Hopefully they dont start banning origin accounts left and right

I purchased BF3 on Origin (and only regrettably). If they ban my account for using a coupon that worked, I will never spend another dime on Origin.

 

[LordCanti]

I've found a way to get it working for those of you getting invalid codes.

While logged out Origin out go here: http://slickdeals.net/?sdtid=531609...OfferID=29945460209?sourceid=Origin_AFF_LS715
Add the game you want to the cart.
Apply the code.
Then delete the game from the cart.
Back on the slickdeals page if you sort by price you should see this:

In a new tab sign into Origin.
Then back on the other tab add the game to the cart.
And now you'll be able to purchase it for free on your account without having to input the code.

Holy shit, this does work.

Origin was coded by monkeys.

 

[RionaaM]

You know, if EA lets us keep these games, I may start using Origin, and maybe even buying from there, as a way of saying thanks.

 

[Derrick01]

Yeah, I never actually checked out with the second game but I logged in and the price was $0.

Yes, it works every time.

*I find it strange that my first order yesterday took 7 hours or so (for the email) to come through, but now that the site is really getting hammered, it is instantaneous. What?!? lol.

Awesome. I'm trying to find more games that I might want to try but with the site going so damn slow it makes loading new pages a chore.

 

[Ferga]

It'll be amazing if we get to keep these games

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Man, was going to use this to get my wife the Sims 3 Showtime expansion, but the coupon code won't work at all.

 

[Dacon]

code isn't working for me at all, signed in or no

 

[Orca]

What are the must have games to grab?

 

[elfinke]

This is great. "Mr asdf reasfgdf" of Alaska has been having a field day.

 

[KyleN]

All eu ppl; go to your profile at ea.com and change country to USA. 100% working.

 

[Psychoward]

Bah, loaded up on like 10 games and now the pages are taking forever to respond.

 

[Rezae]

So is some IT guy gonna get fired or a marketer promoted over this...

 

[Psychoward]

and I fucked it up

 

[Snuggles]

This is probably the most attention Origin has received since it's inception. EA will take what they can get.

 

[Cramoss]

Is this still working?

I said goddamn!

 

[MoonLightWave]

This is probably the most attention Origin has received since it's inception. EA will take what they can get.

Hopefully they will take away all the games, Can't wait to see people reaction,

 

[GKB]

The site is completely inaccessible from my place now.

 

[Bullza2o]

Wait so are people not using their real name and address?

 

[Derrick01]

It'll be the end of Origin.

 

[Madrugador]

Worst company of America, second year in a row.

 

[BolognaSoup]

It's now requiring payment information when checking out. Effectively makes this dead from what I can tell. It didn't do that when I got Crysis.

Nope, Just got 3 more games with the new trick

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Guize pls, you are killing the Origin servers..

just got 2 games..

Devaluing games is fun.

 

[Derrick01]

So can you put multiple games on 1 order still as long as it adds up to $20?

edit: Using the new method I mean.

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

The new method is working for me after the normal method stopped working. Gotta do it one at a time.

Yup, one at a time but the new method is totally working for me.

 

[Psychoward]

Does Fifa 11 have native controller support and/or local multiplayer?

 

[Cramoss]

Hopefully they will take away all the games, Can't wait to see people reaction,

They literally can't do that* for some of these games. Sure, they can lock you out of multiplayer, but how many of these games had thriving multiplayer communities anyway?

*if you block the executables in your firewall

 

[Chakan]

Holy shit, this does work.

Origin was coded by monkeys.

lol indeed it works.

I'm shocked.

They'll probably shut Origin down, if they're smart.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Incredible. Incredible.

 

[Codeblue]

So can you put multiple games on 1 order still as long as it adds up to $20?

I think it has to be one at a time since the code only applies to a single item.

 

[Orca]

Well now they just might...

 

[iNvid02]

everyone should buy steal hot pursuit if they havent already, best racer this gen

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

Is there any easy way to search for games by price? If this whole thing has taught me anything, its that Origin's basic search and sorting functions kind of suck.

 

[alazz]

The new method netted me Burnout Paradise. Woohoo! Not that I'l actually play it anytime soon...

Wait so are people not using their real name and address?

Fuck me. Why am I using my real name and address.

 

[Croc]

Kind of is a major understatement.

 

[Diebuster]

Quick question: are you guys putting in legit info for customer information, or does it not matter?

edit: already asked above, d'oh

 

[Darknight]

Is the code dead? Is the slickdeal deal alive but $20 off dead? Wish people were specific so I dont have to deal with this slow shite site.

 

[alazz]

The code is still live

 

[KillerAJD]

You can click the price column at the top to sort by price, and that should help a little bit, but there is no way to sort a specific range.

 

[nhlducks35]

Fuck me. Why am I using my real name and address.

I'm using mine too; shouldn't matter though, right?

 

[Bullza2o]

Fuck me. Why am I using my real name and address.

Crap now I'm thinking the same after 5 transactions. I only used Origin during BF3 beta and thought maybe I put my address when signing up for my account.

I'm using mine too; shouldn't matter though, right?

I guess so. Maybe they'll spam us with weekly Origin mail as payback.

 

[Quicksilver4648]

I was all excited to go and use this code (I have been away from home all day) but then when I entered in the store I was very unexcited with the selection. The only games I care about I already own either on Xbox or Steam. Good news for anyone who gets something but I think I am just going to pass. Yeah, getting free stuff is always great but dealing with that website simply isn't worth it.

 

[Psychoward]

Going to bed, hopefully this is still live so I can get the ones I kind of want.

 

[RionaaM]

Is the code dead? Is the slickdeal deal alive but $20 off dead? Wish people were specific so I dont have to deal with this slow shite site.

I couldn't manage to make both the Slickdeal and the voucher stack, so I'm only using the latter. That means no Battlefield 3, no NFS: The Run, no Dragon Age Origins Deluxe.

 

[LordCanti]

I'm using mine too; shouldn't matter though, right?

The worst they can do is ban you. From Origin.

The best punishment that exists.

 

[Trigger]

Fuck me. Why am I using my real name and address.

I was already using Origin so most of my information was already there. I imagine if there's a repercussion then it's going to be just cutting off the code.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Gettting this weird page "No Response from Application Web Server

There was no response from the application web server for the page you requested.
Please notify the site's webmaster and try your request again later."

These must be the kinds of things EA is trying to test with this promotion. "Are people willing to use our site if the games are free? Nope! Some actually aren't!"

For the last one you can just get the base game then Awakening separately.
