Origin is having a -20$ promo code (allows you to get 1 game for free)

[BernardoOne]

Just use the following code:OS3874XVC

Available to all 19.99 purchases or more. So you can get 1 of the 19.99 games for free.


Only available to USA and only usable on EA published games.

 

[Kopikatsu]

Well, already have Origin on my computer. May as well.

Many thanks!

I think I'll pass. The only thing they are offering I'm remotely interested in is not worth the money to me. I like the Walking Dead game, but I am not paying money for a glorified motion comic.

Thanks man, unlike most people, I'm not really adverse to Origin and use it alongside steam. I'm searching for a game to get now, however, there servers are a bit slow at the moment :/

 

[Da Orky Man]

Why only in the US? I thought we were finally starting to get over this.

 

[Lawlhat]

Thanks man, I finally got Burnout Paradise!

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

Welp, using this I decided to pick up both The Saboteur and NFS: Hot Pursuit for free (it's possible to get two games for free with this code if you snag one of them through the Origin program itself and another through an internet browser). Nothing else really interested me, so hopefully The Saboteur surprises me compared to what a lot of people said and NFS: HP works decently despite it being, from what I heard, a rather shoddy PC port.

So yeah, thanks for this. ^-^

hmm definitely gonna have to check this out.

thanks for sharing!

wonder if i can get TOR with this to get all those benefits before it goes F2P

 

[Stainlesssteele4]

Only works on exactly 20 dollar games, and it wouldn't let me get any of the good C&Cs or the first Witcher...
I did get Red Alert 3, so I guess I can't complain.

Terms state you can't get SWTOR. I already have it, but I don't see why they would restrict it.

ah figures. scumbag EA

oh well, will try to find something else I suppose.

edit:

Trying to navigate the origin store is horrendous, for how much they want to beat steam, they sure do a horrible way of making it user friendly.

 

[YeOldeMoose]

Thanks a lot for sharing this information with us! I must agree that the navigation in Origin is pretty atrocious. I first tried to search for the original "The Sims 3", but all I found on the first page were expansions. Page 2? Battlefield 3. Very odd choice.

Still, I will be trying out The Sabatuer finally. I wish I would have seen the comment about Red Alert 3 before I picked Sabateur though.

 

[eternal-chaplain]

EA, huh? Whelp, it isn't my money. But it sure as hell isn't taking money out of their pockets, short of maybe whatever bandwidth I use to download the game...Nah, I don't think I'll give Origin the satisfaction of being used and tossed out like a gas-station-restroom condom.

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

Not trying to be that guy but doesn't this count as spam?

 

[Terrible Opinions]

US and Canada, actually. Or at least, it was the other day.

See, EA has been in a bit of a panic because they completely shit the bed on the promotion. The rules of the promo were: US & Canada only, game must be >$19.99, game must be > one month old, game must not be The Old Republic, game must be published by EA.

But they fucked up how the discount applies to games. It applied to each and every single item you entered in to your cart. People were able to throw every $20 game they could find into their carts and with the stacking discount, get them all for free.

EA's been scrambling to tighten it up since last night.

Worked just fine for me now. Got Dragon Age free. Make sure the game's published by EA.
