Free $20 Origin Credit

I was doing a google search on it and I read someone was able to use it 10 times! not sure how much truth there is to that but I was able to do it 3 times. once within the desktop client, once using IE and once using chrome. Im sure itll work if i use more browsers.

 

Thanks for posting this deal. I never bought any games from Origin except Battlefield 3. I got these four games with this deal...

 

It's odd that some people are able to use it more than once while others aren't. Oh well, I can't complain too much about getting a free game from one of the greediest publishers around lol. I'm tempted to make another account and try again, but I'd hate to get a ban on both accounts if ea decided to pursue people for it.

 

Oh damn, why only for the US?

 

I guess the deal is dead, I tried about 20 games and non work.

 

Code isn't valid for uk.

 

Tried to use the code for the 3rd time, but it is invalid now, darn, wanted to get Red Alert 3 too

Oh well, can't really complain, free Dead Space 1 and 2

Now if Origin client wouldn't freeze my G73 during Dead Space 2 download, that would be really nice -_-

 

I get " Invalid Promo Code"

Oh well, thanks anyway.

Invalid code apparently

 

Doesnt work

 

yeah they ended the loophole, good thing i got my fifa 12

 

Same here, next time we play, please don't beat me so badly

 

Wow, you got two free games out of it?

 

my friends made a few account and got like 3 games. and then they told their friends

 

6 here On the same account.

 

How'd you manage that?

 

Tried the code for armored kill, didn't work /:
Also for Crysis /:

I'm in Asia ):

 

Awww, day late and a dollar short on this one.

 

Found a guide

Go to Origin (Without log-in)
Choose a Game from this list
Apply the Discount Code OS3874XVC
Delete the game from the cart.
Login now
Search the game again and "buy" it for 0$.
Wait for the order confirmation email and of course, the game.


Can somebody get Armored Kill for me? It would be greatly appreciated

 

This guide didn't work for me. - Still got "invalid code"

 

it doesnt work anymore, EA games stopped it

 

The Escapist : News : EA Botches Origin Coupon Giveaway

oh ok

 

lol I'm pretty lucky that I was able to get at least one game out of the code

 

Same here - thanks dummy27! :thumbsup:

 

I like how the article mentions as it hit Reddit, the looting began.
That's why I stay away from that crowd. It's a shame the abuse happened; probably won't see another promo by Origin in the near future.

 

I don't know why they wouldn't offer another promo. They screwed up. All they had to do was generate unique one-use codes.

 

I got 3 games out of it

 

Working on BF3 Premium for anyone ??

 

Must have been cheaper games?
Btw I came to know the promo was limited to North America Only

 

Got the only game out of the list that I was interested in (Bulletstorm).

 

This wasn't EA screwing the customers, this was the customers screwing EA.

 

Sweet, got fifa 2012 for free, thanks a lot

 

Reddit is huge, so it's no wonder that all turns to [word that rhymes with hit] once it hits that level of traffic. From that point on, it's just statistics and basic human behavior unfortunately.

I like Reddit for what it's worth, but can see where you're coming from if all you've seen is the terrible, terrible default frontpage. To me Reddit is more like what Usenet was in that large parts of it are filled with abusive teens and people that post nothing but dumb memes and imgur images. The simple trick is to unsubscribe from all the default subreddits (forums) and seek out the smaller niche ones that are moderated by adults (there are many great places to discuss sports for instance).

 

I wish I had seen this earlier, there is one game I wanted to get and this deal would make it 1/2 price, guess now I have to wait.

 

I never said EA was screwing the customers, just that EA screwed up by issuing an unlimited use code for $20 off. It doesn't take more than a monkey to realize it would be abused.

 

thread subscribed. Hopefully there is a similar offer in the near future. I'm aiming at Mirror's Edge and SimCity 4.

 

that would be epic, especially now that I know all you have to do to get unlimited games is delete your cookies lol. it seems very unlikely though.

 

^ check this website occasionally: Video Game Coupons. it had 60% off of a lot of Origin games until yesterday. it'll post new deals once in a while.

 

cool, thanks man never seen it before. I'll bookmark it and check it occasionally. +rep

 

And if you want to get your cheap games from a far less spammy source, check out /r/GameDeals/ on Reddit or the CAG forums.

 

I just glanced at it, how's it spammy? And I'm familiar with cheapassgamer, been there a bunch of times. I've never noticed a deal like 60% off pretty much everything on origin there before.

 

Perhaps spammy is not quite the right word. I personally just strongly detest low effort, heavily search engine optimized coupon sites that are nothing but hidden referral links. This type of site is the reason that Google is broken for certain keywords and they are all just basically lazily slapped together Wordpress-sites solely aimed at generating a quick buck for the site's owner.

I see no reason to visit a site like that when you can get the exact same information minus the icky referral links from somewhere like the GameDeals subreddit. It'll also get you things like user reviews, DRM information and timely updates when/if the deal changes.
