I have bought digital games from amazon before. All you have to do is have a US address entered and it will allow the purchase even if you use an Indian CC. I don't know if things have become more strict since then, but I highly doubt it as many people all over the world buy it from that store with their friend or family in US as the billing address.
What will happen to the dlc content later on if we buy from third party site? Use VPN on origin to grab them?
That they are not sure. As it is not officially supported in VPN, the question about multiplayer, DLCs, updates/patches etc is yet to be answered. I have contacted more than three customer care execs and they do not have a clear answer.
1. Try spamming less. It might work on that other gaming forum where you frequent, but here its annoying.
2. Read all posts before you type accusations and speculations in an instant. Its just stupid, please.
1 You are not a moderator. who gave you the authority to decide who spammed or who didnt.
2 stop making personal remarks
3 also if you are so interested in proving facts ,stop putting wikipedia as a source,if you want to be taken seriously.Go find it on the actual website of CBFC and comeback.
4 everyone here is speculating,stop pretending your theory is any less speculation than anyone else.

No. it is not. If you give a US address as your shipping and billing, it will work just fine. I have ordered before.

Let us control our emotions and not get the thread derailed. We need to be united towards working out a solution. If we fight among ourselves, this thread will get shut down.

You can buy the digital version with a US address and avoid those charges.
I tried to buy the game from Origin US Store via VPN last night. Everytime got that 10048 error. But Still I was charged Rs 50 for even intiating the payment...i think I might have wasted ~Rs 300 on that only...hoping that it gets refunded....
Anywho still making up my mind where to buy it from....or just wait for people to confirm tomorrow if buying from third party sites works or not..

Why does one need to buy a physical copy and ship it to India when there is an option for Digital Download ? ![]()

Yeah, it's still early to know hoe the game'll behave in VPN. However I found the G2A key to be cheaper than the original price in INR. Took a gamble and bought it. Now just have to see what happens after I get the key.
So, using VPN is illegal, but if I have a relative who logs into my account in the US and buys the game, that's legal?
That doesn't make any sense.

Hmm all the more reason IMO it's best to wait it out than rush into anything if you can't afford it.
Personally I was never going to be able to play at release anyway as I'm running into delays in middle of upgrading my PC. As it is I had prepared myself to wait till like december or something due to personal issues, so I think I'll be just waiting out for all the info that will come up in the next couple weeks.

I went on to ask about G2A. They said on that matter, even their information is speculative and while it is possible to try it, it isn't recommended since the game may not activate.

1. One doesn't need to be a moderator to see who is spamming and who isn't. Its YOU who categorically said "lets spam these thread" some pages back. You seem have a chaotic and destructive mentality.
Three posts in a row, the last one encouraging spamming the thread..

2. Learn to be getting corrected when you post bullshit. You feel its personal coz you can't think you can go wrong.
3.Government websites don't update and are archaic. That doesn't hide their functioning. At least I gave one fairly reliable source, you gave NONE. Did you at least Google??
4. Your speculation has no base in logic and when asked for it, you simply don't respond and come up with more speculations just for the sake of it.
Guys calm down. One of my friend had ordered a key from Amazon.com, just now. It might take a few mins to hours to get the key. Once he gets it i will update the status here.

Maybe every IP has a provider tagged to it but a VPN is a fake IP?

i have been trying ,but this aditya guy keeps making personal remarks.

I chatted with one exec today and he gave me an completely contradictory answer. I posted it earlier today in this thread.

Guess we'll never know unless someone actually tries activating the code.
*snip* Homosexuality is a criminal offence though and the promotion of it can cause an apparent ban.
Huh? Are you sure you live in the same India as me?
Last time I checked, homosexuality in India wasn't banned or a criminal offence, what was an offense was sex with persons of the same gender, i.e. Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. Also, FYI there is a gay contestant, Mr. Gay India 2014 to be precise in the Indian version of Big Brother reality show. And if we go by your comment which suggests that homosexuality is a criminal offence in India, that guy would've have been behind bars by now, wouldn't he? Just correcting your facts.
Anyways, let's not derail from the topic at hand.

What have u entered in the shipping address? In case I don't have someone's address there, what do I enter?

Honestly it's hard to put down a proper rule regarding this when you think about it. Say you travel to US next week for work/vacation/studies/whatever, login to Origin and pick some games. They can't block you from playing that just cos you later returned to India. Especially since your Origin account is apparently not region locked, the store itself is depending on where it is accessed from.
I understand our situation is unique though because the game itself is blocked in the country which makes the whole situation iffy. Still given the option, I'd rather support Bioware (a company I greatly love, no comments on EA) by buying their game via VPN than go for a pirated release.
I went on to ask about G2A. They said on that matter, even their information is speculative and while it is possible to try it, it isn't recommended since the game may not activate.
So this EA guy is saying it is a government issue.
Anyways the EA support have been contradictory on so many levels I don't know what to think. I got a reply saying it will not be possible, others here were told it will work 100% for dlc and MP also, others got reply saying it will only work for SP... :/ There seems to be zero communication among the EA support or a consensus.
What have u entered in the shipping address? In case I don't have someone's address there, what do I enter?
Just give any random address. Go to google, search for some hotel in a good city, give that address. And by the way wait till i get a confirmation from my friend. He just ordered it. The order has been processed. Waiting for the key. Patience.
