An EA account is actually an umbrella account that includes several legacy accounts, including POGO, which is the account necessary for you to have for Origin customer service to activate ME1 from a CD key.

Has been taken by someone allready. Thanks for posting it.

45 minutes or so to go until the inevitable complaints that people thought they had more time to get the bundle, didn't know about the bundle, ask when the bundle is returning, etc...

I think I have a new tier when thinking about a game and price:

1. I'll get for pre-order/retail (never for me, but someday I might)

2. I'll get for 25%-50% off (rare)

3. I'll get when it hits $15-10 during a seasonal sale (sometimes)

4. I'll get when it bottoms out at $5 or less (pretty common, with maybe a little more if there is a ton of GOTY DLC).

And now...

5. I'll get when it ends up in one of Tony's packs

EA pack deal is up until 10/6?

With EVE, you can afford your monthly sub from ingame money if you're okayish at it. My friend says between 6 hours (Incursions) and 16 hours (mining) is what he needs to 'invest' monthly.

Also worked for my preorder copy, *now*. At launch it sure did not. Thanks.

I believe that it is deal of the week and should be valid until 10/06/2012. If you look at http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...rd_i=979455011 it says it is deal of the week so I assume the usual Sunday to Saturday. If not I am sure Tony will correct me tomorrow and let us know the valid dates of the deal.

I haven't been actively seeking those 5 games, but for $2 each, I'm buying it, definitely all games I'm interested in. The giant list of games on my Steam and Origin accounts keeps growing...

Thanks for the Bulletstorm info. The key i got from the Amazon EA sale on January just activated without problems on Origin.

The game absolutely activates on Steam, we won't even be distributing a build, only a Steam Key. Go tell your NBA loving friends to come pre-order the game!

This got pushed back to at least 10/16.

Burning, Flaming, Reflecting Bundle Origin Activation Questions:

Originally Posted by CheapLikeAFox Yeah, these games can be registered on Origin except for Bulletstorm I believe (not too sure about Mercenaries either). I've heard some people say they've had to chat with Origin support to get Saboteur to work as well. But all of them are playable by DLing the install files from Amazon and installing outside of Origin just using the serial provided.

Originally Posted by r9800pro Same here Played it twice and totally loved it The version Amazon sells is not Origin redeemable but with a little chat with Origin support, they will register it for you and if you're lucky enough they can even give you another key for the Limited Edition Saboteur from Amazon does register on Origin though, I did it myself As for Sleeping Dogs new price, hell, even at full $49.99, it is worth every penny. The game is one of the best games that were released recently. Period

Originally Posted by TraBuch Didn't work for me when I bought that bundle months ago. Douchebag customer service dude I chatted with kept telling me to take a picture of the serial key and the box or else he couldn't do anything. He didn't seem to understand the concept of buying an online code.

Originally Posted by BernardoOne So, Tony, how is the situation on the Strategy First bundle?

Originally Posted by UW_Shocks In addition to the above, any idea of how much the Strat-First Bundle will cost and how many games it will come with? I'm definitely buying the Strat-First and 1C bundles, but trying to see if I have enough funds for the EA Pack.

Originally Posted by TraBuch Oh, and Tony, any plans for getting the PC version of The Amazing Spider-Man on Amazon?

Originally Posted by r9800pro Bulletstorm or The Saboteur ? If it is Bulletstorm then yes, you'll need 2-3 tries to make Origin Support register it for you because what Amazon sells is the GFWL key, not Origin key but a screenshot of your Amazon account with the key should be a good idea Origin chat help has gone really bad lately with all those India reps (no offense intended) It is already on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/Activision-The...r-man+download

Originally Posted by nategator So do we have any consensus on which games are able to be registered on Origin and which are not?

Burnout Paradise -- yes. Method ??? Mercenaries 2 -- ???? Mirror's Edge -- yes. Method ??? Could some folks that purchased the bundle or individual games from Amazon in the past help us fill in the blanks? Many thanks.

Originally Posted by UW_Shocks EA has a list of games that activate on Origin: https://help.ea.com/article/origin-code-redemption-faq Burnout, Mirror's Edge, and Saboteur all are on that list. That means Bulletstorm [GFWL] and Mercenaries 2 do not activate on Origin [maybe they can be by badgering EA Support]. Found this link: https://help.ea.com/article/redeem-y...code-in-origin Says to contact EA support to have an agent add Bulletstorm to your account. I would refer agents to that link if they refuse to add Bulletstorm to your account.

Originally Posted by golfer This, I posted a fairly long review on this game on the EA sale page, nobody has responded to it yet. I have it on origin and the online aspect of it works. Thanks for the update, even if it wasn't directed at my couple of questions on it.

My EA Rep informs me that ALL of the games in the bundle should now activate on Origin successfully. If they don't Origin CS should get it sorted for you quickly.

The Strat 1st and 1C bundles are stuck in hell. I don't know when they will be leaving but I email our reps at those companies daily :(.

I'm working on something for next month.

We'll have BF3 for $10 one day this weekend. We'll also have the Ultimate Shortcut Pack for 75% off as well.

I just shot an email over requesting that we do this. Stay tuned.

Originally Posted by Greyghost Popcap bundle says it requires Origin. Is that a new thing? I don't recall those games requiring Origin in the past.

I wonder if people will be able to harass EA reps to activate the Popcap games on Origin now.

Requiring Origin is a new thing, but probably should have been expected since EA absorbed PopCap last year.

It's not like NBA2K13 requires Steam flat-out. At retail, it'll be Non-Steam, AFAIK.
A real bummer - especially since for NBA2K12, you gave consumers options for either Non-Steam Version or Steam version...

Since NBA2K12 is now going out of date and getting old with NBA2K13 coming out VERY soon, anytime soon NBA2K12 might hit the cheap (like how it was $5 on GameFly in the end of August)?

EDIT:

Tony,

How were the sales for the 5-pack yesterday? Really good or just normal for this type of sale?

Hi Tony,

I've been checking a couple of times a day for the Wargame: European Escalation [Download] sale we discussed on this thread a couple of days ago already. Would this still be happening? No update on it at all :(

Originally Posted by Fozbot Tony - Can you do a PM on these deals?

I'll have an answer on the Activision stuff tomorrow.

They were good , any reason for asking or just curious?

Oh hey, I thought I answered this. The PM didn't flow through to the site so the pricing is no longer in place. I do have an email in to those guys about running another promo with WGEE in it.

Cheers,
Tony

Poor Tony getting deluged but still fielding questions like a champ!
