    Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this but just thought this one would suit best for my question.

    I see people mentioning buying games on amazon.com through digital distribution and was wondering how that is done?

    Im currently a member of amazon.co.uk but would definitely like to have amazon.com as an option when buying games,they have some great value from what i can see

    Just log in to Amazon.com using your Amazon.co.uk account details. Then you just need to add a US address to your account.

    No issue with Irish cards and any address will do. It's best to pick one in new Hampshire as there is no sales tax there.

    Just trying to enter american address in amazon.com usins my .co.uk details.
    Only option i seem to be getting is totally replacing my billing address,is this the correct way? Will that affect my .co.uk deliveries or is that a seperate address for delivery not billing?

    you are better off just setting up a .com account

    does anyone know the zip code for any of the tax free states as I have always just used 90210?

    Amazon.com is fantastic.

    I have bought over 20 games over the past few days with these sales.

    Part of me is loving it - Part of me is wondering how I suddenly have all this spare money for games...
