Origin $20 off coupon [Expired - EA states they're honoring games]

Bah, seems like the hard limit of 2 uses per account is true. Only thing I really regret missing out on are BF2142 and BF:BC2: Vietnam. As it is I finally managed to get some games I already own registered on Origin: Crysis & Warhead, Dead Space, Mass Effect (annoyingly they've always had the Pinnacle Station DLC available for me to download but not the freaking base game) and the Saboteur. New games I picked up were Mercs 2, C&C3: Kane's Wrath and DA2 (free trumps "it sucks") and the Mirror's Edge DLC. Now to see what EA does about this in the morning.

It's not two uses per account. It's two uses per browser, per private browsing.

I've done 5 transactions already just to see what the limitations are.

Good luck! ;)

Also no way they can ban someone for this, it isn't illegal to put in a promo code, we aren't genius hackers that thwarted EA, it's a fuckup either on them or the promo code maker.

The term of the deal say it's one use only. The Origin terms of service say they can ban you for any reason. Mass banning everyone who downloaded multiple games would be perfectly legal, but it would cause a PR shitstorm.

I'd imagine they'd be banning quite a few people for abusing this coupon. I'm sure a ton of people will get in on this before it stops working. There's no way they'd ban that many.

I'm sure they'd just take the games away, somehow. I dunno.

lol yes!

I can confirm the site version still works. Snagged around 7 games on my second checkout just now.

My first checkout was Sabatuer which I was just testing to see if it works.

what are you waiting for
My first order with this was more ambitious and included the Spore expansion pack, which brought my total for 9 games to $9.99. That one 503'd at the end, so I made my second order (which just barely made it through) of six games for free.

I was gonna give them some money, but their servers refused to let me!

Actually the payment info options were completely removed during my successful order, so I couldn't enter anything in if I wanted to. But I didn't have to!

Did you have to do anything special to use the same account? I purchased through the client at first, then tried the site and it won't let me. Just ended up making a second account.

Wow. It looks like EA has created the ultimate DRM scheme, so easy to use.

I logged out of the origin client and logged back on, 2nd time it worked (if you do check out twice in one session, it'll say invalid code).

What exactly do you need? Just an account? Because I can probably make one for you really quick but I can't attempt to get any games at the moment. Gotta get some sleep. Also, this is supposed to run until the 21st, so there may still be hope.

Negative.

Just did it 3 times in a row.

The site was slowing down to a crawl before, but I think everyone gave up now so I just blazed through the last 2 orders.
