This is a global version of Overwatch, so you can play in any region

You need to create an account with Argentina set as the country, you can than purchase it from the webstore or from the battle.net laucher

Unfortunately you can not gift the game from this region onto another account

Origins edition is also available for 400 ARS

GIFTABLE VERSION -

If you register with a mexico account instead, for ~$33.50 AUD, you will then able to purchase a giftable version which can then be used on an existing account

NOTE
If you have any difficulty paying by card, add the card to your account first

    Damn. Good price. paid 35 a week or two ago using ARS

  • hzac on 29/12/2016 - 22:39

    I have it on PS4 got it a week ago. Should I consider getting it on PC aswell/instead of?

    33$ is quite cheap for what appears (at this stage) to be quite fun when you have the right team

    • Merlict on 30/12/2016 - 00:13

      PC version is objectively better, but if your friends are on console that's important too

      Just remember your stats / loot will be completely reset if you change version.

      • hzac on 30/12/2016 - 00:16

        I'm allowed to own both though on one battle.net account correct? I understand if the stats don't transfer

        • Merlict on 30/12/2016 - 00:20

          Sure.

    • yellowrhino93 on 30/12/2016 - 17:55

      as someone who plays on both (and have friends on both) the main advantage of PC is fine control. The issue with using a controller is the sensitivity isn't as smooth and is objectively harder on console.

      On a personal note I prefer it on pc as it's an FPS but each to their own

  • grizz_li on 30/12/2016 - 00:31

    Alright buying this now.
    Held off for so long as I have a large backlog to complete.

    So you then have to have a separate 2nd (Argentina) account? That's not useful.

    Thanks for this post. Bought it for $35 AUD with the mexico account so I could gift it to my main account. Added my paypal details to the mexico account first before purchasing and it worked without any problems.

    • juzzayy on 30/12/2016 - 03:38

      How did you do it? I made a mexico account but it says it's on sale from 999 down to 699 MXN. But that translates to 46 AUD, not 35 or whatever?

      • Gmetal on 30/12/2016 - 07:33

        weird, said 499 MXN last night for me

        Make sure you select the standard version not the "origins edition" which is selected by default.

  • minijumbuk on 30/12/2016 - 06:59

    How alive are the australian servers? Do you know how many people still play it online? Last time I bought a PC game it was Starwars Battlefront and it was dead after a few months. Couldn't find a game to play for hours.

    • THX on 30/12/2016 - 07:17

      still very live, although in the late nights around 3am - 8am no one really plays but the community is quite large. it's a good game would recommend
      you'll find a game within 3 minutes depending on the mode you play

    • johnno07 on 30/12/2016 - 07:53

      Alive and kicking and doesn't show any signs of slowing down yet. Absolutely massive player base.

    • ConspiracyCat on 30/12/2016 - 08:03

      Australia actually plays in the same region as the US even though we have servers here in AUS so you should get really good ping and still have the player pool of the American population from how I understand it.

    • unelectric on 30/12/2016 - 10:53

      The playerbase is gigantic. Even at 2am you won't struggle to find games

    • HerpinDerp on 30/12/2016 - 11:02

      Very alive.

      Even at very high rated games it doesn't take long to find a match.

    • Top G on 30/12/2016 - 13:13

      probably the biggest online pc game in Aus for people with capable PC's, I guess LoL would be more popular with people on lower tier systems

    • CaptainOrgazmo on 30/12/2016 - 17:35

      Been playing since end of June till now with over ~250hours logged. Located in Brisbane and 95% of matches get hooked up to local Aussie servers with ~35ms ping (I heard its 15-20ms if you on NBN). Wait time on quickplay (casual mode) varies but usually between 30-90secs. Recently started playing competitive hitting mid gold level and wait time is quite variable sitting betwen 10-180secs. Would definitely recommend you give it a ago at this price, especially if you have friends playing. As with other online games you will run into toxic players every now and then but just ignore them.

  • newbiesh on 30/12/2016 - 09:55

    this game is soooo good! totally worth it.
    stopped playing bf1 and cod after this.

  • soaringphoenix on 30/12/2016 - 10:12

    A lot of reviews state that this game isn't very fun to play without friends. Does anyone have any thoughts on that? (none of my friends play video games so I'd be playing solo).

    • grizz_li on 30/12/2016 - 11:18

      Make new friends while playing online.

    • maxxpowa on 30/12/2016 - 17:31

      I play solo 90% of the time. When you find a good group you find yourself quickly being invited to stay with them - so you make friends as you go. The community is (mostly) pretty good.

    • CaptainOrgazmo on 30/12/2016 - 17:45

      Pretty much what grizz_li and maxxpowa said. Don't be afraid to solo queue your games especially at first, you will meet and make many friends while playing. If you perform well alot of people will even invite you to join their group. Just remember to ignore toxic players, don't let them drag you down, mute them if they irritate you.

  • [Deactivated] on 30/12/2016 - 10:18

    Giftable version is saying 699 MXN now :(

    Update, that was for Origins edition. Standard is still 499.

  • minijumbuk on 30/12/2016 - 10:29

    How do you guys pay for it? I don't want to pay foreign transaction fee on my credit card

      28 degrees card. Or Citibank visa debt. Both good free cards to have. The citi is also great travelling.

      • sheepdog on 30/12/2016 - 12:12

        Just FYI, they're changing the Citibank Visa debt to charge you on international transactions - i think it comes into play in March.

        • Xizor on 30/12/2016 - 12:55
          +1

          S.O.B's!!!!

          So a 2.5% fee on international transactions makes this card useless for online shopping from then? Do you know if changes using it in foreign ATM's? Is a foreign ATM withdrawal classified as an international transaction?

    • [Deactivated] on 30/12/2016 - 15:27

      My ANZ Travel Adventures card has no foreign fee.

    Seems like it keeps on saying my credit card details are wrong (even if i save a card to the mexican account first). Triple checked and all, can't seem to figure out how to pay. My billing details can't be on Mexico right? I'd have to say billing to Australia

  • ashxu on 30/12/2016 - 22:54

    Doesn't seem to work with Paypal if you try to buy a gift with a Mexican account with Paypal. I tested my AUS account and Paypal successfully goes to the buy page. It just says there's an error if I try with an Mexican account if I try to pay via Paypal.

    EDIT: I added Paypal as my default payment method on the account instead of choosing at checkout. It seems to be processing now.

    • ashxu on 31/12/2016 - 01:00

      EDIT 2: Took 1-2 hours but it finally went through and worked. Just make sure to add your Paypal as a payment method rather than directly at the checkout

    Went to purchase this as a giftable version from mexican account to my aus account. It was in queued and then it disappeared from order history.

    The response from a GM was "Chulholut 14:33:23 Likely due to your account being set to Mexico but your being in Australia. So paying in Pesos wouldn't work there."

  • nstyle on 31/12/2016 - 18:28

    • JimmyJohnson on 31/12/2016 - 18:40

      Got the same message and then the response I posted above ^, I used paypal though. I'm trying for a second time and its coming up to 4 hours waiting in 'queued'. Will probably try using my card instead of paypal if it fails again. Keep me updated on your progress if you could please, want to know if its still working

  • Kronovix on 26/01/2017 - 17:36

    Can anyone confirm this? When you're purchasing a giftable version of Overwatch on a Mexican account via paypal, it doesn't give you the option to send it to an email, while paying the game with an international credit card gives you that option. Can anyone confirm that paying a giftable version of Overwatch via paypal actually gives you the option to send the activation code (or however you receive the game) to an email? Sounds stupid I know, but I want to be safe. Thanks.
