Spring Sale at Origin Mexico. Some good deals to be had
Hola is required: see hola.org. Use Mexico obviously.
Ends 9th April 12pm CDT, I think that's 3AM 10th April Sydney time
Can confirm that Sims 4 (at least) works - I'm using it now. See also https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/176199#comment-2458903
Process I used:
can confirm Sims 4 works fine on Aussie accounts (doing it now). See also https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/176199#comment-2458903
Thanks for the reference. So basically, I use the Hola extension via Google Chrome and purchase it on the Mexican store and play it on my Aussie account. But do I have to be logged into my Australian account when I switch to Mexican store via Hola? I don't have to make a Mexican account to buy it do I?
Disable hola in Chrome extension area after success as it is questionable
Launch Origin as per normal and download your game and play :)
@Agret: My payment went through, copped a receipt too but my game ain't in my origin game list. Does it take awhile to go through?
Thanks to @Agret for the step-by-step help; my purchase of The Sims 4 via this method worked fine, and the game appeared in my games library immediately. Not sure why it didn't for you, @xkniiL - check again?
@Tyrus: Yeah I checked again = and it still hasn't shown up. Although I didn't purchase The Sims 4, instead I purchased Battlefield Hardline Premium..
Amazing price on The Sims 4 and pretty good for Battlefield 4.
Can you play this via your australian origin account?
yep, no problems. You only need to Hola to buy it then it is all normal
Excuse the noobish question. If I buy BF4, can I play multiplayer online for Free ? Or do I need to subscribe to an online product like Xbox Live ?
There are no subscription fees for any multiplayer games on a computer with the exception of MMO games. It's completely free to play BF4 multiplayer.
There is Battlefield 4 Premium Subscription but it's not needed to play.
Premium is not a subscription it's a once off payment that gives you all of the DLC packs and some extra battlepacks.
Awesome and thanks Agret. :)
Don't bother with Sim City. Buy Cities: Skylines instead.
Was about to say the same.
Better get back to it! (damn alt+ tab!)
Was going to say the same, if you don't already have Sim City there is no point getting it now when Skylines is infinitely better.
Unfortunate to the SimCity line with Maxis' long legacy, but the studio that actually produced SimCity was shut down last month anyway - so the series is already dead, so there is no point buying it in attempt to support the studio.
Like these two fellows, I already had my SimCity "DON'T BUY THIS" response typed out before I decided to read up here. Lel.
Best part about Cities: Skylines is that I don't need to install a virus on my PC (Aka, Origin)
Thank GOD Dragon Age is here. I've wanted this game for ages now :)
how do I get this hola thing to work?
Got Hola working on firefox, but it wont process the payment with paypal?
o fue posible procesar tu pago ahora mismo. Usa otro método de pago o vuelve a intentarlo más tarde. [ref. n.º 10048] Más información
are they all for PC? nothing for Mac?
Sims 4 and SimCity will work on Mac.
thanks. it is too late now. i hope the sale will be still on when i get home tomorrow.
Is Sims4 worth to play online? I have no friends though
You can play with me serious face
Doesn't even have online dude, it's a singleplayer game…
Can anyone comment on the price of the Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat digital game pack?
How does this work when you play it via your regular Australian Origin account? Interested in buying The Sims 4 at that price if I have no dramas playing it while using my regular account.
