Is that as simple as just changing location in the settings?

Simplest way is...

Go to http://www.xbox.com
Click region setting in the bottom left corner (It'll probably say English (United Kingdom) on it)
Pick Japan
Type Zoo Tycoon in the search bar
It should come up as 0 Yen, if not, sign in to your account.
Click the blue bar to purchase (not the one that says 'Xbox Live' in it)
It'll be added to your download queue.

Cheers, I'll grab that later.

Good tip, cheers MHTL!

Would the same sort of thing apply to other countries? How many other freebies could we be missing out on?

Usually it's just if a title, for whatever reason, isn't available in a particular region. Not sure why Watch Dogs isn't in Japan, but hey. The only time it's happened before IIRC is when Kalimba was offered instead of Sleeping Dogs in Germany.

Thanks for that dude, that's an awesome tip! Downloading now, I didn't see any of my credit card information around the Japanese text so fingers crossed I've not accidentally spent £45 :lol:

I did it through the Xbone in the end. Worked a treat!

Thanks again for pointing this out.

I thought the same :lol:

The first time I tried I ended up getting the demo :fp:

The second time I did it on my phone and the Google Translate app translated the page to English to make everything super obvious. Would recommend.

If you do it on the Xbone itself you can have English text on the Japanese store.

What's the best chat headset out there? I was just going to pick up the official xbone one but most of the reviews say that they break super easily. Is this the case? How does the Turtle Bay one compare? Since it's just chat that I want, it doesn't need to be fancy. Just comfortable and reliable.

I've got an official one, white to match my S, and think it's great.

Very comfy, much better than the cheap 3rd party one I had prior, and not had any problems with it. I can't see it breaking as long as you look after it reasonably well enough.

Yeah my OG headset works from my Day 1 X1. I don't use it much tho as I've a better set I got for xmas.

Excellent ID@Xbox sale this week, some real bargains. Borrowing the TA link again since Major Nelson never includes prices.

I think I'll finally take a punt on Hitman!

Yep, I've got a shortlist of nine things I'm thinking of buying.

My Live runs out tomorrow. I have a deal on the dashboard for 3 months at £8.99... If I wait until it expires will I likely be offered a better deal on a year?
