I think there is thread in this forum for guys relating to Origin and that too from Origin Mexico.I don't know how they can buy from Origin Mexico because our Origin is too costly.I never tried.

^Using Mexico Proxy, add the game to cart. But while paying disable to proxy and use Indian Debit Card and Indian address. No issues.

Entropay VCC does not work on origin.ICICI debit card works and a few other indian debit cards also work, all credit cards work AFAIK.

Origin India is crap anyways. Games are overpriced, I have many games on Origin but never purchased from their store, always purchased from TPDs.

Interesting - Paypal can be added as a payment method from account settings. But while purchasing, you don't get any option to pay using Paypal. So Origin is expensive and makes it much harder to purchase games as well? :evil:

Origin Mexico is one alternative or one can order from US itself.
