UPDATE 2018/11/09:

Red Dead Redemption 2 is now also part of the discounted games! You can also get it for 50.99 USD!

- Red Dead Redemption 2 (50.99$)

Some of you already bought Red Dead Redemption 2 or other games via MTCGame. Unfortunately RDR2 has now been drastically increased in price, so you can't make a snap anymore. But there are many other preorder games available at a good price. Below I have listed a few examples that came to my mind.

Important: You will get the key on release and not before. If you can wait for it, you can save money. In addition, there may be no preorder bonuses included. As for RDR2 they were included, but I can't guarantee it. To redeem the keys (because only the US keys are cheap) a VPN is possible needed if you live outside the US. But you can redeem the key in your browser, at the console, in the app or in any other way, where you can use VPN. If you still have a question about the language of a US key: The games are all region-free and you decide yourself in which store you want to download the game. In the German Store the game (if available) is in german, in the US Store english, etc.

I have only linked Standard Editions here. But there are often also Deluxe Editions etc. available for just a few bucks more. Just search for it!

UPDATE 2018/11/07:

Icy made some investigation and found out a bit more about this:

I have been doing some reading in Russian forums and looks like since last summer, Microsoft decided to completely stop selling Russian gift cards and they don't plan to ever bring them back(this was the reply of Xbox support in Russia to one user). The reason for this can be that, even Russians were using gift cards to buy games because it was cheaper this way and the gift cards could be easily found below face value. Another theory is that Russians don't really use them so much to give a gift to someone and they are being used as money-saving exploit instead by foreigners. Someone else stated that Microsoft did this to fight back gift card scams in Russia. Whatever the reason, websites like Nilt which made their main profit off of Russian gift cards, went under because suddenly there was no supply.

Any websites at the moment still selling Russian gift cards, are selling them way over face value and no one is dumb enough to buy them. Russians are already reporting that even in physical stores they are going out of stock and they never return.

Microsoft support also said that the Russian gift cards that are not redeemed will expire eventually and if you have a gift card that can't be redeemed then you will have to speak to the store you bought it from to claim a refund. No one knows for sure if it is true that the Russian gift cards will expire at some point because some users already reported that they tried to redeem theirs and they worked. But one thing is for sure, no more Russian gift cards.

You guys may have noticed, that Microsoft already started to change their own games to USD like Forza Horizon 4, Gears 4, Sea of Thieves, ... and also some ID@Xbox and Arcade Games. You should better hurry to spend all your RUB cards while you still can. I did this myself earlier today and it worked. But for how long?

Some may have noticed that the price for some games in Russia is displayed in the range of a few cents. That is of course strange - but that's not my fault ;) Microsoft has - for some reason - changed some games to USD in the Russian store. But since this is only the case for a handful of games and not in general, I don't want to change anything. I'm not sure if this is a mistake or if it will be the same for all games in the future. But why would Russians pay in dollars in their store?

Anyway, I'll wait and see and you shouldn't be surprised.

Hi there!

As some of you may have noticed, it is usually not possible to buy from Argentina anymore, except you are a local. Locals can of course help you getting gift cards or gift game keys, but they have to pay 21% taxes onto the shown price since some months now. As the shown price on this MS store does not reflect the real situation and makes comparisons very hard, I've decided to change the price to an all-inclusive price, meaning the shown price here includes the 21% already. This does only apply for the calculated price and not for the "origin price with origin currency".

Sometime soon I will try to add a transparency marker like (+21%) after the shown price, to make it more clear to everyone.

Another interesting fact is that publishers increased prices for AAA-Games from Turkey by up to 100%. Sometimes even more! Since some weeks Microsoft blocked purchases on the turkish store and has deactivated the API to validate/verify/generate new gift card keys, which you were able to purchase from retailers before. Now, as the system is back online and purchases are enabled again, prices are very expensive. Almost every current or upcoming Blockbuster-Game from Turkey is much more expensive than the US or european price. And that's expensive!

Maybe you can grab some bargains still, but you need to hurry. Other games will follow and prices will increase even for smaller games.

Great news! MTCGame is just selling turkish gift cards again! They got stock and you are able to use it to buy games from the turkish store. Floxer has just tested this on his own, redeemed and purchased a game and can confirm it works.

Even if the cards are a bit more expensive than the face value, the price should still be much lower compared to the next possible country. So you're definately save some money.

Have fun making some bargains!

UPDATE: The offer has expired. The price raised.

Another big/great news is that they currently offer Red Dead Redemption 2 for just 47.99 USD! You need to purchase the "US" Version of the game from MTCGame and you will receive a code on friday, once it is released. But remember: You won't get any preorder DLC. In case you are okay with that, it's a great deal!

Red Dead Redemption 2 (47.99$) (Digital Key)

UPDATE: Push! This is still a valid and good way to get your games simple, easy and cheap.

Our partners over at MTCGame are currently selling US game codes below face value, because you will get a 15% discount on US and EU codes. The discount is already applied. All prices alread include tax, so the shown price is the total price.

Thus you can get actual Blockbusters without much effort, easy to pay by PayPal or credit card.

How do the get the codes?

Simple. They just buy the games wit hthe gift option, which will lead to a redeemable key which will be given to you, if you buy one. But remember that you will have to use a VPN if you're not currently located in the US. But many VPN services do offer a free test period which you can use to redeem the key. Usually US servers are always part of any free test period.

How about Pre-Order Games?

Since one is not able to gift games which are still pre-order, I would not get these games early. You probably will receive your key later as you'd expect. But thats just my guess.

Some examples:

• FIFA 19 (Standard Edition) for 53.99$
• FIFA 19 (Champions Edition) for 67.99$
• FIFA 19 (Ultimate Edition) for 84.99$
• COD Black Ops 4 (Digital Deluxe) for 99.99$
• Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Standard Edition) for 53.99$
• Assassin's Creed Odyssey (GOLD Edition) for 79.81$
• Forza Horizon 4 Standard Edition for 53.99$
• Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition for 84.99$
• and many more

Maybe you can make some nice deals and save a few bucks. Good luck!
