Can you not change your region on the web version of the store to UK or US ?
I do this for other purchases of games if they are cheaper in another region. I have to buy a voucher for the region I want to get the game from, I.e buy a $50 voucher and they email you a code to redeem the amount. Log in and change my region to US and simply enter the code. The $50 goes onto my account and then go to the store, choose the game and buy with account funds. The game downloads and runs perfectly on the xbox

Frontier Developments are only accepting credit cards. If I buy form lets say the Irish store since they use the euro there awell, I need an Irish post adress. Same goes for German or UK.
If they would accept Microsoft currency the problem would be solved indeed.

Isn't this a question that should be directed to Microsoft? The XboxLive sites for different countries aren't anything to do with FD.
Well, Microsoft tells me that the publisher is responsible in what stores games are offered.
Also, David Braden replied on my questions on twitter that he is looking into it. Hope I can download this preview soon.
Do not trust David Braden, he is an impostor. However if it is David Braben who has said, do not worry you, he will find a solution for you

Ok. I stand corrected
Good luck. Hope it gets sorted soon.
Thank you.
Though I do have my doubts. That other early access game on XboxOne isnt showing up in our store as well. Could be coincidence though, we are a small market, easily forgotten. Even though we have all the big data servers from Google, Microsoft and Apple in our country.

Lol.. my mistake. . Otherwise I have to wait till release. Think that will be still in 2015 right? Hopes up!
Hey there, I'm in Poland and I too can't buy Elite on the Xbox Store. However, the other game on the preview/early access (The Long Dark) is available here. It is indeed up to the publisher for which region they want to release the game and it's kinda baffling why Elite was restricted only to some countries, especially that other Xbox games from Frontier are available worldwide. Maybe it's just something is messed up with their submission to the Xbox Store and it's not intended to be like that.
