How have they not just shut their entire store down yet?

 

[Beelzeboss]

Man it won't work for my account anymore

Dang

 

[Koroviev]

It's Friday night.

 

[KissVibes]

How have they not just shut their entire store down yet?

They probably don't even care.

 

[Levyne]

Whenever I go to log in after accepting the code, the price bumps back up. Cookies/cache cleaned. Hmm.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Home in 5 minutes. Lets see if it works.

 

[VGChampion]

What the heck? I can't get stupid GFW working with Bulletstorm. Fruuuustrating.

 

[Wario64]

Is it considered piracy if we got games without paying for them? ô¿ô

 

[Ionic]

I got Medal of Honor and Shank 2. Not bad.

 

[Sax Russel]

JUST completed an order on 5 games, all for free, and they're all already in my Origin client good to go too.

 

[whalleywhat]

What the heck? I can't get stupid GFW working with Bulletstorm. Fruuuustrating.

Has anyone gotten a single one of these games working? I'm downloading Spore right now.

 

[Croc]

Just got Mass Effect 2, Mirror's Edge, and The Saboteur

 

[Grinchy]

Hopefully the FBI goes after the uploader!

 

[ColonelColon]

Man it won't work for my account anymore

Dang

I assumed the same, but then the code suddenly worked one more time. It seems almost like it's a matter of luck. I didn't do anything differently when the code worked.

 

[lolmoose]

503

Nevermind, used the client and now it went through Finally got Simcity 4!

 

[Koroviev]

Finally getting 503'd over here.

Has anyone gotten a single one of these games working? I'm downloading Spore right now.

Question of the hour.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

503 Service Temporarily Unavailable when I try to add a game to my cart. NOOOOOOO! It kicked me off and I lost all the games I added.

 

[Spazznid]

Hopefully the FBI goes after the uploader!

 

[Neki]

oh god I wish I spent it more than on mass effect 2

 

[MoonLightWave]

So what do you guys think, will they remove the games or not?

 

[SapientWolf]

Warp didn't work, for some bizarre reason. Gatling Gears and ME2 did though.

 

[ColonelColon]

Finally getting 503'd over here.



Question of the hour.

What if this is just an elaborate troll and none of the games work?
fuuuuuuuuuu

 

[Nirolak]

How have they not just shut their entire store down yet?

People are using Origin, and none of the games that actually sell copies become free with this.

 

[XeroSauce]

503...damnit. I had a good haul though.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Has anyone gotten a single one of these games working? I'm downloading Spore right now.

With how hammered their servers are right now, I'd imagine nobody is able to get their games to authenticate. I don't think it's a sign of anything. Surely EA would stop people of using it before going after those who already have.

People are using Origin, and none of the games that actually sell copies become free with this.

But they are devaluing the Dragon Age IP!

 

[BurritoBushido]

promo code isnt working with slick deal promo, just chops 20 off of original price

edit: just checked out, totes worked.

 

[MormaPope]

FUCK!

I still haven't made an origin account yet, don't stop believing people!

 

[whalleywhat]

What if this is just an elaborate troll and none of the games work?
fuuuuuuuuuu

Good on them for fronting the bandwidth. I admire a dedicated troll.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

I got a few games. Even got Left 4 Dead 2 shipped for $2.50 on PC. Hopefully it shows up...

 

[VGChampion]

Has anyone gotten a single one of these games working? I'm downloading Spore right now.

I hope so. Seems my problem is GFW not updating which I wouldn't think has anything to do with EA.

 

[Wario64]

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.

Didn't work for me, but it's alright. I'm done with this shit

 

[cyborg009]

Didn't work for me, but it's alright. I'm done with this shit

I did it on PC then Iphone

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Lost items in my cart.

Fuck.

Ah well. Downloading Bulletstorm now...

 

[Nirolak]

But they are devaluing the Dragon Age IP!

They just gave Dragon Age away for free not that long ago.

 

[benjipwns]

With how hammered their servers are right now, I'd imagine nobody is able to get their games to authenticate.

Yeah, even downloading is slower than normal.

I've had games not authenticate before on Origin during normal times, came back like an hour later and it worked fine.

 

[Croc]

If it makes any difference to anyone I couldn't get it working in the online store at all.

Only thing that worked for me was opening the client.

 

[AlexBasch]

The store page is getting horribly hammered right now.

 

[Bruiserk]

Anyone able to get <20 games?

Also, Kingdoms of amalur through the slickdeals page? it is 16.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

So what do you guys think, will they remove the games or not?

I don't know. I can't imagine they would want to let the people who got like 20 games go. But, at the same time, you get emailed the serial numbers and you can tell Origin to keep the installation files once downloaded. So, they would have to make those serial numbers invalid to completely block people I would assume.

 

[Xyber]

I have just been trying to get some games by using a proxy (where the fuck is the love for the rest of the world EA?) and when I finally got to the last step I got "Payment Authorization Failed".

I hate you EA.

 

[Wario64]

people worried about their games being removed from origin or getting banned



wait, you guys used origin before? lol.

 

[smurfx]

Didn't work for me, but it's alright. I'm done with this shit

worked for me! just got mass effect 2, bullet storm, some bf3 expansion. i'm done though since its useless to get these games even for free since i won't play them.

 

[Deadly]

I managed to do it twice. Once in firefox then in chrome. Too bad I didn't know we could add multiple games each time though

 

[CrashPrime]

Dead Space 1&2, Dragon Age Origins & Awakening ... if they don't get deleted I'm LOL'ing

 

[fluffydelusions]

people worried about their games being removed from origin or getting banned



wait, you guys used origin before? lol.

Yeah for Bf3 and fifa

 

[benjipwns]

Anyone able to get <20 games?

Also, Kingdoms of amalur through the slickdeals page? it is 16.

I got Mercs 2 which was $9.99.

people worried about their games being removed from origin or getting banned



wait, you guys used origin before? lol.

Yeah, they never seemed to care about that free MoH: Airborne thing that worked for six months or whatever.

 

[Revenile]

Got five games
Part of me feels a bit guilty about it. But then I think that the fact they have this code work like this, either they are stupid or just wanted more people on their thing so in a few weeks they can say how successful origin is.

 

[Wario64]

I think it didn't work because I already used the code twice, heh.

 

[Grinchy]

I don't even want to DL the games yet to see if they actually do take these away.

 

[Bullza2o]

I think it didn't work because I already used the code twice, heh.

Ah I used the code twice, one game per transaction, and was asked for a CC on my third try. I should have bulk ordered, but oh well. I'm thankful for my RA3 and expansion lol.
