Generally that's what people do to buy from the US store but hey, my fault for trying to help someone.

Anyway. I use my Halifax Visa debit that's registered with Amazon UK. But I also have a billing address of some place in Oregon. So when I buy from Amazon US, I just switch my billing address. Usually a couple of mins later and I have the PSN code. Sign into my US account, redeem the code and the money is in my US PSN account. Then buy the game, and done.

For sure, you can do that. But if he has a credit card with a US billing address he can use that on the US PSN instead of having to go through Amazon. Either way, he should be well aware of how he can get the game now.:))

What's a VPN?

Virtual private network

Using something like flyvpn, like I am using the free trail option

Allowed me to trick origin into thinking I was from Mexico so got FIFA cheaper and preloaded early.

Then today set VPN to Korea which means it's released there so origin let's you play
 
Pre-ordered today digitally with the 10 percent discount with early access...it matches what it will cost me at retail either from a online retailer or shop.The good old tesco and Asda deals aren't around like they were on the older formats and new consoles are just a excuse for retailers to bend us over and do us up the tail pipe...gone are the 35 quid prices pre economy collapse and lower vat...game pricing got sensible for a few years.

I'd go down the buying via Amazon usa route but I can't be bothered with any complications and footie games always offer enough bang for your buck compared to a lot of modern games that are generally disposable within a few weeks...I don't mind waiting till the early hours of Friday morning and I've got a hour on early acess left and the pes demo to tie me over till Friday.

As for defending I've always liked it in Fifa since they went 360 and never really had a issue with it..if anything it's always reminded me of the iss days on the n64...for me if my defender is static and the ball carrier has momentum it should be easier for them to turn me..I don't use the jockey button much and find the analog stick and a little bit of dash used sensitively allows me to track,go to to toe or nicely time a tackle when I want..just a case of being really gentle with the stick and matching the steps of the ball carrier..this is something I've liked in Fifa for a few years but maybe I'm just very good at games..I play on the higher levels,I go manual and I do all my pressing with stick and dash control,I've never been a auto tackler.

I've also quite like acess,never been a massive ea fan but battlefield for free for a month has been worth the 3.99 and I've even had a chance to sample madden 14 something I haven't played since the mega drive days.

I hope the full game isn't too different from the demo. Really enjoying it at the moment.
Couple of things though. Wasn't it advertised that when you hit the bar that the goal frame moved a bit? (not a biggy, just haven't noticed it)
Also, what happened to multiple players jumping together at cross balls? It seems to have reverted back to 2 players contesting crosses
 
The deals are there though if your a PC gamer and your certainly going to get the optimum Fifa experience if your running a modern graphics card..I just use my PC mainly for music production and work and with kids and commitments don't have the time playing around with drivers and tweaking for the best experience on my rig...I just like the plug and play experience of a console now although I do envy the visual splender a PC affords...Fifa this year certainly warrants it.

The goal raises from the floor bro if you clatter it hard enough..haven't payed to much attention to how many players contest crosses though..certainly noticed a few go up...I don't imagine you have more then two players ever been that bunched together..would seem like overkill if the whole back line went up at once.

Wouldn't say the final game is massively different,just more polish and I noticed improvements in attacking variation,ai and error..subjective though and some folks feel different.

If your PC is half decent then you're missing out by not using it to play FIFA. It looks great and you get the potential for modding.

Messing about with drivers is largely a thing of the past and FIFA has very few graphical options to play with, so it's not far off 'plug-and-play'.
 
Just gone through the checkout on Amazon and it says it's going to take up to 2 hours to process, did anyone else have this? A bit confused because my card is UK but i had to put a US address for the billing address, surely banks would decline this transaction?

Usually that's no problem. I, too, have been using this method for years using my (german) Mastercard with a fake US address and it's never lead to any problems with my bank whatsoever. Dunno why it's taking two hours for you to get through processing, though.

Cheers for the heads up,been a while since I gamed on the PC and I will certainly give it a whirl.

i had the same issue on amazon while checking out, instead of confirming the purchase it was just looping on a loading screen. after maybe five minutes, it put me through to the same point that you got to. oddly enough i got the code about two minutes later, i was a little worried it was going to be declined because of the address issue though.

Are you Suuuuuuuuuupertalk new nick? Because bad things always happened with Suuuuuuuuuuuuupertalk. We miss the guy stories...
 
weird that its asking for proof, amazon didn't have any issues with me putting oregon zoo as my address. i used my debit card so i'm not sure if that makes any difference
 
I used a Co-op Smile credit card that could be why, maybe i should contact the bank and ask them to allow the transaction.

What bank are you with?
 
I've used a debit card and not been asked for proof etc. Play Asia is probably your best bet now.

Damn! I actually didn't go through with it after reading the comments at the bottom of the help site you pointed me to. People there had been complaining Amazon US had been intervening and asking for proof of address be faxed to them. Seems they have been onto this for a while.

Maybe Play-Asia or other sites will be less scrupulous?
 
Play-Asia looks like it may be the ticket, it sells gift cards for all different currencies. Thanks for the help guys, can't wait to get my FIFA 15 on!
