DO NOT order through Origin

[TheWolf]

Having learnt my lesson now twice on games ordered through Origin, DO NOT order the physical copy of your game through them. They don't ship until a day or two after it's in the stores and they mail out by the slowest USPS service possible, 3-7 'working' days.

Don't be tempted. Origin is fine for downloaded PC games but you're royally screwed if you order a physical game through them, you won't get it until sometimes two weeks after the release date.

That sucks. I recommend Amazon if you don't already use them for other games. I've never had an issue and always get things on release day, and sometimes earlier.

For amazon, always pre-order at least 2 weeks prior to release day.. Last year I changed pre-order from PES to FIFA with a weeks notice and didn't get the game till 5 days after release, same happened with a few CD's also!
Otherwise it's brilliant and no issues.

Yes use a VPN and trick your computer into thinking you live in America.

Then run origin in OFFLINE mode until Friday.

don't suppose we can play online with the vpn hack

thanks for quick reply, could you tell me how to actually do this? i am a bit new to it all!

There isn't much of a quick explaination.

Best thing to do is google it and use flyvpn.
