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?

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!

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?

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.

Super, sounds like a no brainer then!

Lmao_Man · 19-09-2014 4:32pm

do you get the packs on your own account not the us account if you get the ultimate edition?

Giggsy_ · 20-09-2014 1:28am

Anybody know if GameStop will cancel a pre-order ... Would you lose what you have payed ? Have it ordered with GameStop but i think I'll go down the playstation store route

Nope just go in with you're receipt and they'll give you back the money i traded fifa 14 in with xtra vision and put it towards 15 , then went and canceled my gamestop one and got my 20 quid back

Anyone know a site where you can use paypal for us psn dollars?

Pretty sure Play Asia takes Paypal

Anyone got a good amazon link to get us psn card? I got one before to purchase mlb but can't remember where.

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

miralize · 21-09-2014 7:09pm

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..

the whole year inn · 21-09-2014 11:00pm

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

bigron2109 · 22-09-2014 11:21am

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

Villain · 22-09-2014 11:36am

Any details on Tesco prices?

Flashdean · 22-09-2014 3:56pm

Anyone reckon i could just walk in off the street on friday and get one for the ps4?? Gamestop in swords or Newbridge I'm hoping

daRobot · 22-09-2014 10:10pm

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

daRobot · 22-09-2014 10:52pm

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.

Shanotheslayer · 22-09-2014 11:23pm

Any where in Dublin City Centre doing a midnight launch?

vidor · 23-09-2014 12:35am

Seemingly HMV are offering 30% extra store credit for games traded in on Friday. Game costs 70e though.

RobbingBandit · 23-09-2014 12:43am

Ultimate team on PS4 and Xbox One and Legacy Edition on Vita for me from HMV on friday.

fourmations · 23-09-2014 1:01am

If you cannot find a place by Friday, Argos should stock it on Friday morning. Just get up early when they update their site and reserve it.

fourmations · 23-09-2014 9:39am

thanks bren

is the ultimate team pre-order sold out then?

so even if i get it on the day,
i havent a hope of getting it with the bonuses? is that right?

cheers

The ultimate team version has the bonuses no matter when you buy it.

Some Irish shops may have the ultimate team available for pre-order. At this stage, I'd be surprised. You should be able to pick it up next week no problem.

Alternatively, you could order it from one of the UK shops and either get it shipped through Parcel Motel.

If he has a playstation you can get it off the US PSN store and it is ready to play from right now. By far the cheapest option.

Your last option is Argos or chancing your arm in any of the game shops.

shamelessidiot · 23-09-2014 10:39am

Does anybody know if buying a US prepaid card will work on Xbox One also? I assume it would, but just want to be sure before I go ahead and buy it. Have tried buying it directly in the US store via paypal, but just get an error.

fourmations · 23-09-2014 10:48am

Hi Bren

unfortunately thats not the case, ive rang gamestop and
you dont get the bonus stuff unless its a pre-order
the pre-order has been sold out since last week

rgds

RollieFingers · 23-09-2014 11:12am

Anyone any idea on the best place to pick up a copy for the Xbox 360 on launch day? Thanks for any help!

nostrils · 23-09-2014 11:18am

Can you download the game on 2 differnt playstations if you buy it from the psn store?

Intifada · 23-09-2014 11:22am

Can someone explain how to get it off US PSN store?

I've set up a US account and all the prices are in $USD yet when I search for FIFA 15 I get:

Fifa 15 Demo (PS3), Fifa 15 Demo (PS4), Fifa 15 (PS4), Fifa 15 UT Ed (PS4), Fifa 15 Theme (PS3).

Where is the PS3 version?

IncognitoMan · 23-09-2014 11:27am

Can we not just make a thread for buying Fifa off the us store. Both this and the main Fifa thread have been ruined by people asking the same question over and over.

For what's its worth you set up a USA PS account, use 90210 or something for your post code then you buy a us psn card from a site like play Asia or I think Amazon do them.

You add the funds you buy the game and as long as you still have the usa account on your console then you can play it on that console. On any profile

Your post doesn't address my question whatsoever. Maybe you should have read it before giving out about it being asked!

It addresses the main question being asked here over and over. I don't have the answer to your one because I don't have a ps3 anymore. If I was answering you directly I would have quoted your post

ive missed the pre-order for xbox 360 ultimate team version for my son

is ultimate team version pre-order only, will it be stocked in the shops?
can i pre-order ultimate team (with bonuses) for download on xbox live?

I see. Strange really, all that was said was 23rd/26th release date for US/EU and no mention of different ones for other consoles.

Dunnie1982 · 23-09-2014 12:57pm

I ordered UT Edition from Amazon in July and checked my order to see has it been sent out yet, my expected delivery date is now Tuesday, 30 September 2014 - Wednesday, 1 October 2014. Last year I bought a few game on pre order from Amazon and they arrived the day of release. Does anyone else know why this is, I was hoping to have it for the weekend.

Edit: I took the free Amazon Prime trial and changed the shipping to free one day delivery and sent to Parcel Motel, now my estimated delivery date is Friday.

Id be very suprised if you cant rock up to any extra vision or tesco etc early and get it.

While fifa is very sought after...its never as hectic stock wise as say gta.

Id imagine youd pick it up for launch date on the 360 with no real probs.

Imo...your better off buying the normal version and maybe letting him buy 10€ worth of points. The ultimate version releases one pack a week.. Which is very frustrating considerd you paid extra. Id never bother with ultimate again...normal with fifa points bougjt with the saving is how i went

Raekwondo · 23-09-2014 4:21pm

Heads up to people buying it on US PSN, you won't be able to buy FIFA Points on your Irish Account. You will need to use your US PSN account to buy them.

ANyone order from Gamestop.ie? Have it ordered on Express Delivery for PS4 waiting for it to ship.

Wolfgang Megahertz · 23-09-2014 5:20pm

Is there any danger in playing a US PlayStation store bought version online before Friday? Will Sony's Skynet brick my console?

vidor · 23-09-2014 6:06pm

80e for this game is insane but if I can get some store credit to offset the cost then it won't pain me as much.

Raekwondo · 23-09-2014 7:16pm

Anyones been dispatched from Gamestop yet?

2. Not ar$ed with Ultimate team version as the 40 free packs is 1 per week. (If you are buying packs anyway it may be of benefit).

Looks like it's too late to grab the Ultimate version on Friday so I'll have to make do with the standard edition. How much do people generally spend on FUT?

Knock Off Nigel · 23-09-2014 9:27pm

PS3 version is in the us psn store now for anyone that's looking to buy it there.

Smacs89 · 23-09-2014 9:37pm

If I pre-order from gamestop website now, when would i expect to get it?
Cant find any indication on the website.

Pious14 · 23-09-2014 9:44pm

Does anyone have any indication of high street prices for ps4? I know GameStop and hmv are charging €69.99. Does anyone know if tesco will be doing a release day deal like previous years?

Where is everyone buying fifa 15?
