lets be honest, £20 is a steal for EA Access, but if you can get it cheaper then why not hey!
Change your region to Hungary, use this address
Vigyázó Ferenc utca 5., 1051 Budapest, Hungary (or any other address in Hungary)
make sure you use a credit card that wont freak out at you using it with a different billing address, I use the post office one and they don't care, it is as easy as making a cup of coffee

£20 in the UK, how many members do you think are aware that is is available cheaper with a simple region switch? Ergo a deal

For some reason, people seem to hate these region change deals, but heat added. Thanks for sharing, OP.

That and this has been pointed out on a fair few threads before (although not formally in a deal post) :stuck_out_tongue:

As with many things on HDUK, depends who posts them.

Ah, I see. I've never seen it before. I don't know why I never considered it could be bought through the store by changing your region.

I love them personally I think if you are willing to put the effort in the savings are worth it I went with the Metal gear solid Japan deal and got that cheap with dishonoured as well (bought the credit from play-asia)

Heat added. Everyone is fine with USA psn stuff or using a vpn for pc games. Cheaper the better.

Always found that a bit odd really. PC I think people are a bit meh about it, but on PS nobody cares even though you need a different psn account :stuck_out_tongue: Yeah you will do unless you use a card without them. Yeah its been there from the beginning - Hungary is one of the easier ones as I notice transactions within the EU don't seem to care too much about addresses, try buying outside of the EU and debit/credit cards don't seem to like it
It has been this price for months, and has been pointed out in multiple threads that include EA access (from memory) that Hungary is generally the cheapest way to go about EA access. That said the reason this isn't hot is probably why it wasn't posted to begin with - nobody on here seems to like jumping through the hoops for whatever reason.

I did this for EA access and rare replay. I never had to use a Hungary address though, I just used my regular address though I think I did have to mess about with my postcode because Hungary doesn't use the same format.
Did get a non sterling transaction fee each time but was pretty small (less than 50p).
