lol it worked, just got Shift 2 besides Hot Pursuit.

 

[Codeblue]

Does the multiple browser trick still work? I tried Opera but failed.

I've just been using Chrome's incognito window. Got two more check outs today for a total of 5.

 

[alazz]

Has anyone gotten it to work on Sims 3 stuff today? I saw some earlier posts from when the deal was first posted, but it won't work for me.

I got the premium towns Barnacle bay and Hidden Springs and all the stuff packs but Diesel and Katy Perry. This was when the deal was first posted, so maybe they changed the eligibility of Sims 3.

The coupon will knock $20 off Sims 3 expansions but it won't make them free because they exceed $20. I think the standard Sims 3 is $20, not sure though.

 

[RazorbackDB]

Looks like i'm going to have to miss out on this because i'm not in the US. I would of liked simcity 4, i guess i'll just have to buy it.

use this link http://store.origin.com/?ipr=ty

 

[ShaneB]

Store webpage doesn't even want to load for me now

 

[Fantasmo]

Worked for one but invalid promo code after that. Tried several browsers, no dice.

Works outside of the US using this link.

 

[Madrugador]

Really wonder what EA will do about this.

 

[Link Man]

If Costanza were lurking, he'd be proud.

 

[Metalmurphy]

"Payment Authorization Failed"


lol, what payment?

 

[Mavromatis]

Really wonder what EA will do about this.

I think they'll remove them from our accounts.

 

[Enco]

:lol

It's still working for me. I'm getting:

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

First you clear the cookies of origin and ea.
Second you go to http://store.origin.com/?ipr=ty
Third you pick a game under 19.99$ and add it to your basket. (Must be an EA game and for PC Digital)
You apply the code and see that the cost is 0.00$ http://snag.gy/a2Ren.jpg[/IM G]
Proceed with checkout, and login when it asks you to login.[/QUOTE]
I feel dirty.

What a fuck up by EA.

 

[Codeblue]

If Costanza were lurking, he'd be proud.

He'd probably say something along the lines of "Only 20?"

This is the guy that bragged about giving a penny to the Humble Bundle we're talking about.

 

[Pikma]

Now it asks me for my credit card No., I ain't giving you that, EA!

 

[RooMHM]

I can't get DA:O for free, it always asks me for money even when payment is 0.00 after redeeming code

 

[qazqaNii]

3 Accounts - 3 Different games...

Atleast there is no confirmation mails when signing up.

 

[Kerub]

What do I need to do to use this in europe?

I made an american account but OS3874XVC won't work.

Ok, I figured this out. If any european still has problems with this do this;

Create an american account

Go to - http://store.origin.com/store?Actio...=en_US&SiteID=ea&categoryID=8831900&pc-games=

Pick a game below 20 dollars

When asked for billing adress I used 943 W. Hwy 50, city PUEBLO, zipcode 81008, state colorado.

And then mercenaries 2 was mine!

 

[Fitz]

Got 1 game but just keeps giving me the "Invalid Code" message now when I try to apply the coupon.

 

[Canis lupus]

I've just been using Chrome's incognito window. Got two more check outs today for a total of 5.

Do you use a different email adres/origin account? Because if I try that it asks for cc/paypal/clickandbuy

 

[Codeblue]

No, same account. It stopped working after two though.

 

[Xyber]

Got 1 game but just keeps giving me the "Invalid Code" message now when I try to apply the coupon.

Sign out and add the code, then proceed to the next step and sign in.

 

[MormaPope]

This is history in the making, easily. I've never seen an exploit like this go on for so long, last night everyone was expecting the shit to hit the fan and for there to be consequences, now the hole is so fucking deep what could EA even do?

This feels like one of the strangest things to happen in gaming in the 21st century, hours and hours of people doing something as simple as copy pasting a code and then going to a new browser to continue, getting games with almost no effort or malicious skills. This is up there with the console failures as far as incompetency goes, EA has a huge problem up ahead.

