I live in Israel, when buying a game from Steam I pay in USD and pay the American price. I want to buy Battlefield 3 but Origin identifies me as British and asks me to pay the more expensive British price.
I'm using a single use credit card so refund isn't much of an option in case it doesn't work.
Can I buy the American download version from Amazon (or someone American will buy it for me) and register the American key with Origin?
Has anyone tried it?
Just went with it. You can buy it from Amazon and redeem anywhere, but I wanted to add that Amazon suggests you download the game from them (it offers a downloader), but it kept disconnecting.
Your serial number is in your personal downloads page, use it in Origin and download at 1MB\s.
Yes -- the game is universal and all keys work in any country.
(Changing the default language in the game away from English, I don't know about, but presumably that can be done via game settings somewhere.)
