Hoarding the DDL market? wat?BlackDove said:Why the fuck would anyone want to buy anything directly from EA and their garbage attempt at hoarding the DDL market.
Don't people have principles.

Yea. That is one major flaw. You cant have access to your account history outside of the client itself.LQX said:There is such a awkwardness to EA site which makes me apprehensive. For such a major publisher the site lacks a normalcy to the login system. Its not clear on your purchases or where your information is. Maybe the download program is better but the site stinks.
Nirolak said:Hmm, Bullestorm for $15.
And it came out in Feb for 60$, 4 months is all it took to drop to 20% of the original price.scitek said:Nooooo $12 is better! http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-BSUS/bulletstorm

Their Swedish site had 50% off everything just a few months ago. I prefer to keep my stuff on Steam though, unfortunately EA's prices on Euro-Steam are so high they're not that great deals even at 66% off.VibratingDonkey said:Haven't checked yet but I bet in Sweden the sale is so bad that it doesn't even exist.
And I'm right.
The Swedish EA store always has and always will be absolutely useless. The only thing that changed with the introduction of Origin was the banner.
CecilRousso said:Well, it´s a bit suprising when it comes to the DRM. I´ve seen lengthy discussions here about how future proof Steam is or isn´t, and here we have a system were it apparently is standard with 5 machines activation, and where they only guarentee that the titles will be available for you for 12 months.

scitek said:Bulletstorm for $14.99 is a great deal. Dead Space 2, as well.
EDIT: NM, It's $11.98 on Gamersgate. Holy shit. http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-BSUS/bulletstorm
You should be able to for anything after like 2007/early 2008.nexen said:QUESTION: can you register storebought boxed copies of EA games on Origin?
MOH and ME2 and Shift 2 in particular.

LovingSteam said:For games before 2007 all you have to do is contact EA live chat and provide them with the key or your account info used with the game and they will add it to your Origin account.
Zimbardo said:i'll have to look into doing that someday i guess.
i have copies of Battlefield 2 Complete, Battlefield 2142, C&C 3 ...and a few others that i wouldn't mind having on Origin.
I would kill for a digital version of 2142. Guess I'll sign up for an Origin account.LovingSteam said:Should be seamless.

PaulLFC said:Which older games did you manage to get them to register? The guy I spoke to wouldn't register my disc copies of Sims 2, C&C Generals and Black & White 2 because he said they were too old, even though I'm sure Sims 2 is, or use to be, sold on EADM.
I even had to argue with him over the recentness of Spore and Mass Effect 1 before he'd register them.
Battlefield 2 will probably be featured in the Steam SS, but yeah I doubt they'll have Bad Company 2 for less.Eric WK said:One of the major reasons I was anticipating the Steam Summer Sale so highly was because of Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 2. Guess I'll jump on BC2 now and throw in 2142 while I'm at it.
Battlefield 3 is having an open beta for everyone. No need to buy MoH.wwm0nkey said:Wait Medal of Honor PC will get you into the PC Battlefield 3 beta right?
LovingSteam said:Honestly, for those of you who want to register your older games (even those from Steam like Mirrors Edge, Spore, BF2) I'd do it soon. With the whole bruhaha going on with Valve and EA, EA seems more open to go the extra mile to gain a potential customer. But yea, you should be able to add even those. But like any customer support its the luck of the draw and just how happy the individual is at the time.
They recently said the "open beta" was the MoH beta so due to their poor choice in wording im not sure if they mean its still MoH only or not.Izayoi said:How do I get my physical copy of 2142 added to my origin account, by the way? Is there a button somewhere?

They announced open for all at E3.wwm0nkey said:They recently said the "open beta" was the MoH beta so due to their poor choice in wording im not sure if they mean its still MoH only or not.
Though since its out in September I assume it will be open for all.
Didnt pay to much attention too much of the news there since I was on the show room floor XDIzayoi said:They announced open for all at E3.
