ok, Had a fuck around with VPN’s and using flyvpn free account was able to change the release date time from 6 days to 3 days.
Looking at the BF4 forums people have had the go ahead from the EA guys for using VPN’s (though the tweets were taken down by EA)
But fuck it, I’m going to be using the VPN to unlock the game, fuck the archaic, outdated games release rules.
Edit pre-ordered BF4, but the preload might be the arse kicker. preload for UK is 31st Oct, 26th Oct for the states. Probably need the VPN to preload early…..but downloading god only knows how many Gb’s thru VPN might be a problem.
The game god’s really need to sort worldwide release dates out. 🙁
