Haha, if it asks for cc info that means you're paying.

I think he's saying that he can't get the games free anymore and that Origin's now asking for card info (which happens to everyone when they reach their limit), not that the's been purchasing it with his card.

Edit: beaten, lol

 

[wilflare]

for some reason it does not work on Spore

 

[RibbedHero]

for some reason it does not work on Spore

Worked for me.

After logging in and getting asked for my CC, upon going back to my basket my games are always discounted to $8. What's up with that? Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

 

[Tc91]

Haha, if it asks for cc info that means you're paying.

It asks me for CC info once. I didn't enter one of course. It means your paying.

Well, gonna clear cache and cookies again.

Well just because it asks for CC info doesn't mean I'm stupid enough to enter it.

Worked fine before without asking for the CC but after 2 games it is now asking for it.

Guess something is borked for me.

Thank you sir

 

[The Wizard]

Got everything I wanted from Origin now. Bulletstorm, Crysis, Crysis Warhead,Need for Speed: hot pursuit and The Saboteur. EA sure is generous.

 

[sanji_blue]

Managed to get Hot Pursuit, but now it's asking for my CC info. Why do you want to charge me EA? I just want free gamez...

 

[wilflare]

does the invalid promo code error mean you've hit the limit?
got about 3 games.
1 on account a
2 on account b

 

[Jarmel]

Fuck, still getting Payment Authorization Failed.

 

[Mavromatis]

Isn't downloading a game supposedly something you should not be able to do, but because some people circumvented the measures against it it can? Wouldn't it be the case of people with 20 games, when the website is telling you that the code is invalid once it has been used? So morally, it's a one time use. They screwed up? Yes, they did. But it's not like we're doing a right thing exploiting it. getting one game for free is not exploiting it, as it seems to be the purpose of expanding origin. So it's a trade of non-benefits from ea to promote the service. 20 times... not so much.

Getting separate accounts may be an exploit but trying again on different computers/browsers isn't. There is no limit for this coupon, I think (not sure though), the cookie is giving a time limit. Because many people trying after a period of time managed to get another game using that code. But the final answer must be given by EA.

Also seeing that their active twitter account @AskEASupport isn't talking about it I'd say they are not caring about this or they planned it this way.

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

Alice Madness Returns

Did you get this for free? It's listed as $30.

 

[Xyber]

Fuck, still getting Payment Authorization Failed.

Same here. Sucks since I only want Dragon Age Origins.

Did you get this for free? It's listed as $30.

It was discounted about 18 hours ago.

 

[zephervack]

So is it just me or the store is down, would be funny if they put it offline to fix this hahahaha, i'd like to imagine them just pulling the power cord.

 

[MC RaZaR]

Got Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age Origins II. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[PaulLFC]

Got FIFA 12 free, so I was going to see if I could get the UEFA Euro 2012 DLC too but it doesn't seem like they sell it in the US. I know it's Europe-focussed obviously, but still, strange decision. I would have thought the tournament is quite big worldwide.

 

[1138]

Picked up DA2, Mirror's Edge and Medal of Honor. Thanks for the tip GAF!

 

[Slayer-33]

Just got DS 2 lol..

3 games so far, + BStorm/SHIFT 2


-CC info shit is popping up again.. Wtb NFS HP

 

[Htown]

Hey, guys who are having trouble with GFWL, try going to Xbox.com, logging in with your gamertag and accepting the new terms of service. See if that fixes the issue.

 

[ksdixon]

Doesn't seem to be working for me?
Says invalid code?

 

[Spazo]

invalid code mean that you need to delete your cookies

 

[Hex]

Site is getting murdered

 

[Slayer-33]

God dammit whats with the credit card shit, I cleared the cache/cookies but it's popping up during checkout now. Anyway to get past it?

 

[CrashPrime]

God dammit whats with the credit card shit, I cleared the cache/cookies but it's popping up during checkout now. Anyway to get past it?

Not really. The code will only work so many times. Most here have it quit at around 3-4 times.

