Support NeoGAF

[Jotamide]

thanks for that link!

chilean here too btw

Chilean 2 reporting in.

Even after last night's haul I still managed to get an extra game this morning. Thank you based Wario for the tip.

 

[Lulubop]

Sims 3 still not working with it?

 

[GraveRobberX]

Wow, you can't give people anything without them abusing it. 40 games?

Why not?

It's all digital release of Old Ass games

Hell I bet EA is fucking ecstatic that they got this huge surge in EA accounts created/marketing

They will show investors/publishers, see our service works
Damage is already done, control and the right spin is the play at hand... Bam!, win-win for all

Also once an Old Noble GAF Man said "This is Why we can't have nice things!"

 

[MormaPope]

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.

You're delusional if you think people on gaf would go balls out like they did with EA. Origin really is a bad attempt at a marketplace, look at the RPG section and the other sections. And I'm being antagonistic in good humor, like anyone at EA would give a shit what I'm saying.

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

This too, there's more at stake with my steam account than my origin account, I made a origin account last night just to get the free games.

 

[smurfx]

lol just tried it again with spore just for fun and it went through.

While they are old games, we all buy the shit out of older games every Steam sale, and Origin has had some big sales. So, there have still been some lost sales here. We'll see whether those lost sales are worth the good will from existing customers and the number of new customers to EA.

Yep. And I would be much more confident that Valve would just take them away any way.

 

[smurfx]

wonder if i could keep going if i just created new accounts.

Steam prices them reasonably, EA doesn't

I highly doubt someone was contemplating and mulling over buying say Mass Effect 2 on Origin, due to all the savings

Shit happens on rare but constant basis gaming wise, you should see websites dedicated wholly to companies fucking up

The fuck-ton of points GAF accumulated from XBL giveaways, remember Costanza
The PSN giveaways of codes DLC/Cross marketing, guilty as charged, gave out like 200+ KZ3 codes, by refreshing website and giving GAF freebees
Best Buy Buy 2 Get 1 Free, glitch in system, gave you B2G2 free (again, some abused the ever living shit out of this)

Create notepad/word document, keep all accounts info in there lol

 

[Necronomikon]

Thanks Wario64 and PhaZZe!

I'm not from the US and was able to get NFS:HP for free! I hope they don't retaliate banning accounts because of their own promotion!

Anyway... COOL!

 

[Lyonaz]

Yeah could only get Dead Space 2 for my account.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

I hate the store, every time I get redirected to Spain, I am from Costa Rica, why I have to be charged on Euros?.

The Target buy 1 get 1 free glitch and people figuring out how to manipulate Target's coupon printer to give $100 off a PS3 were also some classics.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Yeah could only get Dead Space 2 for my account.

Try from the client, try from their website. I was able to get in two this way this morning (my third and fourth order).

How about PS+ 1 year cards for $14 lol

Some are subbed till like 2015+ >.>;

 

[EdibleExplosives]

So...this hasn't expired yet, right?

 

[RooMHM]

What do I put if I'm not in the US as customer information? Must it be true? or can/must I fake it?

I suggest getting an address from Borderlinx.

 

[Polishin8r]

yes, they took the code down

 

[RazorbackDB]

i got 4 games using tunnelbear, this link http://store.origin.com/?ipr=ty and different browsers and i don't feel bad at all, actually i feel good yay!

Eh...of the 4 games I managed to get (Burnout Paradise, NFS: Hot Pursuit, Bulletstorm and Mirror's Edge) the only one I'd have ever considered realistically buying would be Mirror's Edge. The others were games that have looked somewhat interesting but I'd never have bought. So if I end up liking Burnout or NFS, then maybe I'll be more likely to buy the next Burnout or NFS new. I did try the Bulletstorm demo and I didn't like it so maybe the full game will change my mind.

But I wouldn't consider most of these a lost sale. If anything it might get me more willing to be ok with Origin since the client has held up ok for me in all of this.

Although, EA really needs a better way to search and sort through their games on Origin. Its dreadful.

 

[GundamBanshee]

Just tried it on Spore as well and it worked. xD

Buy a game using that link, remove the cookies, buy another one.

