Ordered Crysis 2, Mass Effect 2, and Shadow of the Damned for 360 yesterday. Thanks op!

does dead space 2 for ps3 come with that psn game?

That is too funny. I'm waiting for customer service chat so I can ask for a coupon haha.

Any chance for a sale on bioware points sometime?

No, not really. If one thing Origin is very behind the curve on, it's a User-Friendly interface to check order status', shipping/delivery confirmation, et. al. It's amazing how complicated it can be to figure it out (how to do ANY of the aforementioned); with patience, I was able to get it down and "Bookmarked" the page where I can check things of this nature.

On a side note, some of the Deals/Prices on this Sale are incredible. I am impressed.

Yeah

I want alice but I'm waiting for it to go under 20

Don't know whether you're serious or not... Alice should be $17.49 ($14.99 base price + 3.50 shipping cost) shipped before tax.

Finally got a confirmation e-mail 2 and a half hours later. My order is still not up on the site to check though.

I went a little crazy, but prices were too good;
Battlefield 3, Dead Space 2, Fight Night Champion, Army of Two: The 40th day, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, Shift 2 Unleashed and Dante's Inferno all for $115

BF3 is tempting since I'm an idiot and didn't act fast enough on the "buy ME3 get BF3 free" deal. Think I'm still going to hold off though, having to pay an extra 8 bucks for the Karkand pack sours me on it a little since I already got it free on the 360 version. Really want BF3 PC but I can wait.

WOW ok imma rant on origin, but I just ordered Alice:MR on PS3 for $18.37 after tax and shipping, so there's that.....but seriously, I'm never ordering any downloadable title through Origin, if they can't even design a site less frustrating then this, their online portals and the way they handle DRM must by nightmarish. Navigating that site through me into fits of nostalgia, like early store fronts in the 90's nostalgia. I went through their entire catalog....10 games at a time. When is the "next page" button far more complicated than having to open a menu to select every 10 item set through hundred+ titles, forgetting for the moment that your forced to browse 10 at a time. And then I couldn't open my shopping cart cause it decided to disappear when I clicked on it. At this point I feel like I got the game at a discount for the trouble of trying to buy it in the first place. Never buying anything from EA/Origin again unless I'm absolutely sure there's no DRM BS to activate. When EA/Origin goes down and everyone who bought the downloadable versions (like Alice is at amazon right now for $9, but requires Steam AND an EA activation) I'll be hugging my psychical disk.

and when I try the "this page" link in customer service as referenced above, it says I have no orders, even though I got my email receipt and my PayPal account was charged as (DigitalRiver Inc). Whatever, I'll just consider it a purchase from some no name site where I don't expect better. Steam's got no worries, that's for sure.

I mean seriously EA, the order history is suffering from a "link outage", WTH happened, the intern who designed the page can't be reached cause he's on vacation, and none else there know's how to fix a hyperlink in an html?!? So the best decision you can make is to take all of it down?? really? and that forum post saying it it suffering a technical issue was posted 7/7/2011, and it's STILL down!?! and I'm supposed to trust that all my personal info is safe.....with you.....on the same servers....when you can't fix a technical glitch on the order history page in 8 months!?

OMG, I jut got an email order confirmation, but they actually tell you how to look up step by step your order history by going through the customer service link, and saying the post should be at the top of the page (which it isn't). How brainless it that, so they have to keep editing the email as the forum fills up...ok now it's the 10th one down..no wait it's 12, now it's...guys we should just fix the link. Shhhhh, you know we don't know how!

I'm gonna die of laughter at this rate.

Did anyone try a birthday code with their order and see if they can get another 50% off?

Thanks. After all the issues other had I should have figured it was just their crappy site.

The old EA store seemed to work much better IMO.

Yes... it's pretty bad. And the last 2 Orgin games I have tried have been buggy as he//. Battlefield on the 360 was a server not available wreck and the Simpsons Ipad game keeps crashing.

Tried with my b-day code, it was for another 25% off - shows that it stacked.
Thanks for the tip, almost forgot about it. What to get. lol.

From what I remember, those have only gone on sale 1 time since 2007, that last 50% off everything sale from last fall. They're not in this sale though.

I was going to wait for an ultimate edition, but I doubt the dlc is good for anything. If I like the game I'll be happy to buy some good dlc if there is any.

The 2 DLC's for that game (Legacy and Mark of the Assassin) are better than 1/2 to 2/3 of the main quests in DA 2. There likely won't be an Ultimate Edition of DA 2 as the game floundered in sales after the first month and since MoftA came out in October it's been dead quiet on the DA front.

If those DLC's are part of the sale, buy them and you'll thank me later, they are awesome.

They aren't on Origin, you have to buy them with that Bioware points shenanigans, hence why someone asked about the Bioware points being on sale.

If EA had done them as a regular retail release on Origin and elsewhere then the game would still be on Steam, but they went with the only get through them and jump through the Bioware points hoops and that's why Steam yanked it.

I feel the same. I'm irked by the "storewide" bit because of this alone. It's not like KoA is brand new either...