 

[blitzcloud]

invalid code mean that you need to delete your cookies

Trying on different pcs does not work either. So i'd say nope.

 

[Spazo]

I think it is because of the limit.

I was able to get 2 games before that

 

[Shadowhaxor]

Something may be up, not getting the standard ordered message anymore. Now I get this;

"Thank you for your order. Your order is being processed and you will be notified of the result shortly."

Or come be that the site is getting completely hammered

 

[Slayer-33]

I think it is because of the limit.

Yep only got 2 a few hours ago and was able to pickup DS 2 but I can't get more games now lol

 

[ksdixon]

cleared cookies. logged back in, re-selected item, still says invalid promo code.

 

[Whogie]

Don't be logged in while adding items.

 

[blitzcloud]

we... are not? Is anyone able to still make multiple purchases?

 

[statham]

got
Crysis & Warhead, Shift 2, SimCity 4, Simcity societies, Dead space 2, Metal of honor, C&C 4, Tiger woods and spore & spore creator. oh and a bunch of sims 3 packs. Think I'm done.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

invalid code mean that you need to delete your cookies

nope.

different browsers, different computers, different operating systems.

 

[Madrugador]

Got Hot Pursuit and Shift 2. It doesn't let my get any more.

 

[ksdixon]

Doesn't look like I'll be playing SimCity 4 then

 

[Shadowhaxor]

Anyone getting confirmation emails anymore?

 

[Parham]

I only managed to get Spore and the Karkand expansion, which is fine since that is more than I ever really wanted or needed from Origin.

Anyone getting confirmation emails anymore?

Yes, I did.

 

[Gintoki]

Anyone getting confirmation emails anymore?

Yep, but it took a while after checking out.

 

[PolarBearsClub]

Anyone getting confirmation emails anymore?

I got one half an hour ago.

 

[plainr_]

So SimCity Societies or SimCity 4? Haven't played any of these games before.

 

[Link Man]

Managed to get Mass Effect thanks to Internet Explorer, and that makes 3. Can't seem to get any more.

 

[Complex Shadow]

I just kept trying and it worked for me eventually.

ive been trying all day. nothing.

 

[statham]

the one positive for EA, alot of people have now installed Origin and will be playing games on Origin. and besides Crysis/warhead I doubt I would have bought any of these games and only would have bought crysis when it dropped to $5 bucks.

 

[Crayons]

the one positive for EA, alot of people have now installed Origin and will be playing games on Origin.

Not only that, the number of accounts registered since yesterday are probably more than the amount they've had ever.

 

[Red Blaster]

picked up RA3 to add on to Crysis Warhead and The Saboteur which I got last night

 

[MasterShotgun]

So SimCity Societies or SimCity 4? Haven't played any of these games before.

SimCity 4 easily.

 

[Anarkin]

Code still works but now I'm getting the "Payment Authorization Failed" error.

 

[Scrabble]

Okay so I finally somehow got this to work and this is fuckin crazy. I'm just downloading games left and right. Surely this is too good to be true and ea's gonna take back all these games? Right?

 

[inm8num2]

Used the code once last night on 9 games. Keep trying today but I get the "Invalid Promo Code" error. I don't feel like making multiple accounts and all that. I got enough, but I'm curious how people keep doing multiple transactions on the same accounts.

Went from Origin client, to Firefox and am now making a third purchase on Internet Explorer.

 

[Metal Gear?!]

Is anyone finding the slickdeals prices not counting anymore? I did it with Mass Effect 2 and it worked, since ME2 is $19.99, but when I tried ME3 with the Slickdeals link to make it $12.00 the code just wouldn't work. And I tried ME3 first, ME2 is just so I know it was still working.

 

[The One Who Knocks]

Just wondering, was this fixed? I've already managed to get Dragon Age Origins, Awakening, Bulletstorm, The Sims 2, The Sabouter and Mirror's Edge (all on different accounts, I can't make more than one purchase per account) but when trying to get Battlefield Bad Company 2 I ended up at this page:
