EA origin sale from today, most of games are 50%

Origin is lame, wake me when they stop being derps and go back to Steam.

People complain less if they are able to be (extra) greedy themselves.. It's an up-to-50% spring sale on games by EA and others that a fair amount of people seem to like so let them complain about getting a discount..

Thanks for sharing.

(anybody can confirm that these are Origin-only titles? Or are the Ubi-titles the regular Uplay regardless here too eg?)

thanks but no thanks

Thanks for Skyrim!

I didn't even sign up to Origin to get BF1942 for free. Fuck EA. Normally I'd say competition is good for the consumer, but I'd happily support a Steam monopoly on digital distribution if EA died screaming because of it.

I read an article today that "Researchers at ReVuln claim that Origin, the digital game store operated by the publisher, is susceptible to a major exploit that could allow hackers to secretly install malicious code on a player's computer. The vulnerability was demonstrated on stage at the Black Hat Europe Conference, where Donato Ferrante and Luigi Auriemma managed to assume control of a PC with Origin and Crysis 3 installed."

probably a non issue and will get patched fairly quick. but I figured id mention it.

Isn't the hack still going?

The only thing I am interested in are Bioware Points (to pay for the content that should have been in the game in the first place), but, yet again, the price remains constantly the same. Go buy a game during the "sale", so that you can buy DLC's for 3x the amount of money the game costs without the "sale".

Too bad I don't know any additional voucher to get price down more. During Xmas I've bought Fifa 13 for my brother for around $12 that way - didn't had to look for his birthday gift that way :P .

EA Executive #1: "Boy, we really screwed the pooch on this SimCity release. We're getting more bad press and hate mail than usual from our suck-- um, I mean customers. Anybody have a plan to salvage this?"
EA Executive #2: "Well, we could try bribery, again. How about a big sale on all EA titles, 50-75% off?"
EA Executive #1: "Great idea! Only, let's make it up to 50% off except for the few titles nobody has been buying. Oh, and we'll also limit the sale to Origin-only titles. And finally, let's buy some press releases to tell everyone how generous we are!"

Consumer #1: "Hey, look, EA is having a sale."
Consumer #2: "Up to 50% off their already-overpriced, Origin-only titles? I think I'll go wash my cat."

My Origin already has more on it then I want.

Thanks, but I stopped buying EA games after Bad Company 2.

I might actually interested in any Origin sales if the price is in USD not Euro.

Wouldn't touch Origin with a bargepole sized electric cattle-prod, but thanks for sharing all the same :)

why the hell Origin never sell a complete Mass effect 3 edition with ALL DLC inside, you know...... complete edition. I will never buy it just to have spend a even bigger ammount of money than the game price just to have a complete edition

And where the hell they put those DLC for Mass effect on their store ??, with steam i just have to to look below and see "ah they have sale of this game, and those DLC, i can buy seperately or buy a complete with everything inside " thank you, is that so god damn hard to do

FYI, Euro Truck Simulator 2 can be bought on Origin, but the key can be activated on Steam :)

Make sure to put a - after each 5 characters to activate the key.

This sale started ~3-4 days ago...

50%? o.O
Maybe Steam spoiled me, but I won't bother for less than 66%. :D

Thanks for the info! I'll think about getting FIFa 13 and BF3 Premium.

NO.

The only great deal is KoA:R: 5€ (which is still as expensive as it's DLCs...)

ty, BF3 is a good deal

BTW, square-enix store is also running their 50% off sale...

No.

Lol, all of the free games given to SimCity owners are on sale. And the fact this sale has arrived after giving away all those free games, is clearly a coincidence.
