And finally it hits my magic price (as im not paying £40 for DLC!)
£23.50 from South Africa (£32 UK Store). But obviously, South African ZAR is readily available in credit form - and you can use the VPN method too.
There so much content here as the maps are awesome - especially the new game modes too!

I am unfamiliar with purchasing things through different Xbox markets. How would I achieve this through the non-VPN method? Also, is the DLC compatible with my normal Xbox account?

Im trying to reply to your PM, but for some reason - I dont have a reply button - nor the ability to send you a mail!? Random!
But here it is for everyone;
Go to your Microsoft Account and add a new payment method for the new region (in this case, South Africa).
Use your actual UK Debit/Credit card, because it doesnt matter - we wont be using it.
Once you're set up (you'll have to give it a South African Address though - so just google the Hilton in South Africa or something) you'll now be able to go through the checkout process on the South African product page.
When you get to payment, click the little picture of the present (i.e. "Gift Card") and redeem cards there (covering the full amount - as you cant use this method for partial payment).
Newbie, I don't play online, only campaigns, worth buying ? Tia

I wouldnt say so. The meat is multiplayer, new maps, new play styles (the "Tug of war" style game is ridiculous!)

Battlefield is traditionally an online game. I would pass if I were you.

Is this possible for PS4?

Not to my knowledge. But I have zero Sony experience.

Do Microsoft block accounts for this

Haven't found any reports saying so.
Ive purchased over 100 titles with this method and haven't had any fallout.
However, I don't do anything dumb like ring up Microsoft and ask why my charge has gone through wrong or draw any attention to my account at all.

Im a little confused on how you actually purchase the digital download.. has this got to be done via the xbox homepage store? or can this be done via website xbox live store?

go to the website and press buy usually you would use a card but this time you have to buy credit for that region first as your card wont work. Then go to your xbox and download it. Sam as buying from the UK as long as you dont get the disc version.
