Does this work in South Africa?A couple of "free" games if you have an Amazon Prime subscription.
You can also get this with a trial account and you can cancel the recurring subscription afterwards.
Games includes Mass Effect Legendary Edition and a few other. You link it to your Origin account.

Hi Kabal.Does this work in South Africa?
Seems I have to pay R79 which I would obviously do if it is going to result in me having ME:LE
Yep! It does. Just sign up for Amazon Prime for the trial period (unless you're paying for it now!) and then grab the games.Hi Kabal.
I just did a test with a new account and the free trial. So it will only charge the R79 once the 7day trial is over. I just claimed Mass Effect LE to another EA account and my total for transaction costs were R9.00. Afterwards I just canceled my sub so that it won't go off in 7 days.
Apologies, this is technically not free then for us in RSA.
For better clarity as I type like a monkey, overall it will cost you R9.

I already did my prime trial, but R80 ME:LE + the rest is a steal.
I am sure there are some Amazon Prime shows that i'll watch in the next month too
So I managed to sign up for a free trial, got charged R10 (which was immediately reversed), claimed all the games and cancelled my subscription (top tip: you cancel it via the Amazon Video website where you select Prime and not the usual Amazon.com or .uk sites), and still get to enjoy free benefits for the rest of the trial. Do I feel guilty? Sure. LOL. But I'll take free stuff. This is good!Oh snap almost forgot to mention. Mass Effect Legendary Edition is only claimable for the 12th & 13th of July 2022.

It hung for me on confirming my address. Confirming my address didn't take the process further. Ironically I discovered that I had to go back a few times out of that screen and I was then able to start the subscription.For some reason I can’t activate Prime Gaming, anybody else have that issue?
You used a South African address? I don’t see us on the list of supported countriesIt hung for me on confirming my address. Confirming my address didn't take the process further.

It seems if you have prime video that sub counts towards the gaming option, or am I mistaken?Yep! It does. Just sign up for Amazon Prime for the trial period (unless you're paying for it now!) and then grab the games.
