Try this till you get a geneated alias from a state that does not have sales tax (oregon for example)

Then use the address it provides.

No guarantees.

Let me know if it works as i might use it for something else.

Just before you posted that I found another site - here

Used an address from state MA (Massachusetts). It worked and my CC got charged about $48.

Am now preloading using the Amazon downloader thing.

Does anyone know if they still send you a key as well?

This works. however, once I authenticate the release date will I be able to log back in with my Aus IP and play on Aus servers?

Id assume so. Since it says it just grabs the file too check for authentication, should work once its grabbed the file.

Done! Now activated that key with activate.ea.com and have it preloading on Origin now rather than using the Amazon thing

Provided that battlelog doesnt IP filter too, should be ready to rock and or roll.

I can't believe people are bitching and moaning about having to wait an extra day or two.. You've waited years, you'll own the game for years, stop being such an impatient bunch of nitwits.

I think everyone here is scared that OTHER people are going to rank up sooner than them

It's all about the e-peen.....

I couldn't believe the ranks of some people in the BF3 beta - I got to about rank 20 from a decent amount of gameplay (not excessive), but some were up to crazy ranks with odd symbols that I didnt even know what they meant