This is supposed to be an American only (anti consumer and dumb move btw) and other people are helping each other get more games, I find that to be beautiful quite honestly. I'm glad we all are getting these games and I'm grateful as fuck I got mine but this is damn weird.

 

[Crayons]

I keep getting Payment Authorization Failed.

I ain't even using a proxy.

 

[Canis lupus]

I'm creating new Origin accounts to get more games.

 

[Link Man]

Well, I guess I can't complain. Just got Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 to go through.

I'll stop at 2 though.

 

[Jarmel]

Incognito window works everybody.

Everybody gets free games.

 

[Mavromatis]

I keep getting Payment Authorization Failed.

I ain't even using a proxy.

And it is giving me "Technical Difficulties" line. Maybe there is someone working at Origin trying to fix this.

Haha totally agreed.

This is fucking ridiculous. Thousands and thousands of $ worth of games. Lost sales? Probably not. It's still a complete mess up though.

Pretty crazy. Next few days should be interesting.

I can imagine the EA execs going into the office on monday morning.

"He Steve, how were our downloads and purchases over the weekend?"
"Great! I don't know what happened"
"Brilliant news Steve! How much did we make?"
"Oh.. err.. $0"

 

[TheVoidDragon]

Sign out and add the code, then proceed to the next step and sign in.

It then asks for credit card details.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

My goodness man... My GOODNESS!!

Eh, it's all oldish games tho; EA probably doesn't give that much of a shit.

 

[Enco]

It then asks for credit card details.

Sign in using the sign in box at the top of the page.

 

[Canis lupus]

Incognito window works everybody.

Everybody gets free games.

Doesn't work. I only got 2 games with 1 account.

 

[Fitz]

Sign out and add the code, then proceed to the next step and sign in.

After signing in it seems to realise that I've already used the code and the price changes back, meaning it wants CC details.

 

[Jarmel]

Doesn't work. I only got 2 games with 1 account.

I just got another two free games using incognito. Now with the third, it's asking for CC info.

 

[TheVoidDragon]

Sign in using the sign in box at the top of the page.

Awesome, that works. Not sure what to get through. There isn't much the code works with that i'd like.

 

[Pikma]

Incognito/cookie deleting works for me, I pick the game and the code applies, the subtotal goes to $0.0, but when I log in on the checkout it keeps asking me for a CC.

 

[qazqaNii]

I think its dead now folks, doesn't even say invalid or anything just reloads the page.

 

[Jarmel]

I think its dead now folks, doesn't even say invalid or anything just reloads the page.

Yep.

 

[jono51]

Okay, well I just went and "reclaimed" my Crysis copy that got munched up by that EA activator thing and never gave me the game in my account. 3 aint too bad.

 

[MormaPope]

Eh, it's all oldish games tho; EA probably doesn't give that much of a shit.

While that's true people are still walking away with hundreds of dollars of games, not lost sales, but there has to be repercussions on EA's side. Hundreds or thousands of cd keys/serials given away like air.

How is EA going to explain this to shareholders or investors? Keep in mind I'm glad everyone got out with as much swag as they want, but this ignoring attitude EA has is fascinating to say the least.

 

[Mavromatis]

I think its dead now folks, doesn't even say invalid or anything just reloads the page.

Now it says

PMT_000011 : ea, en_US, There is money to authorize, But no Aurthorize delegated were applicable,

Their shareholders won't care because this is incredibly insignificant.

 

[Zeliard]

I've maxed out at 3 games

 

[TrounceX]

Lol just got DAII because I forgot about it last night. Got my first round of games about 12 hours ago now.

But my first try I got this error message:

We’re sorry, but the offer that was previously applied to Dragon Age™ II - Online Pass, Dragon Age™ II is no longer available. Please check your cart before completing your purchase.

Not to be deterred I simply refreshed the page and submitted again....and it worked. Unbelievable.
