[Hero_of_the_Day]

Well, it let me use it one last time and only on one game. Grabbed Bulletstorm for the hell of it. Now I get an invalid code message. Four free games. Not bad.

EDIT: Cancel that, just let me use it again on their website instead of through the client. Command and Conquer 4 is now mine as well.

 

[Enco]

So... Nothing for europe?

What's a Europe?

Is that a city in Americuh?

 

[zeelman]

It doesn't work on Kingdoms of Amalur.

 

[benjipwns]

What's a Europe?

Is that a city in Americuh?

A suburb of San Francisco I believe.

EDIT: Actually, maybe it's a moon of Jupiter? I thought it was a real place for some reason.

 

[Sax Russel]

I got 5 games last night in one order.... woke up, randomly decided I wanted Shift 2 as well, just got that free too. What a great deal =P

 

[Grief.exe]

The promo worked on Saboteur. But then I forgot my Origin password, as I always do. I made a new password. Then Origin went down. Damn you, EA.

Sorry if this has been asked, but does that KOTOR MMO come with a free month's subscription when you buy it? It's only $15, why not give it a shot for free?

Its going free to play in about a month or so, not sure on the exact date.
Code probably doesn't work on it as well.

 

[RionaaM]

Not only the Origin store shows me the European site and prices in euros, but it also seems to not want to accept the code. EA, you fail at even giving things for free.

 

[Crayons]

We are all going to be banned from Origin.

 

[wildfire]

I was interested in the first Darksiders but it wasn't eligible for the discount. I got Mirror's Edge and look forward to playing it after I reach the level cap in Guild Wars 2.

 

[Trigger]

Code doesn't work on any games I actually want, and even for free I don't think I'd want to play DAII again. I'm jealous of the earlier poster who got Sims 3 stuff packs. ;_;

 

[wildfire]

You used the code multiple times?

[edit] OMG I can use it multiple times. Too bad I already have Mass Effect 1 and 3 since I'm not terribly interested in any of the other games that can use this discount.

 

[TheContact]

I was only able to discount one game, it wouldn't let me do multiple ones in the same cart

 

[LordCanti]

We are all going to be banned from Origin.

The only game I have on there is Battlefield 3; I'm fully prepared for this eventuality.

I had multiple EA accounts, and each of them is the proud owner of a new game. I regret nothinggggggggggggggg.

 

[kingocfs]

Site is totally down on my end.

 

[LogicStep]

How are you guys using the code more than once?

 

[Wonko_C]

Shift 2, Dead Space 2, Bulletstorm, here I go!

Edit: aaand Dead Space 1 too just for the heck of it.

 

[Manus]

How are you guys using the code more than once?

Multiple Origin accounts.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Site is totally down on my end.

Clear your cookies? Site isn't down.

 

[Trigger]

Site is totally down on my end.

I can't use the Origin client either.

EDIT-Let me clear mah cookies.

 

[Ifrit]

Fuck you region locking, that's why steam is better

 

[Crayons]

Fuck you region locking, that's why steam is better

Steam doesn't give free games.

 

[TheContact]

I was just able to get another game for free. Mass effect 2. Looks like you can still use the code multiple times. Not sure if it only worked because now I'm trying it at my work computer, but I still used the same account.

 

[Dead Prince]

Steam doesn't give free games.

if you buy certain games ;P

 

[Grinchy]

Decided to add Crysis just now. Couldn't get it to do multiple games either and didn't feel like bothering anymore.

PROXY HERE I COME

 

[Nokagi]

Couldn't get any of the games I really wanted to work so finally just settled with Command and Conquer 3:Red Alert. Thanks OP for the heads up.

 

[Falifax]

Steam doesn't give free games.

But what about Alien Swarm?

Spoiler

Totally forgot that this game exists.

 

[AB12]

nvm

Was this your second attempt?

That won't work for me. Tried on another computer/incognito browsing mode.

 

[Derrick01]

Steam doesn't give free games.

Steam's not desperate either.

Then again I got a few free games in the winter sale they did with presents/coal involved.

 

[Ifrit]

Steam doesn't give free games.

Yes it does, actually the reason I signed up for my steam account, was because they were offering Portal for free, and that didn't prevent me from getting it because of my region

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Was this your second attempt?

I've done it four times now. Twice in the client last night, once through the client today, one on their site today. Now it says the code is invalid on either the client or the site.

EDIT: Logged out of their site, cleared my cookies and tried again. It worked, until the end at which point I got:

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

So we'll see. I feel like I'm on dangerous territory now that I have to do extra steps.

 

[Grinchy]

Probably been covered a bunch of times already, but I just used internet explorer and was able to grab another single game with the code. I used IE to get DA2. Talk about feeling dirty.

 

[Silex]

I managed to get one more copy of a free game by logging out (I used the code before logging and it was accepted later when I logged into the account). Worth trying.

 

[Grief.exe]

I just slipped in and got shift 2 and battlefield 2 this morning on two desperate orders.
When I tried to do battlefield 2, it said that this order was not available when I got to the end of the checkout. I clicked submit again and it went through.

This is on top of medal of honor, need for speed, and DA:O last night.

Good haul. Probably won't play most, if any, of these games. Cant say no to free.

 

[PaulLFC]

Steam doesn't give free games.

Yes it does, Portal was free.

 

[Ducarmel]

I only could get hot pursuit

tried to get more but now I get invalid promo

 

[DTKT]

Hell yez.

Saboteur is mine. What a clusterfuck.

 

[Ran rp]

I've done it four times now. Twice in the client last night, once through the client today, one on their site today. Now it says the code is invalid on either the client or the site.

Oooh snap.

Also, are Criterion magicians? Burnout Paradise is running amazingly well on my crappy laptop and I've got both Origin and Chrome running in the background.

 

[TheContact]

Was this your second attempt?

Yeah. My first attempt at home this morning I grabbed Shift 2. Now then at work grabbed ME2. Now it's saying Invalid code when I try to use it.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Steam doesn't give free games.

Alien Swarm, Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, Portal. Any of which is better than any of the games EA is offering for free.

 

[Crayons]

Heads up for you guys: I used TOR and I was able to grab a second game for free.

Edit: Nvm, payment failed.

 

[Codeblue]

It's hilarious that, 12 hours later, this is still exploitable in some form.

Can't believe they're not deactivating these games.

 

[GuessWho]

yeah i got shift 2, but it seems that you can only get one game.

 

[Takamura-San]

what promo code are you guys using?

 

[Santiako]

I'm late for free games? What a shame

 

[Dead Prince]

i just got hot pursuit and saboteur.

 

[foobarry81]

Just got this notification on checkout: "We’re sorry, but the offer that was previously applied to SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED™, SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED™ PC DLC Pack is no longer available. Please check your cart before completing your purchase."

Edit: ...after having used the coupon for the fifth or so time on the same account.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

what promo code are you guys using?

OS3874XVC

Can't believe they're not deactivating these games.

Think it'll be a bitch to deactivate since you get emailed the CD key and can run the games outside of Origin. They would have to tell their authenticating servers the keys are invalid, which I know nothing about, but assume would be a bitch for this many games.
