Hello guys,

Just thought I'd share the way I purchased FIFA this year.

I'm from the UK btw.

1) Changes region to the USA
2) Go to the Xbox Store and find the version you require of FIFA
3) Use PayPal at checkout instead of debit/credit card.

Instant, simple and works.

Will you have to keep your region in USA in order to play the game, even when the game is released in the UK?

But does a UK card that is linked with PayPal still work? Or do you just put the amount needed in your PayPal account?

Also, doesn't it prompt you to add your address?

Yes, it asks you for your address.
So, this does not work if your paypal is linked with your UK debit or credit card.
Your best bet is to create a brand new paypal saying you are from the US and make up a known address in the US.

Then send over the correct amount of money to that new PayPal?

When you try make a new PayPal you need to add a phone number.. I don't see how it can work because I'd obvs have to add a UK number

Yeah I just noticed that. So you can't create a new paypal because of the phone number, you can't use the existing paypal because we are from the UK. I don't know how we can get it early..
