as a last resort you could use the EA live chat feature and see if one of their tech support people will add the games for you.
i did that last summer and one of the guys on there added about 6 games for me. i was pretty happy about that.

I tried to add the code through that link, but it didn't work. I sent an email to EA support and they replied in less than an hour, having added Mass Effect to my account and giving me a key for the Bring Down the Sky DLC (that nowadays you can only get emailing EA support, so...)
Origin support is way, way better than Steam's, thankfully.
What email address do you use to contact them, and what details do you need to give them?

Go to http://help.ea.com/, login with your Origin account and click in "Talk to a Game Advisor". You just have to fill the form

Okay, I did that, it was a little bit disturbing as it felt like talking to someone who was using a preprogrammed phrasebook, plus the guy's name was Depinder which I kept thinking said "Derpinder", but anyway yeah he asked me for the serial numbers which I gave him and he added the games to my Origin account. Thanks for the info.

How does greenmangaming work? If I were to buy a game through the site could I give it to someone else? Like if I bought a game that has to be registered to Origin, would there be a code I could just give to them?
Basically. I couldn't activate Bulletstorm on Origin, I suspect because it is a GFWL key. Alice and ME3 worked fine. Steamworks games too, obviously.

The game I'm getting ready to buy is Crysis 2, an Origin only game. I' wondering if I just get a code from gmg that I could give to someone.
Yes, you get a key.
Yeah, that's what I noticed. But if you're an Australian then the price on GMG is still $10 better than the price it's going for on Steam.
Correct on both counts, you will receive codes closer to release, and there should be no concerns about region locks
And per a request by one user, can't recall who/where (brainfail) I'll be trying to post more frequently on neogaf
Also in other news, we've put a new blog post up detailing our 2012 survey, which we invite everyone to complete (with a little bonus at the end), as well as a separate Gods & Kings offer available for 24 hours only

I'm surprised this thread isn't more active. GMG has killer pre-order deals.
There were some issues people were having that really soured the thread earlier on, but yes, great deals and I grabbed a copy of Commandos 3. What's not to like?

I know, getting credit for some games is the best thing ever. I could've gotten Quantum Conundrum for $6 on release date. I'm saving dat credit for Skullgirls on PC though.

They are region specific so if you are not living in the right spot (Europe I think for Ubi stuff? not sure) you get a 404.
New 25% off code. 25% off ALL the games!

Battlefield 3 Premium isn't cross platform is it? I have friends that play it on the 360 and if 1 Premium account worked on both PC and Xbox 360, i would consider it for this price.
Ugh, they're not likely to extend the offer right? GMG is so goddamn incompetent, every interaction I've had with them has been annoying at the least and at worst (best?) they gave me two working keys for Dead Island because they screwed up handling the keys.
Actually why would anyone buy from them instead of directly from ArenaNet if they charge the same price?
Because they charged $42 instead of $60.
Wait you mean they're charging $42 even without the site wide discount?
25% off + 3$ for trading in some free games they gave out there prior.
It doesn't use their service, but gives you a key right for Anet's site. Same place you get when you purchase directly from Anet.
Yeah so what I'm saying is that since they ran out keys and the 25% off offer will expire before they get more keys, what's the point of buying it from them for $60?
you made your own point, no one would buy from them unless they can sell it for less
I didn't know this thread existed, from what i've read and personal experience, i learned a few things:
- You cant get a full refund on preorder after 48 hours, after that the best you can get is store credit
- you can't refund an unused code unless you never received it. but sometimes, according to the system, it says you got it even when you really haven't so they think you already got your code and cannot give you a refund.
- customer service will respond within 3 days. i've contacted them twice, and both times they've taken full advantage of the 3 day rule.
- they offer a bomba deal like 25% off over the weekend when no one is around to maintain their system, so when they get back on on Monday they can say, "ohh sorry the offer is over, we can't help" (i know monday is the last day for the offer)
for the last point, PROVE ME WRONG GMG

Was a bit bitter with the whole sleeping dogs being cheaper of the weekend after i prepurchased it on an earlier deal, so i went to support.
And today they replied:
And that's how you develop loyalty folks. GMG will forever be my go to pc lot for prepurchases.

So buying the Guild Wars 2, I will get a key for the game, I can just download the client from the Guild Wars 2 official site and redeem the key, right? I won't need to use the Capsule client for anything and I won't need to download the game from Green Man Gaming, correct?
