So I want to buy a game in the Microsoft Store to play it on Xbox One but it doesn't work because it means I have to submit a payment option. I just have credit on my Microsoft account and my bank is also deposited and still it asks for a valid payment option. If I try to buy the game I have to add a credit card. But as I said, I've already added my bank and enough Xbox credit for the game but it still doesn't work.
So there's nothing at all about direct debit at microsoft, so you can generally forget that.
what I can advise you to do is paypal. I use that myself and works great.
and yes you unfortunately need, even if you buy something for 0 euro a valid payment option, microsoft is not exactly clever.
You can register for free with paypal and create a free online account in a short time, which you can then easily link to your bank account and also to your microsoft account and then you can shop comfortably.
Jo already added my PayPal. Thank you. Yes, it's kind of made really stupid. I don't really like Microsoft or Windows in general. But just wanted to play a certain game on Xbox one. I wanted to buy the game with the credit I had added, but it doesn't work. Well, it should work with PayPal now.
For me it is exactly the other way around, I do not like Microsoft but Sony, because they are not even satisfied with what I have just advised you, they even want various numbers from your ID card so that you can prove that you are 18. Totally exaggerated.
It is certainly not a one game but one for the 360 or original Xbox, am I right?
Yes, a normal Xbox game even
No. At PS you only have to specify this with perso regarding PS NOW but in the store you can buy everything as normal with the PS cards without storing any payment methods at all. Sony is much better there.
Okay, as you can see I didn't have it in my head.
I think I wanted to register paypal on my ps4 and then there was the perso.
And Microsoft had also asked for the address etc. Before adding a payment method. That is rather an exaggeration. Was because of billing address but what if you buy it digital anyway
Yes, exactly at PayPal you had to do that but it is more because of PayPal and they want to be on the safe side that it really is you
Well, I don't have to do that at microsoft, because I find sony a bit annoying.
As I said. With Sony you can simply pay without PayPal. Simply with the PS cards and that is much more pleasant than having to enter something extra
Ps cards are not mine, but each one is his, isn't it.
You can pay as you like but if it's only limited to PayPal or credit card like Xbox, which I didn't know before or other online shops sometimes I find it really annoying xD
Yes I know what you mean.
and you always want to have the invoice address in case you want to have the invoice sent to you by post.
Also. What should I do with the 10 euro that I have unnecessarily in the Microsoft Store? XD
Keep the can if you want to buy a game there again one day.
Yes, it doesn't seem to be the case with every game that I can only pay with credit or PayPal, right? This is probably because it is an old game from the very first Xbox
I do not know that.
That is the explanation.
At that time there was no credit on the 360 but so-called points. Not even that on the original Xbox.
The only thing left was payment by credit card. Paypal was added later. This has remained the same in the store, despite the introduction of credit.
Why only Microsoft knows.
Oh okay, that explains everything. Thank you. They are just too lazy to adapt to the old games
No only for 360 and original Xbox titles. See my other comment.
One games can of course only be paid with credit without having to provide an alternative source of payment.
Yes it will be. That was never changed or adjusted. It's annoying, especially since the question often arises here and always leads to confusion.
Hope you change that with the next generation.
Okay well then I can use the credit for an Xbox one game. I also wanted to ask something if it's okay. So I have gta 4 and it is playable on Xbox one. Only the game looks very blurry from a long distance. It still looks good up close. It looked even better on the 360 itself. How should I best adjust the settings of the console, in-game and TV so that it looks normal? 😅
You won't be able to change anything in the settings. However, the game is also available as a one version. It looks a whole lot better there.
So if you just get it in the Microsoft Store gta 4, does it look better on Xbox one than the CD version?
If you previously had the 360 version and then bought the One version, then yes.
Okay, thank you
