It's almost that time of the year again, FIFA 15 will soon be released on all major platforms. This year, the PC version will be identical to the next gen version, only with the use of 60+ FPS. At roughly £25 (dependent upon conversion rate) it's a bargain.
For starters, make sure your Origin account has a primary payment option set (you can do this on the origin client)
STEPS REQUIRED:
1) Download a VPN, I use the Hola extension for Chrome ( http:/****/1cjk979 ).
2) Connect your VPN to a Mexican server, then click the deal link.
3) Add FIFA 15 to your cart,the standard edition is $40 (~£25), and the ultimate edition is $45 (£~28).
4) Go to your basket and proceed through the usual checkout procedure, chrome doesn't always translate correctly, but it shouldn't be too hard.
4) When it asks you to login to your origin account, disconnect from your VPN (or turn hola off).
5) Continue through the checkout procedure, I used PayPal and it worked, unsure about any other payment method.
6) Fifa 15 should now be tied to your account and you can preload on the 22/09 and play on the 26/09!
For those afraid of using a VPN, I found a cheap 'standard' version at £28 at a UK site which is at cdkeys.com/pc/…in/

FAQ
Q) Will my Origin account be banned for using a VPN?
A) No, I've done this with multiple new releases such as Titanfall and Battlefield 4 in order to slash the UK price in half, yet my account is fine. The only possible danger which I saw on a forum is that you might be banned from purchasing from the origin storefront, which, at their prices, isn't much of a loss.
Q) Will this version be in my native language?
A) Yes, the game's language will be set to the current nationality of your origin account. Also, the FIFA game itself has multi language support.
Q) Will i be able to play on my regions servers?
A) Yes, for two reasons, one being similar to the reason for the language, and two because FIFA itself bases matchmaking upon geographic location.
Q) What are the system requirements?
A) Realistically, any system with a minimum of 2 cores and a dedicated graphics chip. Feel free to check here though: systemrequirementslab.com/cyr…p=r

Origin is PC only, so I would've assumed it would be easy for people to understand. Regardless, title changed
... jsut hope it doesnt get region banned haha
Thanks for this
Heat added
No problem, MOT :P
THREE MONITORS, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ME SO JEALOUS BROTHER, FOR I AM STUCK WITH ONE.....for now
Ha ha, No i haven't got 3 monitors. Just seen videos on youtube and it looks good.
I play on a standard 1080p 40" TV.
Hopefully they will keep updating this version and not let it lag behind in updates etc.
as someone who played FIFA 14 PC religiously, the updates were pushed out at the same time as consoles and always had the latest patch. given the greater focus on the PC version this year I would imagine it to be the same story
Hi, never owned a pc version before. Are games as easy to find online?
Could anybody help me out with a suggestion?
Cheers
I'll admit, it's not as quick as the console versions. However one must remember that fifa on PC is growing, and by joining you're helping that cause. It's not as bad as one might think though, a few seconds is usually the max.
Open your origin client and go to account settings, then head to payment details and add your details, after that go back to your payment details page and ensure that you have your options set as the primary option. This should sort it
Tried that as well but it doesn't work this way either.
Do you have any other suggestions please?
Thank you
Provided you have disconnected from the VPN, have set valid primary payment options and actually have the money to do it, it should be fine. My recommendation would be to first, check your payment options and funds, if that's all good then try clearing your internet cache and cookies and try a fresh. And use paypal!
hmm not sure if that's entirely accurate.. games are very quick to find, at least on my pc anyway.. its the market on ultimate team you have to worry about. Since there are less players on PC, prices are often more expensive.. but in total I find the experience much more enjoyable than on previous gen consoles at least, and much cheaper than next gen consoles.
Thanks!
£24 for Ultimate Edition from Pakistan VPN, about £4 cheaper than Mexico VPN.
And thank you so much OP!
EDIT: Did you use Hola, dedlite?
Because when using Hola, India & Pakistan have the same prices on Origin. So I'm just wondering whether it is actually 3,999.00 INR instead of 3,999.00 PKR?
Look at your origin account.. Fifa 15 will be already there on the email that you bought it through.. it will release on the UK release date, regardless of any emails telling you otherwise as I just received
Beat me to it!
1. Can u tell me if i need to change my country to Mexico
a. on the Country of Residence in the Origin
b. on the Country in the "Payment Method"
2. BTW when i changed to Mexico on HOLA - i got the currency as US $ 44 - not in pessos - is that ok?
2 - Yes, that's fine.
When you bought the game, was your credit card charged 3,999 PKR or 3,999 PKR?
some1 who bought this game with this method
Everything dedlite said is legit
Preload available from 22/09 @18:00
Here's from my bank statement;
ORIGIN COM EA GENEVA CH 2399.400000 INR at 98.49754 £24.36
So yes, they charge your card at the local currency, and your bank take the money from your account in pounds, using the current rate to change INR (in this case) to GPB. And yes, the price on Origin were in PKR - the UK prices were the same though...oh well. I got the game cheaper and legit - what's not t like? :-)
Any reason why people are choosing Mexico if it's more expensive?
Going to buy just making sure there's isn't a specific reason people choosing Mexico!?
I found Pakistan the cheapest, so that's why *I* use it. The OP mention Mexico, and when you start Hola it often defaults to Mexico - there's probably your answer. Obviously you can change the sites' geographical server - I guess quite a few people haven't change it (maybe they didn't know you could?) I looked around for the cheapest currency rate (at the time - rates change, ofc) so I went for Pakistan!
But on dedlite's bank statement, he was only charged