I wouldn't consider "most" lost sales either. But, if they were on sale for like $5 bucks, I would have picked up a couple of them. I'm confident at this point we're all keeping our games and everything. Just pointing out that just because they're old, doesn't mean people wouldn't buy them for the right price (and they have had good sales before). EA just needs a better store and some daily deals like Steam. But, they don't want to devalue their properties so... free games for everyone!

 

[Crayons]

Just got emails for games I ordered earlier.

Burnout™ Paradise The Ultimate Box
SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED™

 

[Lyonaz]

Try from the client, try from their website. I was able to get in two this way this morning (my third and fourth order).

Just got my Bulletstorm confirmation email. I tried that one first and got the notify by email message, I then tried Dead Space 2 and got that game instantly. Bulletstorm took like an hour I think.

2 free games not bad.

 

[Mavromatis]

Just got emails for games I ordered earlier.

Burnout™ Paradise The Ultimate Box
SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED™

Well, shift just got real.
I received Crysis Warhead immediately but still waiting for the others.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Just got emails for games I ordered earlier.

Burnout™ Paradise The Ultimate Box
SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED™

Yeah got mine also. Took like two hours for my last order. The first three showed up instantly.

Feels good.

 

[tEhLoNeR]

I got a good 19 games with this thing... All worth around 345$ without the code

Should I feel bad?

 

[GraveRobberX]

EA closed from Friday Night till like Monday Morning or some shit?

Fucking Hilarious!

 

[Canis lupus]

Does this work for Europe?

How did you do this?

 

[Mavromatis]

How did you do this?

I'm using it from Turkey.

 

[chaosblade]

20 dollar off code isn't working for me.

Doesn't work on some games. Like Kingdoms of Alamur.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

EA closed from Friday Night till like Monday Morning or some shit?

Fucking Hilarious!

Monday morning:

"Alright, let's see how much of a boost in sales we got from those coupons we sent out on Friday..."

 

[Zeliard]

How did you guys do it with more than one game? Proxy?

 

[Saty]

Got Hot Pursuit. Was trying to get another game and i was seemingly able to go through the process but i got this message:

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

?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

How did you guys do it with more than one game? Proxy?

Last night you were able to add as many games as you wanted to a single order and it would work. Today it seems like you can only do one game per order, but at least as of this morning, you were able to do one in the client and one on their website. Some people were also having success using different internet browsers or deleting your cookies and logging into the site again.

Bunch of us got this. Servers are just getting hammered. You'll get the email eventually. Mine took a couple hours, others took 8 hours.

 

[Codeblue]

Haha, I can check out a fourth time using an incognito window and http://store.origin.com/?ipr=ty.

Mindblowing.

 

[Mavromatis]

How did you guys do it with more than one game? Proxy?

Try this one.

Buy a game using that link, remove the cookies, buy another one.

 

[s7evn]

how does this still work? seriously?

 

[Jarmel]

Anyone recommend a racing game?

 

[Canis lupus]

I'm using it from Turkey.

What do you use as addres info?

 

[Mavromatis]

What do you use as addres info?

I got an address from Borderlinx. It's free and also works with Amazon DD.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Anyone recommend a racing game?

Burnout Paradise is just about my favorite racing game ever, if you're into arcade style and not sims.

 

[RazorbackDB]

Buy a game using that link, remove the cookies, buy another one.

it worked, now i'am starting to feel bad but that won't stop me

 

[Saty]

Yeah but Hot Pursuit was added to my Origin client right away. Will the second game be added later on?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Yeah but Hot Pursuit was added to my Origin client right away. Will the second game be added later on?

Yeah, once you get the email. You'll either have to close the client or click the refresh button, but games don't show up until you get the email 'cause that means the order is complete and processed.

 

[CatPee]

Guys, the code only works on games whose normal non-sale price is 19.99 or lower.

 

[tEhLoNeR]

Does this work for Europe?



How did you do this?

Well, I did this when the code was like 2-3 hours old, and then someone told me that it worked for multiple games and I tried a lot of them before checking out

 

[GundamBanshee]

it worked, now i'am starting to feel bad but that won't stop me
