These downloads speeds are ridiculous. Over an hour ago I was getting almost 600kb/s and now I'm getting like 26kb/s. Stuck at 93%. :/

 

[Mechazawa]

I bet you if you run through this thread since it's inception, 75% of the pages will have someone making a definitive declaration that the deal is dead.

Can you blame them? They've gone from almost no traffic per day to serving up thousands of multi-gigabyte downloads in one day.

 

[Derrick01]

I'm thinking of getting sims 2 and the expansions but it'll take like 3 hours to get them all

 

[piratepwnsninja]

I can't even get it to work on a $40 item. staph u guize

 

[Dacon]

how are you people still getting the code to work?

It's not working for me at all jeez

 

[Ferga]

Well I got bullet storm, crysis and mirror's edge. Couldn't get sim city in time but oh well.

It was a good run guys.

 

[No_Style]

Do folks really think adding servers is as easy as the flick of a light switch or something? Like IT people can just activate servers for Origin and then turn them off as soon as this temporary spike in traffic goes away?

Geez.

You're welcome.

I just read about this new method.

- Don't login. Add the game and use the discount.
- Remove the game from the checkout.
- Login.
- Search the game again. Price should be zero.
- Buy the game.

Can't confirm if it works.

Its slow as hell doing it one game at a time but its been working for me

 

[alr1ght]

I will continue doing this as I really don't give a fuck if I get banned from Origin.

Geez.

They should go to Radioshack and buy more servers then

Are you logged out when applying it? Where are you located? If you're outside the US, use this link to access the store: http://store.origin.com/?ipr=ty

In your account settings, change your location to the United States and clear your cookies. If it's still not working, I have no clue.

*I assumed you were trying the latest method.

*Also, we have killed their servers.

 

[Snuggles]

Just so you know, you'll also lose contact with all of your Origin friends. Be sure to get their details just in case.

 

[MoonLightWave]

Origin site, so slow, so slow.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Origin's website is breaking on me!

 

[LiK]

code is invalid for me just after one purchase. boo

 

[mr stroke]

Sucks I can't use this for BF3 prem


I guess Ill roll with Crysis Warhead

 

[LordCanti]

Just so you know, you'll also lose contact with all of your Origin friends. Be sure to get their details just in case.

Considering that I added like a hundred people for Battlefield 3, I probably should have thought of this.

Oh well. I can always add them back for Battlefield 4.

 

[Derrick01]

Origin site, so slow, so slow.

It seems to get slower every time I try to get something else lol.

posted a reply to this earlier.

Code doesn't work signed in or not

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Should Arkham Asylum be working? I'll try a NFS game I guess.

 

[Wario64]

I have like 3 friends on Origin. That's more friends than I have in real life

 

[LordCanti]

What Need For Speed game is the one where you're driving down the road away from the popo?

 

[MoonLightWave]

Such a sad story, brings tears to my eyes

 

[Nimajneb]

Wow, this is really still going? Maybe I should add some more games I'll never play to my account.

 

[XeroSauce]

This is still working? I assumed it'd be down by last night.

It just worked for me without logging out last 2 times, which I did by accident because I forgot to logout. Just noticed it. :lol

 

[Snuggles]

Hot Pursuit. Or Most Wanted. I think they're both basically the same game.

 

[Scrabble]

I still cant believe this is happening. I'm just downloading games which i'll have no time to play, but fuck it, it's free.

 

[iNvid02]

its so slow, fucking ea, why cant they download more servers or something

 

[Wario64]

Hot Pursuit

 

[Dacvak]

I'd like to browse through their games to see if there's anything I want, but the site is just too slow to use. Even for a free game.

 

[RionaaM]

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

Yes, I did that already. It's a shame I'll miss on some DLC though, but for that price I can't complain

This here still works, but site is super slow atm.

Thank you.

I'm trying Arkham City right now. I'll report back if it works. Origin has really slowed down, so it may be a while.

Edit: Doesn't work. EA games only I guess.

 

[Pikma]

Servers are dead, tried to get Sims 3 through Slickdeals but the price ibkt went to $9.99, tried again with another game, but the servers are DEAD.

Nothing is dead, it's just slow

 

[Baron_Calamity]

hmm.. I was stocking another cart and now everything is much cheaper. Like the $20 games are now $8. Odd.

 

[MoonLightWave]

Very slow indeed.

 

[Ferga]

Steam sales all over again

 

[Pikma]

I meant deadly slow, I know they're not dead.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Are there certain games that the code works for? I've got one game to discount and another stayed the same.

 

[Cuban Legend]

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

While logged out of Origin 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.

 

[Necromanti]

Did this three times yesterday and then I couldn't get it working anymore, so now I'm going to try the new method and see how that goes. I will surely get the karkland.

 

[LordCanti]

EA games only, I think.

 

[kirblar]

There's a sale going on as well- a lot of games over $19.99 can be picked up using the slickdeals link for a big discount.

 

[alazz]

I was just thinking this earlier; had it not been applied to everything last night I wouldn't have bothered.

I have like 3 friends on Origin. That's more friends than I have in real life

Poor thing

Spoiler

me too
