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!

Yeah it is locked and only Polish and Russian languages to select from... it was bad idea after all...
Time to learn new language...

£18 for deluxe edition thanks

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?

Can anyone confirm this works please? About to bite!!

You dont play through the vpn you merely purchase the game through it.

Purchased and downloading now :smiley:

Bought deluxe edition for £18, thanks op!

Cheers op :smiley:

Can you use Ho*a as your VPN?

Note that the deluxe edition is just 2 emotes and instant access to items you get after playing about 2 rounds.

Can someone make a tutorial on how to do this?

I tried 3 times paying via PayPal using Hola;

We were unable to process your payment now. Use another method of payment or try again later. [Ref. No. 4014] more

Download Hola Chrome plugin (see 1st post) and connect to origin store using Hola and a Mexico VPN. Translate page select game and go to check out.

For those maybe struggling, when it gets to payment screen or origin login (not the origina app [download this after payment if you don't already have it] but the browser) you no longer need the VPN at this point, connect direct.

That worked perfectly! Just add to basket click checkout and then turn off the VPN!

Thanks bud!
I used Hola, and turned it off as soon as I got to the Origin login part, after placing in basket, and proceeding to checkout.
Used Paypal, and it's in my account now! Downloading as I type!

SW:BF for £16 is not bad.

Just wondering, do EA ever revoke any games acquired through this method?

took a few attempts but do as previously stated, turn off VPN once you log in to your origin account

Does anyone know if I buy the Mexican Fifa 16 (only £14) whether it is a mexican version or whether you can do the same as Battlefront and revert to UK Origin for the download and gameplay?

I have never purchased outside the UK for a download game, my son wanted this for a Christmas present. I have IP Vanish as my VPN so I may give it a whirl. Can anyone confirm that because it's purchased from Mexico that it's safe payment and will it work and play as normal thrugh the UK Origin site.

It's safe. I've done this with Titanfall and battlefield, had no issues. It might be Mexican Origin, but it's still Origin.

Thanks guys for your positive feedback...have a Merry Christmas

This is multiplayer only, isn't it?

I preordered Titanfall from the Mexico site and that has never given me any issues. I recently picked up BF: Hardline, and that has been fine, too.

It looks like the Brazilian version is even cheaper, about £16ish for deluxe version.

How much is it with all the DLC? (season pass)

i bought the russian version and only have polish and russian commentary.

you need to do some tinkering to get the english.

Russia is a special case and the only region that works that way.

is deluxe edition like premium?

Apparently it's cheaper when using the Brazil store

Can anyone confirm if it is and is in English?

Nice work op i think i will bite at this price ,bf4 is still good but need fresh game now.

Ah yeah looks like a no go then

Also found out the PC servers are really bare too

does anyone know if you have to d/l it from the pc you buy it on? I.e. I am at work...

I'm going to try the brazil one, just VPN'd in and its like 77 Brazilian Rand = 13 quid, looks to be a bit more effort but hey it's worth a try :smiley:

Don't know for anyone else but I think EA Origin store has cottoned on...Won't process paypal payment :disappointed:

Always had trouble buying these. I disconnect Hola either just before I enter my card/PayPal details, and an Origin error appears and it wipes my basket. Or when I disconnect just after the PayPal window appears, another error appears.

Has anyone successfully purchased and received the game using the Mexico/VPN trick in the last 12 Hours?

Just successfully bought the deluxe edition. Cheers OP.

I just wish Origin would let me buy it for my brother's christmas too.

In the end I used a Argentinian VPN and it worked fine, 23.99$ thanks OP downloading now, 24GB :smiley:

Im going to try and hold out for sub £20 for this game. I love star wars but the beta was meh at best.

Looking at the stats, there isnt a huge amount of gamers here and hopefully a lower price tag might bring them all in

Damn, paid £19.99 via Mexico 2 days ago, can I get a refund?

Brazil ULTIMATE version is £33.....IF it works !

The Mexico and tunnelbear vpn worked well, downloading now £16.66 that's about the worth of the game to be honest.
Nice one op and imdurc. I did similar buying bf4 from Russia and that has been good for 2 years.

Just bought from Mexico without problem. Used paypal and charged $23.99 to my overseas fee free credit card rather than paying the slightly higher paypal conversion fees :smile:

Just to confirm buying from Brazil does NOT work !

Everything processed fine until the final stage when i got this email :

The status of your order has been changed to : For not approved
Your purchase has not been approved by restrictions related to your registration on BoaCompra .

Using Hola, when I switch back to UK at the 'Login' page during the checkout, the page then just crashes to a 'Connection Timed Out' page.

Tried Mexico and Argentina :disappointed:

Still working from Argentina via Hola.

Gimme :smile:

TunnelBear keeps putting me in Netherlands when i select Mexico ? WTF

Tried Mexico and Argentina :disappointed:

EDIT: Must have been a problem with the VPN at the time, just tried again and works fine (through Mexico). Just switched back to UK before it went off to PayPal.

Thanks!

Did same with me just turned off and tried again and all good

Just tried Hola Mexico ......and now i get :

We were unable to process your payment now. Use another method of payment or try again later.

WTF

Aha! Success I was changing locations too late!! :-)

Am on the verge of giving up.....it either doesn't goto location......or fails during payment thru Paypal.

HOLA hasn't worked for a while now, tried on few sites and same issues for last few weeks since gave up and uninstalled.

Tunnelbear works perfect though

ordered :smiley:

Yep ....not sure what the problem is .....it's origin rejecting it ...not paypal.

Instructions that worked for me;

Went to Origin Store (GB)
Installed Hola VPN, and then changed to Argentina (which reloads the Origin page)
Add to cart >> Login >> Pay with Paypal...
Log in to paypal so it then takes you back to Origin...Turn Hola VPN off and then submit the payment using paypal.

