Better price than previously still can be found cheaper using encryption data.
Care to explain?
Well, we wait for the official explanation. I will offer that this was a speech to text fail.

Hello, it is easily called using vpn software as the user sets the account say to a Brazil location purchasing obviously Brazil variant than once enabled; sets account back to US That process has been around for years.
The Gold to GPU conversion is still better too.
He means “Location Data” not encryption data :laugh:
No I meant encryption. It is wrong, technically or not and should not be cordoned. Just my feelings about such actions.
There’s better deals on CDKeys. Currently one month is 7.69
" NOTE: THIS CODE CAN ONLY BE USED WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHER MEMBERSHIPS ACTIVE ON YOUR XBOX LIVE ACCOUNT."
Then they have one for 8.99 that is tied to an anniversary edition game that sells for $100, so it’s an attachment and might run into problems.
Then they have trials and others that, again, only work with no active subs.
You also have zero clue where those codes came from or what country they are actually tied in, and I have ordered from cdkeys where they said it would activate and it fails. The answer they gave then? “Sorry, we can’t assist with that.”
Same
YMMV I guess. Ive been using cdkeys for years and ive run into zero issues. I buy one month’s worth of gamepass, wait for it to expire, then buy another code. And in fact, ive been burned on woot before with bad codes so.
Yeah, I’ve used CDKeys and Eneba to re-up my Gold/GPU for several years without issue. The last time I did it (August of 2023), I got 18 3-month Gold codes to extend my GPU to 2026 for <$5/mo because I was afraid prices would go up overall after the Core rebrand. Turns out they did.
Eneba has 3-month Core US codes right now that end up being $8-9/mo after conversion to GPU. I’m good for a while, but I wouldn’t even look at anything that is more than $10/mo (this deal is $11.50/mo).
I’ve been looking for a similar thing for Sony’s online premium. It used to be you could save a few bucks via Amazon, but now you can just pay a premium for a generic Sony gift card which might work for the psplus service, and everything else is ‘out of stock’.
Elsewhere, it’s shady as hell, where you have to create another account on your box, apply the key, do some other stuff, then go back to your own account, and hopefully the code works, but don’t ever delete the ‘temporary’ account.
game pass core converts to Game Pass Ult at a rate of 3 to 2 (months)
The deal is find the cheapest codes for game pass core.
Use the codes to get you up to two-and-some-change years.
Then in Xbox store there’s a spot where you can sign up for ultimate for $1. When you do that is when it converts it to the rate of three to two.
“try out ultimate for a couple of days” I think the trial period the XBUltimate promo states is like 15 days or something.
But that’s what triggers the conversion from core to ultimate
Bought 3 x 12 mo Xbox Game Pass Core = $116.97
Bought Ultimate for $17
That converted to 24mo of Ultimate.
$133.96 / 24 =
$5.59 per month for XBox Game Pass Ultimate. This includes PC Pass Ultimate for same XBL acct.
