OH SHIT 503

 

[CrashPrime]

Lol got 2 orders to go through, but no games populating in the client. Typical EA.

 

[Grinchy]

I had a cart with 5 0.00 games, finally logged in to checkout, and it emptied my cart and said there was an error.

 

[legacyzero]

Nope, success. Mercenaries 2 sucked.

Touche!

Let's see, they've just successfully gotten a bunch of people to use their DD service by giving away ancient games no one was buying anyway.

I'll say no.

You may be on to something there. Riccatello am happy.

 

[NBtoaster]

Don't know why I thought it would work here

Not like there's much to buy for 20 anyway, Dead Space 2 is still 90 fucking dollars.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Bad Company 2, Sim City 4, Spore+creepy/cute pack, Mercenaries 2.
Pretty damn sweet.

Still won't use the service to BUY games (if I want an EA game I buy a physical copy), but anywhere I can get free games I will take the opportunity.

I believe I have a copy of Viva Pinata that I got for free from GFWL, lol.

 

[benjipwns]

Looks like it's changed to certain games are now just free?

 

[KissVibes]

I just got it to work on C&C3 + Kane's Wrath.

Couldn't get it to work on Sims 3 expansions.


KEEP TRYING GUYS

 

[LyleLanley]

I had a cart with 5 0.00 games, finally logged in to checkout, and it emptied my cart and said there was an error.

Looks like I got out just in time.

 

[kennah]

Someone will surely lose their job over this lol

I was thinking the same thing.


I was also thinking - too bad none of these games activate on Steam.

 

[Koroviev]

Lol got 2 orders to go through, but no games populating in the client. Typical EA.

Refresh the "My Games" section. Worked for me.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Twist: Wario tricked us into getting the IOS versions of all these games

 

[TheApatheticOne]

Do people actually buy games from Origin other than Mass Effect 3 and Battlefield 3? I was under the impression that everyone just abused the free game offers whenever they cropped up.

I dont use it much at all. If a GREAT deal comes up, and its only good through Origin.... Ill bite. Before this, I had Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and The Run, Kingdoms of Amalur, Burnout Paradise and Mirror's Edge.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

LOL, I used the code once and it discounted all 5 games in my cart to $0. Hmmm, gonna keep adding to my cart.

 

[sikkinixx]

Grabbed NFS Hot Pursuit, Mirror's Edge, Burnout and Saboteur. All games I have owned before on 360 so i don't feel so bad. They have gotten my money before.

 

[Wario64]

RIP Steam

RIP Gaben

 

[ColonelColon]

It doesn't work for me. The discount is applied when I'm logged out, but the price returns to 19.99 when I log in. I tried clearing the cache and deleting cookies. Weird.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

What is a pile added to another pile? A miserable pile of unplayed games.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

Hell yes!

Just grabbed Hot Pursuit.

 

[AzureSkies]

Seems like the site's now dead.

 

[benjipwns]

On a reload of the store my cart was still there with the discounts applied so I just put through the order asap.

Your Information > Review Order > Order Completed
Thank you for your purchase. You should receive a confirmation email shortly.

Sabouteur, Red Alert 3, Dragons Age, Hot Pursuit, Medal Of Honor, both Dead Spaces AND IT'S THE MERC.

 

[Bog]

Worth it just to be able to put my disc copy of Crysis 1 into Origin finally.

 

[Link0080]

503 lol

 

[Drkirby]

Do any versions of the Sims 3 work? The one game I want.

 

[cyborg009]

If you mess up your first chance of getting more games log out then add the games in then add the code. It work for me

 

[Grinchy]

It just worked for me. Five games for $0.00.

They'll probably take it away but at least I tried.

 

[KissVibes]

Do any versions of the Sims 3 work? The one game I want.

I couldn't get it to work on sims 3 expansions. Maybe you can get the base game?

 

[XeroSauce]

Do any versions of the Sims 3 work? The one game I want.

No, neither does:

ME3
NFS: The Run
Amalur

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Bahahaha just got an order confirmation from about an hour ago.

7 games now.

EDIT: Oops, 8. Forgot about one I shoved in.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Hmm... I deleted all cookies off FireFox and did Disk Clean-Up, still says invalid code

Oh well cant get greedy lol

 

[CambriaRising]

Just got invalid code. I made out with 12 games, so we will see. I was filling up a 3rd cart when it went dead for me. I had 9 more games in it as well

 

[alazz]

The Sims 3, the Stuff Packs and the two premium towns, Barnacle Bay and Hidden Springs, will reduce to $0.00.

All of The Sims 2 games will reduce!

 

[Levyne]

I can't seem to have much luck anymore. Got the Saboteur and Dragon Age Origins + Awakening

 

[Koroviev]

Just got invalid code. I made out with 12 games, so we will see. I was filling up a 3rd cart when it went dead for me. I had 9 more games in it as well

Hasn't failed on me yet. I've gone through three times. I don't even know why.

 

[SapientWolf]

Over.

 

[Owensboro]

No, neither does:

ME3
NFS: The Run
Amalur

Well, time to stop trying then. Those were the only games I really cared to try for.

 

[Makoto]

negaf pls

 

[alazz]

^lol free games I don't even want them

I've had bad luck with this second attempt but it seems to go OK now. Adding stuff takes forever...almost want to give up but damn it I'm a freeman!

 

[Grinchy]

Over.

you sure? I just got mine to go through 3-4 minutes ago.

 

[Lissar]

Can't get anything, code doesn't work.

Ah well, guess it was too much to hope. :<

 

[SapientWolf]

This is what I got:

Invalid promo code

 

[KissVibes]

negaf pls

I'm sure he feels awful about giving away free copies of old games on a service barely anyone buys games from.

 

[Link0080]

Tried on the rest of the games I kind of wanted but no go, oh well MoH free ain't bad.

 

[Lulubop]

Just got Dragon Age 2 and Hot Pursuit. I don't really care about the rest of the stuff. I tried Batman and some Sims stuff, but they didn't work with it.

DON'T BAN ME EA!

 

[XeroSauce]

gaize.

Code still works.

• Log Out
• Clear Cookies/Cache
• Open SlickDeals site, or even the Origin Client, add games
• Add Coupon AFTER adding all games
• Remove any games that coupon is incompatible with
• LOG IN NOW
• Redo information if you need to
• Check out

Just did a second check-out.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Seems like if you on making new accounts you can get free games.. but I only wanted Crysis, Sab & Bulletstorm, I didn't really want Mirror's edge though... I beat it on PS3 already.

 

[Grinchy]

So Battlfield 3 remains the only game I've bought on Origin, and I got that for $10. I really hope these free ones stick b/c I've never played Mass Effect before.

 

[KissVibes]

EA wont ban anyone. If they did, they'd be banning everyone that used this service and would kill what little good-will the service had left.

 

[MoonLightWave]

Coupon US only?

 

[human onion]

Jesus Christ EA, what have you wrought!

Probably wont stay, but this is too much fun anyway.