That's what worked for me.

I just wanted to inform them that not every region provides the english language.

As obviously Russian region purchases are significantly cheaper.

Finally got it .....went thru Argentina in the end .....basically VPN's are a pain in the c**k.

Downloading now 27gb.

Thanks..............Hola all fine for this 5min ago anyway; now for big download during the night.

Downloaded tunnelbear on my ipad and it worked a treat

Mecoconuts comment is concerning!
Can someone check buying this is the same as buying it off the regular UK store?
Also how cheap is BF4 Premium via Mejico proxy?
Thanks.

Unreal ....what a POS .....it appears the EA Servers are all down and you can't even play single player standalone as it still requires login.....WTF

You can check here for Server status :

http://downdetector.com/status/ea

still to high for MP only game. I will bite at £11.

Just bought for £11.45 using Russian VPN (couldn't get on Mexican VPN) Might save someone another quid or two this way.

Yeah it is locked and only Polish and Russian languages to select from... it was bad idea after all...
Time to learn new language...

I've tried all ways can't get past the try another payment method part, tried tunnelbear, hula, mexico, Argentina nothing works.

Worked first time. Downloading!! Looks like I'm on festive Hoth tomorrow morning. WOOOP!!!!

Thank you for the heads up and Merry Christmas!

Ordered Star Wars Battlefront Deluxe $26.99 + Battlefield 4 Deluxe $9.99 = £24.79 + credit card exchange charge ?

Here's my method for the purchase if it helps anyone.

1. Went to a new Chrome page window. (Chrome seems to be the preferred choice of many doing this purchase on their Youtube Videos)
2. I searched for Origin.com and logged into my Origin account
3. I then switched on my VPN ( I used my IP Vanish account) and pointed it towards a Mexico server
4. Searched for both games I wanted, and selected each one and added them to the basket
5. Then I went to the checkout
6. Before proceeding with checkout I switched off my VPN Mexico connection and back onto my UK IP address.
7. Selected my particular credit card payment and filled in my details and paid by credit card
8. Within a few seconds I received an email from Origin confirming my order and the price paid...all good.
9. Then I went to my Origin login from my PC and logged in. Both games ready for downloading, started Star wars download first. Seems to be downloading okay.
10. Finally, I went back to my Chrome Origin purchase page, pressed continue shopping and then logged out of my account and exited the Origin webpage.
11. Just to double check, I went back to my Origin PC download which was still downloading the game.

As a precaution I took a screen shot of every page when purchasing just to make sure it went through at the correct price.

thanks op bought installed all good. ea servers are poo stick though. I don't understand why people don't use paid VPN service all the time. in my house almost everything goes through VPN servers. you have no idea what ISP s get to know about you. VPN

Silly question, is the van installed on the Xbox? How do you toggle between the vpn and the usual route?

not van vpn, is it something you do through your Xbox or pc?
Is it device level or router level

Confirmed working with Hola on chrome from Scotland.
Once u get to the page that asks for card or paypal just click the Hola button and then the power off button at the top right.
Page then let you continue to checkout and payment. I used paypal.
Confirmation has been emailed to me.

The first time i tried it i tried to switch the country manually to the UK and it failed. Good luck folks!

For the sake of this thread a VPN and proxy are the same thing.
So yes you can set it up on Xbox or PC or a router but why are you asking about xbox?

​Yeah, logging into PayPal via normal ip address.

Got it to work now using mexico, cheers.

Works perfectly, thanks OP and imdurc.
It won't come down to this price in the UK until next Christmas.

I did bf4 like this and it was a nightmare to change it to English. Lesson learned.

Update : Well once the EA servers came back online earlier this afternoon my son has been playing this all day.....so can confirm it works fine. :wink:

Paypal cost on my account says it was £16.45 ! Can't see it being cheaper for quite a while.

As above i think the key was turning Hola off before going to Paypal as it gave me a few issues during payment.

I'm stuck on the screen when it goes back to origin after leaving paypal. It translates to a do not refresh page screen. Should it take a while at this point?

Do I need to switch the VPN back on now?

All sorted, it didn't like my paypal automatically logging in. Did nueva and typed my details and it went through fine.
Merry Xmas!

Nice deal. Decided to do it. Didn't really want to spend more than that when there's dlc and some people aren't happy with the longetivity.

Thanks op, got it on Mexican VPN for £39.92 but that's the ultimate edition with the season pass and all that good stuff. Saved me over £30 in comparison to using my UK vpn! Merry Christmas

Many thanks for a great, simple tutorial! :smiley:

Merry Xmas!

I'm not faffing around with a VPN personally, especially for such a poor game as this. But this kind of price does make it a bit more acceptable as long as you don't expect too much from it, hopefully they will add plenty of free content due to the immense amount of bad feedback the game received but it is EA, so don't hold any breath.

I've used VPN's to purchase games before with this method but I'm not sure if I've managed to c*ck it up this time. Paid via Paypal but nothing is showing up on my Origin account.

I can't yet see if the Paypal transaction went through ok. I guess if not then I'll try again at some point, otherwise I'm unsure what to do.

For anyone thinking of getting this ...it just got better ....

The battle of Jakku DLC which has 2 new maps and a new game mode has come up FREE !!

http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/features/battle-of-jakku

That's been free for a bit now

Glad I only bought the basic game , it's fun but it's not bf4 material. I will continue but I found I went back to bf4 today but will play again maybe tomorrow. Just my 2 pence worth for any other gamers.

I have installed Hola and changed to Mexico, the Origin site updates to Mexico but the price is $39.99. How are people getting it for cheaper than this? Thanks
