Football Manager 2012 $5.99/ £3.78. PC Digital Download @ Amazon US

Step-by-step Instructions to make it even easier.

Log into amazon.com with your current amazon.co.uk account.

Order it as you usually would on .co.uk

When you get to the end of the checkout it will be greyed out and you won't be able to complete the order (due to UK address)

Click on the billing address, bottom right

Find a valid zip code and city in the state of your choice that don't charge sales tax! (Alaska, Delaware, Oregon)

Make up the rest of the address and phone number

Complete the sale

DON'T click on Amazon's "Download Now" button. Wait for the steam code to be emailed to you or click on the "Product key only" link under the "Download Now" button.

Register code with Steam.

Pray that the UK government revises its massively lopsided extradition treaty with the US.

Mine went through OK.

My bank knows I often frequent Beaverton, 97007 in Oregon.

I have used tricks like this to get US prices at least 25 times before and have never had any issues from my bank.

I think I might just go for it, but thank you for your kind offer MiiCK

I've done this loads of times with amazon.com's digital game download offers and have had no problems.

same here. I played CM2 alot around '98-'99 and back then it ate my life away. This game might be cheap, but guaranteed it'll cost you way much more money with the time you 'spend' or 'lose' playing this game.

Will try this later. Thanks.

Does this give you the key to apply to Steam? As I was going to gift this over to someone.

ive just done this and you can either download it from amazon or it gives you the key for steam

Yep it'll directly download it through Amazon then you will get a key to paste into steam and it'll activate and fully run through steam, download is about 1.5GB.

Think Alaska is tax free to.

True. I was charged £1.25 by Natwest for my last Amazon Digital download.
Still an amazing deal at £5.

If it gives you a Steam product code then it'll come with everything Steam has to offer. Won't be any different from buying through Steam itself.

Gives you a steam code just click the writing need cd keys only and it will appear

Using the 'Add a Game' button on the bottom corner of the Steam client.

Lol. Been using Steam for years and never thought to use that button
I always go to the toolbar: Games > Activate a product on Steam

what happens when your bank sees somebody with a billing address in america has just used your bank card, Oh hold on i know this one block and cancel your cards for you or at least thats what my bank does anyway.

Could be more hassle than the few pound saving is worth

Thanks, every other add I clicked on asked how to add a game!

Again.. if anyone needs it gifting for £5 i'll do it, this way could lead to further charges from bank etc

Great stuff - worked a treat for me... heat added

Shouldn't the Steam key give you access to both versions?

Nice, a lot simpler than some of the hoops I had to jump through to buy US e-books on Amazon as well. Heat added!

worked a charm, just in time for the data update. thanks!

I reckon so.

Thanks, added to my steam. Will give it a go later

Bought one hell of a bargin! thanks

I'm a bit of a risk averse individual, is this safe? More from a risk of getting caught, than a legal standpoint (which I presume it is illegal)

I am rather tempted

If not just get it gifted legally through UK steam, i'd do it for ya, costs a fiver and immediate receipt of it

I think I might just go for it, but thank you for your kind offer MiiCK
