    EA Store downloads wont activate on Steam, and neither does retail keys im afraid. D:
    Only Steam protected games will activate on your Steam account, like retail version of Call of Duty ect.

    It includes ALL of the EA games available for download in the EA Store.
    So yeah, you can get Crysis 2 for half the price.

    I bought Mass Effect 2 for 33% off on the U.S. site [$14, includes tax], so not a complete loss.

    I do wish the U.S. had the 50% off.
