    Why would you need to be in the US? It activates on Origin anyway.

    No sales tax in Alaska. :D
    Just get the key off amazon rather than download then use that on Origin.

    I'd love if somehow that was somebody's addresses and they wondered why they'd receive random bills every now and then.

    Code Gooncave might work too for 15% off.

    Yep if it says drm steam or origin.
    Just as an example i bought http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-Premium-Service-Online-Game/dp/B0087STJLS/ref=dsvrt_myd_asin_block on the 12th july for $12.74.:D Instead of clicking the download button i selected 'just get the key' which i then entered on Origin.

    You'll be fine anyway if you're planning to grab http://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Arts-40834ttlefield-32-Battlefield/dp/B005WWZUQ0/ref=sr_1_1_title_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1374186696&sr=1-1&keywords=Battlefield+3

    Some games they host downloads for and work fine. This is only when the product details don't state it requires Steam/Origin.

    You can't purchase console downloads through amazon. Amazon.com also don't ship games out to Ireland.

    if you mean do you have to get premium again for the pc if you already have it on xbox, then yeah you have to get it again. Prepare for a 20+ gig download.
