Can't you link your account from your country? That is what I have. I'm from Sweden so I don't know if that makes any difference. I thought that was the purpose of Paypal, to make it easier to make transactions.

Sweden, Yes!

Bad judgement from you? If you are unable to control yourself and continue to make the same mistake that you later regret, you better learn from it, but you apparently don't. So that is on you.

The post flew over your head so not my fault. Also, I haven't preordered anything in 2016 and in fact the only 2016 release I bought was doom and that was towards the end of the year.

The fact is that you apparently made the mistake to judge games on the hype. What else did you want to say with that post?

And whether you bought something last year or not is not something that have any bearing here. The point was that you bought multiple game on pre-order and didn't like it, yet you continued to pre-order, what is there to say other than you are a slow learner? It is good that you have decided to not pre-order and instead wait, but there is people that have so far not regretted to pre-order so why should they listen to you?

For me it is simple, the people that are pre-ordering is not going to be swayed by any argument that those that are not going to pre-order are having. And it is the same thing the other way.

Yep. You should be able to link any.. Also if you have Bank account card, you can link that too. Same way as credit card, it will have the long number and verifying code in it. Hopefully you get everything sorted way or another

And I guess I could answer to the topic

Yes, I did pre-order and I couldn't care less what anyone thinks about it.

It doesn't matter if it would be crap (I don't think it will..), I don't take these kind of things passionately into any direction. My life has far more important things to hype about I've payed from games (decided not to mention names..) a lot of money and not played it more than few hours, but so not.

I'm still happy to have pre-ordered.

I knew I would buy it as soon as possible anyway. Even if I wouldn't have bought it on release day (unlikely) I'd still get it. No matter the reviews. I want to make up my own mind about the game. And since I loved the trilogy (all three) I'm not particularly worried. Actually I'm not worried at all. Nothing I've seen so far has made me rethink my decision.

Sure, if ME3 burned people so badly I can see why you wouldn't want to pre-order. That's not me though. It's one of my most played games in quite some time.

Thanks to my tax refund, I was able to pay off my preorder of the Deluxe Edition on PS4 as well as that die cast "collector's Edition". I normally would get it on both Xbone and PS4 since I got the trilogy on PS3 and 360 (no regrets), but since EA stupidly are not including the game with a game's collector's edition anymore, the Xbone version will wait.

SPOILER: Click to show

(seriously, what the flying **** is with that practice? If I had more of a spine and didn't care about having a complete set to go with my other 3 ME Collector's Editions, I would have refused to get it just for that reason. It even has a damn steelbook for the game but no game itself for crying out loud. I mean, as stupid as Halo 5's $250 CE was, at least it included a digital copy of the game instead of no game whatsoever...)

You can. You just need to link your Bank account to your Paypal.

You can pay by linked credit card, by linked account or by transferring money to your Paypal account.

Not sure if I can help more because don't know where your problem is, but here's one link

I can link an US bank account, but i'm not from the US and the idea to use Paypal was to avoid the credit card. But thanks regardless, i sent an e-mail to LOLrigins on the weekend to see if they can fix this situation and they said that during this week i should recive an email from them with the answer.

You can pay for something with your PayPal balance. You can top up your PayPal balance directly from your bank account via a DDI in the 'add funds' section in your account(depending on your country, UK, NA, IT, FR, DE, AU) or you can use the PayPal Top up feature to transfer money (again not every county has this)

If you are not from a country that can add funds with a bank account, then you need to add either a debit or a credit card or get someone to send you a payment.

If you don't mind me asking, what country are you from? I can give more accurate info if I know.

In my experience, EA takes the money from you as soon as pre-order in Origin, rather than using an Auth and Capture system BUT it might be different in Chile. From looking at the features PayPal offers in Chile, you shouldn't be having any issues, so EA might have a custom integration that prevents certain funding sources from being used.

I haven't pre-orderd yet.

Recently bought a PS4 Pro, and as an avid PC gamer with a huge library of unplayed games, I felt I needed somekind of library of unplayed games on my PS4 too.

That and being in between jobs (started new job today) has made my cash reserves a little too low for my liking.

And I'd like to pre-order Horizon Zero Dawn too very soon. So ME:A will have to wait a bit.

I might pre-order the game because of pre-loading. My internet speed is a total disaster.

And also because there will be 10 hours trial for me to watch online to see is game worth to buy.

Yeah, some companies have different payment integrations for different countries. This is to incorporate local payment methods and regulations, so not all global companies work the same all over the world. It's even the same with PayPal, the products and funding methods they offer depends on the licence they have in a country or region.

As an aside, my inner fintech nerd really has come out in this thread

I tend to pre-order games I plan on taking time off work to play. This makes sure I can actually play the game instead of spending the whole day downloading it or going around shops looking for it. Also if I plan on taking time off to play a game it means I'm excited enough by it that I like the pre-order bonuses or any swag that comes with a collectors edition.

Otherwise I don't bother, the game will be available to buy whenever I've got the time to play it.

So far with this policy, the only game I've pre-ordered and been disappointed by was Fallout 4.

I understand why critics and fans say not to pre-order, I really do, which is why I've significantly reduced the amount of games I preorder and developed these rules for myself. (I used to preorder everything), but as a person with game time so limited I have to plan in advance when I'm going to play a game, I don't think I can stop entirely.
