I've tried purchasing games via Amazon before and I get denied because of an NZ issued visa cc.

You can top up a paypal account and pay with that.

But i agree, look at all the effort we have to go to, to not get ripped off.

i used my NZ cc on amazon, just make sure billing address is your youshop address.

As for premium off of origin this is $71nz . This aint premium, and how do you change your origin account to US based?

I already use amazon and youshop, took me all of 30 seconds to do it.

Downloading: Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United States and who have a U.S. billing address.


You think this won't be a problem? When Origin realises you aren't actually in USA?

You really think Origin are going to filter through the 87234650293456 pre-orders and go.

I preordered via amazon July 22nd for $50.99 after a discount code was applied, with a US address. We'll see if they charge it successfully or not I guess.

I was thinking more that Origin may realise you're in NZ (via IP or whatever) and just not let you download it.

Also if you want to get around amazon's card restrictions you could just buy amazon gift cards, then apply that card credit to your account, then use that credit to purchase it.

No issues that way iirc, with a US address they will never check

Yeah I will, but I don't think I'm going to pay US$70 for it. Will wait until the price drops, cancelled the preorder and did the amazon thing.

I'm going to get it up front just because I have the money for once.

Also won't have to double up on the assignments if I buy it later. Jumping the line will be useful too...

I had a dodgy eastern european key for Sim City. Had no issues, well except for the game itself, but like you know....

Related to *juice*. The Orz like *sauce*, which they seem to acquire through killing: "After the *dancing*, Orz think you will make good *special sauce*. Maybe even for other Orz *party*." It would seem this is likely to be something sinister. The Orz apparently wish those who take part in *parties* to enjoy the *sauce*, as in the above quote, or in their parting words from random encounters: "Do not forget to *enjoy the sauce*."
