Expat Problems with EA Store

Volkira · 04-11-2009, 01:24 PM

I'm an Australian living in Germany.

Why is it I can't use the UK shop and make purchases from Germany so I can play games in English.

I want to purchase Dragon Age and future add ons from the Uk site as I speak English and not German.

But when I try to use the Uk shop webpage I am automatically taken to the German EA shop page.

I have had to purchase the game via Amazon UK to overcome this annoying system EA has in place.That's fine but my concerns come when I need to purchase the future digital add ons.

It doesn't seem like I will be able too unless I purchase and download them from the German site.Which is just stupid unless EA can guarantee that the German digital downloads will have English audio options when installed.

Oh and will EA accept my Australian credit card for Euro purchases or will I get the stupid message...Not accepted for freudulant reasons...and I thought we were all suppose to be a part of one global village..boink on the head what was I thinking.

Thank god Amazon aren't so narrow minded.

Please EA do something about this as I'm not the only expat that will want to buy this game and expansions.
