Here comes the great 'it's not fraud' debate. Whatever side of the fence you sit on EA are discounting Battlefront to £29.99 on the UK Origin Store or $23.99 on the Mexican Origin Store (using a VPN) which is about £16.13p in British money. Hola is the most popular VPN to use as a free chrome plugin though there are other VPN's available.
Quite frankly the latter price is probably the right price for the limited number of maps the game has shipped with.
Hope this helps some of you folks save a few quid.
Here's the link for the Chrome Hola add on https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unlimited-free-vpn-hola/gkojfkhlekighikafcpjkiklfbnlmeio?hl=en
You can disable Hola once you get through to the payment page. Don't disable it before or you'll likely be redirected back to the UK store with UK prices ;)

1. Download a VPN like Tunnelbear and install it. NOTE: Other VPNs are available! :wink:
2. Once TunnelBear is ready to use, select "Mexico" and turn TB to "On."
3. After 15-20 seconds, it will switch your connection to the VPN. NOTE: If you need to check this, use whereismyip.net, etc. to confirm the VPN has worked.
4. Visit Origin.com and put Battlefront in the basket. Then click on your basket to view the contents.
5. Once you're satisfied you have the right edition, etc., simply click through to the next page where it will ask you to log into your Origin account.
6. One final confirmation page and you should reach the checkout with options for paypal, etc. At this point, TURN OFF THE VPN! Once you're sure it's off (15-20 seconds for TunnelBear), click through to the payment page.
7. Finally, pay with paypal, etc. and it should all be straightforward from there. No other steps!
If I missed a step, my apologies. Hope this helps!

Does this mean I have to buy the DLC this way as well? The deluxe edition is only 3 dollars more as well :smiley:

Can your keys be revoked if you use a VPN? I've seen a lot of VPN deals (Mexican sites, Nuuvem) but I have no idea how risky it is.

Does using a VPN to play this slow down game connection? So will I get more lag? I'm guessing i can't access this on my normal account after paying through VPN?
