i wanted to buy this C&C collection but i cannot get it here from germany, says the product is not available in your region, now i wanted to ask a friend from the US to buy it for me and send over the code so i can activate it on my origin account.

http://www.gamestop.com/pc/games/command-conquer-the-ultimate-collection/104614

is it possible? or can it be that i cannot activate a US code with a german origin account.

and another question, will it be the US uncut version or cut german versions?

I can't say for sure, but I believe that you can activate the US key and it will be the US uncut version. However it might not have German language. From what I saw some games on Origin are language-locked instead of being region-locked (i.e. Russian version of Mass Effect 3 only has Russian language and no English), while others are language-free as in multilanguage.

i just thought getting the collection for origin instead of the games which are on sale on steam atm. as there seems no difference.

My roommate got a Russian SimCity deluxe key that activated fine and installed in English. Can't say that means 100% yes for everything. It did for that though.

Ich habe bisher noch keinen region-lock feststellen können (Brasilien). Wenn ich mich richtig erinere, konnte ich bei manchen Games sogar die Version/Sprachen aussuchen. Davon abgesehen gibt es meines Wissens nach keine cuts (bei Origin insgesamt (ausgenommen Bulletstorm) und bei C&C überhaupt).
Dein problem ist nämlich, dass gamestop will, dass du deren deutschen store benutzt, weil da da die Collection viiiiiiel günstiger ist :D
