    Vodafone? Can`t understand why somebody would be with that network, so expensive compared to three.
    Well sir, I can easily answer that, all my friends and family are on Vodafone, with free calls and texts to Vodafone its the one that makes perfect sense

    OK looking at some of the posts, the way to go seems to be via US PSN account. Is it easy enough to set up.

    Simple. Just set the address as anywhere in the US, buy a psn card from amazon or somewhere if you can find cheaper, redeem it through the US account and buy FIFA. :)

    I subscribed to the Amazon Prime trial, tried to order Fifa 15 (which has eligible for prime ticked), yet when I get to checkout it tells me it's not eligible? What is this trickery?

    What happens when you switch back to your European PSN? Is it still there to play after you download it?

    Yeah, as long as the PS4 is both accounts primary PS4, you're free to play any game/demo linked to either account.

    Excellent, so as I understand, the basic process is:

    Order $60 worth of PSN credit from the American amazon using a U.S. tax free billing address
    Create a U.S. PSN acc
    Apply the credit, buy Fifa 15
    Download it via U.S. acc, and switch back to Euro acc, and voila?

    Are you shipping to Ireland? Amazon Prime doesn't really help if you are sending stuff to an Irish address. Nearly everything is ineligible.

    You'll need to ship to it Parcel Motel NI. With the free release day shipping to Parcel Motel NI, it's quicker and less expensive than paying for the quicker delivery directly to Ireland.

    Ah, to the U.S. store it is then!

    As far as I understand, yes. It's exactly what I did and I have the timer on the US account to when I can download it. As well, people have said to use an address in Oregon to avoid tax charges.

    Thats the one i used, my game just started downloading there for the pre load.

    Able to get it for €40 on the Xbox US store, with EA Access discount & an Oregon address. Decided if Xbox take it away then at least I know for the future. Release dates based on region really need to become a thing of the past..

    Cant we just order the psn cards off ebay and then use it on us psn store?
    I just want to use my paypal credit.

    Aslong as there american PSN cards then year, the amazon one is just handy because you get the code instantly

    Pity there wasn't some one doing a deal for FIFA and a Playststion Plus sub for the year.

    Any details on Tesco prices?


  • Registered Users Posts: 141 ✭✭Flashdean

    Anywhere to buy US psn credit, that takes paypal and doesn't require an 'activation fee'? Tried play asia, as mentioned above, but they've no US credit.

    None in stock you mean? They do sell it maybe ask them when they will have more codes as they have them there on the site at the minute

    Changed a few parameters in my search, and found them.

    However, they still have the activation fee. Works out as $7 on $70 of credit, and while it's only 5 euro, I'd still rather not pay it if I don't have to.

    Will see if there are any other options, and report back if I find them.
