I got 3 games before it quit letting me. If they take them back, oh well, might be even more fun reading the comments about it than actually playing the games I got.

Grabbed Dead Space and Mass Effect. Code isn't working anymore.
Nope, they can't.
He's talking about a different experience.

This doesn't work for the Arkham games I'm assuming
Nope. EA wants people to take from them and only them alone this time.
Yep, and if they try, the joke's on them, because the card that I used to have on my account doesn't exist anymore. Shadybiz has won the day!
Ah ok.
This wasn't all part of the plan though was it? People are getting a lot more than $20 worth. I look forward to the official reply.

So just EA games it is. Yeah I'll stick with just Hot Pursuit in that case.

Does it work on Sims 3?
It's either that or Dead Space 2, but I'd prefer to have that on 360...
NVM: It's $30 on pc.

Mercs 2 is reminding me of what PC ports used to be like. I assume they started from the PS2 version.

Got Dragon Age 2, C&C 4, Spore and The Saboteur.
Saboteur is a great game with some nice art direction.

Bulletstorm keeps telling me there is a GFW Live update and to shut down. There is no option to shut down, and if I push anything it just tells me to log into my Live account, which is can't 'cause it needs to install the update. Fucking Game for Windows.

You aren't going to be banned for exploiting a coupon. Honestly I doubt they will even remove games (the amount of fucks they care about their older <20$ games is probably about 0... especially since this coupon was going to give you a free game basically anyway).
If I get banned the biggest sting will be I can't play Most Wanted with Gaf this year, not having Origin wouldn't phase me in the bit. EA should reflect and question why people are willing to do this, if this situation happened with Valve only a small fraction of people would try to get free games.
Yup. If anything it shows how broken Origin really is, magic promo codes that grant you whole free games constantly is something out of Willy Wonka.

How is everybody getting more than one game? multiple accounts?
It doesn't let me use the code again.

yeah lol so not in origin... that is sad
And also we all own all the $20 or less Valve games already.
Some people are using multiple accounts, but some people are getting more than one game by using different browsers or VPN. It stopped working for me after three games though.
Last night was the bomb if you wanted to get multiple games, some people left with 30 or 40 games.
Different browsers, but the limit seems to be three games today.

Yeah, no way we get banned. Small chance they remove the games, but I doubt that for reasons that have been said in this thread a billion times. The idea of paying employees to remove these games and deactivate the CD keys seems crazy. It is EA though, so you never know.

Some dude on CAG said he added ALL the sub $20 games. If he really did, a screenshot of it would be something magical.

Yeah. I just got my shipping confirmation.
Read the thread title.
No and no.

I'd rather they ban people then just take away the games, taking away the games is childs play compared to a mass banning having to do with magic promo codes and ole creaky Origin.

You could fill your cart up to as much games as you wanted
Apply code, rather than 1 game getting knocked off to $0.00, all games up to + under $19.99 got knocked to $0.00
Some did 5-7+, I personally did 10 (copied shaggy's list, sorry buddy), some went above and beyond the battlefield and grabbed 30+.... LAWL!

O___O wow I'm stupid. :/
Ya I couldn't get a 2nd game on the same account either, tried different browsers/computers but no go. Had to make a new account to get the other game I wanted.
You are delusional if you think people wouldn't have exploited this to kingdom come on steam just because they like valve. It would have been worse because more people and more games.
I also find your constant antagonism towards EA highly amusing considering the thread.
Hell, just look at what happened with the humble bundle during the winter sale.

I wouldn't try to pull anything when it comes to Steam. I actually value my Steam account.

Yes, but it's also getting hammered by the later birds who are as the say Late to the Party!
No, there usually isn't anyone on Origin.

got Fifa 12 for free without having to put my credit card information. Then, i opened a new broswer and bought Hot Pursuit, but it asked me for my CC even though the balance due was 0.00. I then decided that it's not worth the risk.
