FAQ

Is this legitimate?
Yes, Yuplay is a legitimate Russian online shop who sells retail game keys, like Amazon Digital Download Services.

Is the game in Russian only or international?
In the past Yuplay sold only BF3 games in Russian only and people had to use 3rd party software to make it English, but currently they are selling the international version.
Available languages:
Czech, English US, German, Spanish Spain, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Chinese Traditional

Edit(07-26): By what others report, it is possible that the shop has run out of International keys and started to give Russian language only keys. However, there are several methods to change the game's language to 100% English.

Is the game the Standard Edition or the Limited Edition?
It is the Standard Edition.

From where can I download the game? Can this version be activated on EA Origin?
You can download the game from Yuplay's server or from EA Origin.
Yes it can be activated. I have activated it on Origin and currently downloading it.
Screenshots:




Is there Region lock on Origin for this item?
No, there is no region lock for this item, everyone can activate it. I activated it in the EU.

Can my Origin account get banned for this?
Why would it get banned? That site is legit, they are not selling stolen keys.

What can I use to pay?
There are several methods to use for payment, probably the easiest and cheapest one for international customers is by credit card. Yuplay uses a Russian/Ukrainian financial site, RBK Money to handle credit card payments. I used Mastercard, all went well.
Paypal is not available.
note: some people reported that there might be problem with certain Visa cards.

Do I pay in US Dollars?
No. You pay in Russian Rubles, your credit card issuer will handle currency exchange. The actual price of the game may vary on current exchange rates.

Do I need to register on the Yuplay website to purchase?
Yes, you need to create an account to handle purchases. Tip: on the right-up side of the site you can change the language from Russian to English, that really helps with the registration.

Can I purchase several BF3s?
No. Yuplay only allows 1 of the same game /account.

I can't find my cd-key, where is it?
Here:




Is there really no region lock and the game is really in English?
Yes and yes. After the download finished I gave the game a try. Here are the screenshots I made:





Does the Extended Edition have English language too or only the Standard that you linked?
By what others reported, the Extended Edition does not have English, only Russian language.

When will the sale end?
The sale ends on July 30.


Thats all, hope I helped.

See you on the battlefield, soldier!

 

......$9.........THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!! I can't believe they are still charging more than $5 for this game pffffttttt

*sarcasm ends*

I'm definitely snatching this deal up.


edit: Right after I find a translator apparently

 

They should still pay us for the amount of unwelcome problems they've given us with Origin and the closed servers. But good job on whoever set this up.

And it's not like EA actually police their system for cheaters.. or fake accounts and hacked product keys anyway. So you're completely safe, just in case it's a scam.

 

Game for 9 bucks plus premium if you want the DLC content makes it a epic deal i guess.
Thanks for sharing this.

 

when i try to buy it, it says $299, would they charge $299 US to my credit card? because when i try to login to my bank, it says $299, doesnt mention its in russian rubles, so can anyone clarify?

 

Does anyone know how long this deal is on for? I'm not at home right now and would like to pick this up for that price.

 

Does anyone know how to actually buy it using paypal and activate it over origin?

 

think u can use credit card

 

Ah, okay. But how do you buy (which button?) and how do you use it over EA origin? (transfer key?/etc?)

I'm looking at the extended ed. for about 13$

 

think they give you a key, look at the screenshots by the op. then you enter the key in origin, which activates it, choose language and then you can download. not sure about extended edition. tell me how it goes

 

I'm at school now, but I'll report in after I buy the BF3 extended

Btw, OP had Yuplay using english, how do you set Yuplay so it displays english without translator?

 

there is a drop box at the top right that you can choose language. the description is still in russian though, though some of the interface turn english

 

Just bought mine, chose the fourth option "RBK Money", after fiddling (was in russian) around I was directed to my bank's payment webpage. Paid and just activated it in origin! Thanks OP!

 

Is that the one with a VISA logo?

I wonder if russian rubles is going to be charged instead of US dollars on your credit card, or it's automatically converted to US dollars at today's rate

 

pretty sure it would be converted. how would they charge russian rubbles to your US credit card lol

 

Lol, sorry for being a noob at credit cards

I will buy the BF3-extended tommorow

 

where are they offering the extended version? and how much is it?

 

It has always worked. It's a legit website, but do take notice that it is a russian website... although it has always worked perfectly for me, you save MASSIVE money

 

Its a secure page?

is the currency in dollar or russian ruble? because when i try to pay with my credit card, it does not mention rubles, so can anyone with experience clarify?

 

Anyone in doubt. I took some screenshots for you to show that it is indeed legit. PS the price is IN russian rubles, I can read and speak russian

NOTICE: I removed my acc name, CD key and friends, so it's all there, I just blended it with the background, enjoy

Spoiler

 

Sorry for Double post but damn it, does it have to be with credit card? I only have paypal and thats tied to my checkings account ._.

 

Like I said it in the OP, using PayPal is not possible.

 

doh, shoulda read it in its entirety then, still waking up sorta


I guess this isn't like steam where you can trade games or gift item keys right?

 

no

unless you haven't used the code.. I mean you could probably trade with someone, physically

 

You can't send a giftcode with this?

D:

 

Gifting is not possible at Yuplay, just like it is not possible at Green Man Gaming. If you want to gift the game, give the code itself.

 

Can anyone buy this for me? I can pay you through paypal

 

Does this mean you can't buy the game with a same Yuplay account twice to give it to your friend?

 

make a new account and make a new alias on your hotmail

 

Yeah same here. I've tried a couple of cards, but my card isn't working on the damn site.

Anyone willing to hook a brother up will be mighty welcome.

 

woot bought it my credit card works with it

 

ARGGG! I just bought it for $40!

 

Talk to EA Support and tell them there was a scratch on your digital download.

They mightttt refund you the money.

 

Thanks mayn (+ rep), I just picked this up on my visa card. Between this and all the deals i made in the steam summer sale, I should be set when my new alienware m17 shows up later this week

 

Now, if only a real nice deal for BF3 Premium pops up...

 

My bank card (Visa) was denied. But I spoke with a very helpful lady through RBK Money's online chat support who explained why, in English. I will try another method. What a deal...

 

So what is this? They are selling stolen cd-keys or something?

 

doubt its stolen, mine is verified on origin and downloading. think yuplay.com is legit

 

Just tried paying with a Visa, it does not work. With talking to them, Master card is the one that works as of now. Damn

 

Also having issues with my VISA, don't have a Mastercard though. Just Visa, Discover, and Amex. Never thought I'd need another. Anyone willing to place an order for me? I can pay you back via Paypal or most any method.

 

I just tried my bank card as well (it being Visa) and it wouldn't fall through :/

I dont have credit cards x-x

 

Doesn't like my VISA card.

 

With talking to them, they said it might be resolve later but as of now no VISA .

 

but i did pay with visa just this morning (6 hours ago)

 

I paid with VISA, and they accepted on the same time..when i get home just have to donwload it *-*.

Edit: Internation VISA Credit Card! Check if yours is International.

 

is there a deadline as to when this sale ends?

 

I think the sale ends on July 30.

 

It seems that the Mass Effect 3 Digital Deluxe Edition (Collector's Edition) has a discount too on Yuplay, it is only 750 Ruble ($23).

I wonder if that has English language too on Origin, like Battlefield 3...does anyone care to try it out and share the information with the community ?

 

if someone could buy it for me i could pay them with paypal lol
