Mirror’s Edge 50% off ($9.99) at Amazon Game Downloads
Mirror’s Edge is available at the EA store (America) for the same price so this might not be an exclusive deal. But it’s a great game and many stores still have it up for sale at $9.99 so you might want to try it out, specially if you trust the amazon downloader and key management system rather than EA’s (which is true in my case)

How to purchase Amazon.com downloadable games if you live outside the U.S.
I made my first game download purchase on Amazon.com recently and was initially confronted with a message saying that game downloads are only available to U.S. customers. Luckily, I already had a U.S. address attached to my Amazon account so all I had to do was to make that one my primary address.
If you are confronted with this situation, here’s what you have to do.
Register with VIAddress.com. They are a U.S. parcel forwarding service which provide you with a valid U.S. address.. FOR FREE. There customer care and PR is a bit on and off so I won’t advice using it for actual parcel forwarding. But you can add this address to Amazon.com and make it your primary address in order to buy game downloads.
If there’s a problem (Only read this if the above step is not sufficient)
I’m not sure whether you have to validate the address by having something delivered to it. I already had made purchases to my address. If this is the case, you could simply buy something small and cheap and have it sent to the address given to you by VIAddress. That should definitely work since the guys at VIAddress accept any delivery and you now have a solid U.S. address.
