeah.. $6 to $1 exchange rate almost at the moment. How did the OP get $53.77 AUD?

        • cloudzhou on 04/11/2016 - 15:14

          He is buying a HKD300 gift card, since the Aussie credit card does not work on HK store

  • cheepo on 04/11/2016 - 13:56

    Would have been a great deal if it was the Ultimate Edition with the season pass.

    • MynyMouqe on 04/11/2016 - 14:05

      They do have the Ultimate on sale as well for 50% off - still works out brilliant value if you're a regular purchaser of digital games as the HK region is regularly one of the cheapest (eg. Forza Horizon 3, etc.)

  • misticknight on 04/11/2016 - 14:21

    I tried this you need a Hong Kong address from what I can see? Anyone have any recommendations to bullshit that.

    • MynyMouqe on 04/11/2016 - 14:35

      Just use the Australian Consulate General - 23/F, Harbour Centre, 25 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Or any random hotel.

  • cloudzhou on 04/11/2016 - 14:32

    The price calculated in AUD is wrong, it's actually only AUD35
    And you don't need VPN and gift card, your Australia credit card should just work.

    This price is to compensate the China Win10 Store pulling off the Gow4 due to the Government censorship sh*t. That's why the discount only applies in HK.

    • MynyMouqe on 04/11/2016 - 14:36

      The price is for a HKD$300 card. Aussie credit cards don't work on the HK store - they work on other some other regions, but have traditionally not on the HK store (hence needing to buy gift cards).

      • cloudzhou on 04/11/2016 - 14:44

        They blocked the Aussie card now?
        I use both my China credit card and Aussie card to shop HK store, that's why I haven't noticed the Aussie card is not working anymore.

        But I am sure, VPN is not required to buy X1 games.
        However, to redeem the GOW1 and GOW3 download codes, HK VPN is required, since these two XBOX360 games are region locked.

    • ruddiger7 on 04/11/2016 - 15:00

      So is the PC version not included as a result?

      • cloudzhou on 04/11/2016 - 15:11
        +1

        PC version is included, this is the XPA digital version. All 4 GOW download codes are also included.

        By the way, China Store is selling forza Horizon 3 for AUD40, which is the XPA digital version too.

      • bchliu on 04/11/2016 - 15:11

        "Supports Xbox Play Anywhere: yours to play on both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC at no additional cost."

      No good.. The Credit card verification needs to match back to the registered address in Australia, which is different to my HK address. Damn.. I should have applied for one when I was there (debit at least). Looked at buying the XB Credit - has this note:

      "This product is applicable for HK Xbox Live only (It is NOT redeemable for Xbox Live accounts created in other countries than the Hong Kong)"

      Will this work with my Aussie XB Account?

      • cloudzhou on 04/11/2016 - 17:00

        My Xbox Live account is an Aussie account, but I used my China Credit card and paid it successfully.
        I guess the only option you have now is to purchase the giftcard from Playasia. This will work no matter where your account is.

  • shadowarrior on 04/11/2016 - 15:20

    So 35 for GOW4… and I think we have the previous versions locked. I have 360 disks for all the other versions anyway so am fine with that.
    Is Forza Horizon 3 any good?
    Can someone confirm AU credit card is working in China and HK stores?

    • Smigit on 04/11/2016 - 15:32

      Forza Horizons 3 is fantastic, and I'm generally not a huge racing game fan.

      • shadowarrior on 04/11/2016 - 15:49

        Thanks, looks like a purchase then.
        Wonder if they let me use Paypal to buy from HK and China stores.

        • MynyMouqe on 04/11/2016 - 17:58

          No, you need to use a gift card on the HK store - hence the info in the first post.

  • Agamand on 04/11/2016 - 16:39

    no luck with paypal or credit card

    • MynyMouqe on 04/11/2016 - 17:57

      That is why you need to use a gift card… like the instructions I put in the post…

  • ChillBro on 04/11/2016 - 19:02

    How much would I need to pay for Forza Horizon 3 and GoW 4 for PC? This looks like an amazing deal.

    • shadowarrior on 04/11/2016 - 20:11

      $AUD 137 with some spare credit left over.

  • theland on 04/11/2016 - 20:42

    Create a HK PayPal account and pay the bill with 28degree.i just bought my GOW 4 in this way.

    • shadowarrior on 04/11/2016 - 21:26

      Don't you have to wait after you create a new paypal account?

    • ChillBro on 04/11/2016 - 23:10

      How much after fees?

  • Hsinking on 05/11/2016 - 16:51

    I just found this infor myself and tried,everything works fine,I bought the gift card from play asia and received the gift card code stragiht away,applied it to my Aussie account and bought the Ulti edition GOW 4,now it is being downloaded,under my AUSSIE account.
