Decent price for a fantastic game from the South African marketplace.
Not entirely sure what the price is without EA Access but it shouldn't be too much more(should be an extra £1).

Do you recommend any reliable but free vpn for South Africa?

Don't you just change your region on Xbox.com, buy the game, then change back? Don't think you need a VPN.

it brought it on my phone (android )
i used this free vpn
Use VyprVPN, its free but there is no server for South Africa. Use Indonesia, works perfect

Is this only for certain countries? I'm sure I've got stuff from the US Xbox site before, without the need for a VPN.

Good price for the game for those who want it.
Played the two levels in the trial, while it looks beautiful in parts, I felt the game itself was slightly boring but that's just me so other may not. :smiley:

Great deal, but I couldn't get a phone number that Xbox would accept. So ended up just giving up. Address, Revolut, etc all seem fine, but it didn't matter what phone number I put in.

The mobile number has to be only 10 digits long, starting with 0

worked fine for me. using vpn easy on my phone i selected south africa as the server location then using chrome went to xbox.com, signed into my account & scrolled down to the bottom of the site & changed the xbox location to south africa. found the game & clicked buy. i got 2 messages from microsoft asking me to confirm who i was by typing in the codes they'd sent me. after this i had to put in my card details. the address you enter has to match the address your card is registered to but the postcode & country can be changed so enter your actual house number, street & town but use a postcode, area & phone number from south africa. i used 2198 as the postcode, gauteng as the province & the uk embassy phone number which is: 0124217500. 5 minutes of fiddling but it work fine started downloading to my xbox straightaway.

I did what you said so thanks! I used my home address and town and used Vypr set to Indonesia on my PC. No problem. Had to load £10 on the card so I now have a few £ left over for the next deal :smiley:

just tried this with revolut using Indonesia as the vpn location with the instructions you mention and it went through.
i tried it without vpn and it gave me a payment processing issue but as soon as i did it with vpn and used my correct address with the ZA post code it work

Hi can I just check if you sign in with your regular xbox live account or do I need to create a new profile with a SA address?
Thanks :smiley:

Thanks! The trick of using the real street and city, but phone and postcode from the other country is super!

I'll keep that in mind for future purchases. Thank you.

I am using the VPN app mentioned in a previous comment to South Africa and tried without and just adjusting the location but won't work. I have deleted my payment and added again with part South Africa address and I get an error "this payment can't be used try another method". Any ideas?

I know having to add an address (and revoult card) is a pain the first time you do it for a country, but once done it is always there. Then you will have a nice list of the usual cheapest suspects and be able to benefit from all these cheap deals. Well worth the effort.

Don't worry - sorted! Thanks to OP and all those who added help. Bit of a faff but wanted to work through it as it will be useful for the future :smiley:

Quite sure most people encounter a hiccup when trying to get it all set up and working(myself included) but once you get past the first initial hurdle, it's worth it if you like to save money :smile:
Glad to hear you got it working!

In case it helps anyone else... I also went through VPN easy on my android phone and used revolut but initially got the payment error message then realised I hadn't actually waited for vpn easy to connect - I'd selected SA but not actually connected :smile:

Why do people use revolut? I do this all the time using my own credit card with no problems. I use VPN unlimited on Android which has a SA vpn.

People use Revolut because there's no transfer fees, or exchange rate fees. So you can transfer whatever you want in, and out without anything hidden away.
