Any idea how much will Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2: Vietnam starting the 8th? Right now it is 7.45

Where's Dragon Age 2 (PC) on the list? :0

...aaaaaand EA squeezes out some more free advertising both for BF3, and their sale, and only at the expense of their client base.

Well played EA, well played. Admirable.

I loved the Burnout series - LURVED IT - until "Burnout Hell: 8 Finish Lines To Bore You" came and took a steaming dump on everything. Despised it and wonder what's wrong with the people who like it. That's not to say I didn't grab the free Ultimate Box deal back at Christmas, but that was more out of spite than anything.

Am I going to run into "activation limit" troubles if I buy Mass Effect from the EA Store? Help would be appreciated!

Wondering the same thing myself. The sales should overlap over the weekend.

They did away with this years ago. I had thought the same recently though.

I call bs man, they actually RAISE the price on Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2: Vietnam 8.97

I actually held out on buying in hopes of an additional discount on BC2 Vietnam... but now they've actually raised the price.

BS indeed, especially when the banner (prior to this sale) says that all BFBC2 titles are 50% off until April 10th.

Very, very BS. I'm just not gonna buy it altogether now.

damn yeah was too good to be true

Why did you list The Orange Box and HL2; I'm not seeing it discounted on the site. Did EA make more than a few mistakes on the list?

Here I figured they'd give deep discounts on BF3 as a way to push their own digital delivery service. Instead, they pissed off any CAGs paying attention (in multiple ways: Vietnam, Orange Box, etc).

I wonder if anyone is going to bother ordering something, or just wait for a steam sale on the items instead.

(golf clap)

:'( I really wanted to pick up the HL2 pack/TOB!

These prices are off the regular price, not the current price, right? So if I am interested in Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate, it's going to end up being roughly the same as it is now?

in case you were wondering how many people are actively playing battlefield 2 --> http://www.xfire.com/games/bf2/Battlefield_2/

8,000 on average.

since playing BF p4f, i was thinking about getting the digital version so i don't have to install off CDs and then patch, on Vista (yuck!)

Just wondering...but do you guys think we should all email EA with the same complaint about them removing BF3 from the list? Even though it was included in the email as being 40% off, then they quietly remove it the day before the sale.

This strikes me as an obvious effort to pound advertisement for BF3 even more (free of course) and thus also really makes me not even want to buy it at all. Had they never listed it, I probably would have ended up paying full price. But because they listed it, then removed it, now I'm pissed at unethical business practice.

Would it even make a difference if we all emailed them?

I succumbed to the sale and bought Mass Effect, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and the expansion Vietnam. There goes my wallet.

Do any of these games transfer to steam? Never bought from EA before.

No, they don't.

I just figured out today though that you can add a shortcut in your steam game list to launch it even if it isn't a steam game.

oh good find, but the EA download manager software still has to be running in order to play the games bought from EA store, correct?
