And now we wait to hear what EA has to say. Surely they'll say something about all this.
You should be much more disappointed than you are. DA:O is a vastly superior game. They both go super cheap all the time though, so you'll be able to pick up dao for not much if you wait till the next big sale.
Then grab Darkspore, since you don't actually need Origin to download and play it.

do they email you a code or the games just show up in the origin client?
Just showed up for me.

Ok... so I was able to get two games totaling less than $20, but I had to check them out separately. Got C&C4 and Dead Space (since I have no idea where my 360 disc is). Would have liked to get the original ME too, but no dice.
You're right! Crysis Warhead which I ordered 8 hours ago has been okayed and I got the email.
My games were in the My Games section of the client almost immediately after the purchase went through.

So is it officially impossible to get multiple games with the code now?
Nice.
Did you actually manage to get it sorted through Origin support?
I've contacted many different sites(EA, Ubisoft store etc) about the issue and I've never managed to get myself unflagged.
"We finally got people to install Origin!"

been going fine using multiple browsers. Got Crysis with IE, Dragon Age with Chrome and Battle Field 2 with Firefox
Can't get this to work. If a kind person wants to create an account for me and add Dead Space to it I'd totally love you
What's it to you ? How someone can complain about free games is beyond me.
Anyway, is there a way to do this in Europe ?
it was an excuse by ea for not having sales like steam.

That's what it looks like for me too. I got Dragon Age II, Shift 2, and FIFA 12. Thanks, EA!
Are you able to get a fourth? Because I've tried getting Dead Space on multiple computers and it's not working. I think the code is either dead or it maxes out at 3 uses.

I finally own Mirror's Edge.
Yup, my Crysis Warhead just showed up as well.
And shame on you for not paying for it earlier. Great game.

I only want one game but neither ME3 nor TWD ( I guess cause it's not EA) work in the Android browser. have none of these games worked or should I try another browser?

I tried on another computer just now and on my fourth use of the coupon it asks me to put in a Credit Card.
No way that's happening, so it was good while it lasted.
My download just finished. I had played it on the 360 when it came out and thought it looked fantastic, but it looks so much better on the PC. I should have bought it a long time ago.

Fuck it doesn't work in IE either. I think I'm boned
Gaf will hate me for this but I hope they ban everyones origin account that did it for more than one game and lock them out of all of their games.
NOT because it would be justified it certainly wouldn't and would be AWFUL don't get me wrong.
Still the GIGANTIC shit storm would be hilarious for weeks or months and I would enjoy it more than any EA game in the last few years.

No one should really worry about EA taking back the games if you install them, and like a good gentlemen said before me, you can have it so the installer is saved with the main game folder. There's also the serial codes and if someone really wanted to they could download a exe and still have access to single player content.
It's either a nonexistent race or a race of installing the game before they pull it off the client list, and I don't even know if they can do that.

Word of advice, there's a Origin setting where it copies the shift tab function of steam to get a overlay, turn that shit off immediately! It made my Mirrors Edge have a framerate of 5-10 FPS, turning it off makes the game run properly.

oh man, I forgot my mom's Pogo account is the same EA account as the Origin account I used.
Well, that'll be kind of a crappy day if they ban my account, explaining to her about how her almost decade old Pogo account is gone

You don't have to have Origin running at all to play your games (other than "Origin-works" ones like BF3).

I saw you post something similar earlier and I couldn't figure out how to activate the key in the demo.
I even used the thing on the site and it said error'd. Do I need to run the Origin version first?
I know that, but keeping the overlay option on "on" if you do run games on Origin can make a game unplayable, which is sorta hilarious and downright pathetic.

It worked for me twice with IE. But not at the first attempt...just bought Bulletstorm, it said that the offer/voucher I applied wasn't active anymore, I hit submit order again and it passed. I even got a serial number right away.
Edit: But for the Dragon Age order I haven't received anything yet.

Ok, tried using other browsers and it worked, so got Mass Effect, and RA3: Uprising too.
