Battlefield 3, PC – £4.64
Apply coupon “OCTOFUN1″.
To purchase digital games from Amazon US, use your UK Amazon account, and add a US billing address to your account. This address needs to be a valid US address, but nothing will be sent there, and you can access all your games through their website. Some card issuers may charge a fee.
Thanks to Renhoelder for the tip.
Coupon seems to not work. Says – this code is not valid
Still works here. It does to be one use only though.
ohh.. I see. I used it Nexuiz 🙂 What a shame
A message on the checkout page states the offer is only available to US customers, I’d added a US address as my one-click address, presumably I am doing something wrong?
It should be fine as long as the billing address is within the US.
EDIT: mine worked with:
The University of Arizona
Tucson, AZ 85721
United States
Phone: (520) 621-3237
This happened to me for a bit, on the actual check out page make sure the address on the bottom right is the US one you added and not your default one.
Bear in mind doing this will set the US one to be your default so change it back afterwards!
Great, thanks for the help!
It worked with the code, and the key registers on Origin so it’s now a legit game on my main Origina account. Nice!
Hey, could anybody with any experience ordering a digital game at amazon.com tell me whether you’ve been charged when ordering using a Visa Debit?
Lewie suggests I may well be charged extra but how much extra are we talking? I could risk it but I’d rather not be charged an extra £5 or anything. I’ve hesitated buying things from the U.S site before but this is a damn good deal.
Thanks in advance.
It depends on your bank I believe. I’m with RBS, and they’re pretty inconsistent. Their charge for foreign transactions is £1.50, but I’ve rarely actually been charged it.
One of the few times I was charged was from ordering from Amazon UK, so there you go.
Well, the deal has expired so no need to ponder the extra charges.
HEY blue 8855 the deal is looong gone. It’s a shame you missed out, but hey these things happen in this crazy lil thing called life. Heck, I once had a friend who only had a maestro card so he asked me to order him a great deal on an even greater game using my visa, ’cause that’s the only payment method they’d accept ya see…Well, I was worried about a little charge, so I hesitated and decided to wait around – that was my mistake. My biggest regret, that fateful day. I think my friend is still alive, somewhere. I’ll never be invited to his funeral though.
Peace Out,

I got charged about £2 on my visa debit so worth baring in mind with the total cost. Hope that helps
I recommend everyone to get a fee-free foreign transaction card. Even if you have bad credit, there is one with a company called Aqua which you will almost certainly be accepted for. You may only get £250 as a credit limit but it’s enough for buying games from these deals (I’m a 20 y.o. student with student debt and only a part time job and I got accepted). Go to the link here: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-travel-money . It lists all options in a concise and easy to follow manner. Hope this helps.
well, I have bought the game on the sale, great price 🙂
but is it multilanguage? I mean I have it already installed, and I dont mind english language, but I got a copy for my friend, but he cant speak english /also read:)/
but I would have to unistall the game to see if it can be installed with another language, but 17gb is quite alot, so if anyone has it installed in other language, pls respond here.
thx
