I asked my friend if he got anything and he didn't, so they're clearly rewarding those with larger junk, ifyouknowwhutImean.

I didn't have it checked to send me promo stuff, that's probably why I didn't get it. I just unchecked it, but probably too late now. :(

Yeah I just looked at my account and I had it unchecked also, so I got punished for not liking EA's spam in my inbox. YAY!

I've been on EA account for years now (since BFBC2 release), but I just used the Origin client today to dl a game...are my chances slim on getting an email for a free game?

I got the email (thanks for telling me to check my spam folder, fellow CAGs) but the promo code is coming up as invalid.

Keep it classy, EA.

Edit: The code was invalid on the website, but it worked in the client. I'm clearly spoiled by Steam, where a storefront is a storefront is a storefront.

I just checked my email, didn't get one.

Contacted EA Live Support. They indicated that the codes were given out completely at random. They also stated that they couldn't (likely meant wouldn't) do anything about those members who did not receive a code.

No code for me. I changed my email preference, but it's probably too late, if it even would have made a difference. Ho hum.

Were you using it on their site or in the desktop client? Can't be on their site (was doing it for me too); has to be in the actual Origin client itself.

I never bought anything from there before, but get e-mails all the time from EA, so that's probably why I got the code. Only games I had on there were Dragon Age 1, 2, and Mass Effect 2, and I bought those off of Amazon.

Haha, totally in my spam folder. Anyways, the only one I didn't have was Spore, so... eh. wtf.

I'm sure this is EA's way of getting me comfortable with actually buying something from their store rather than just inputting codes from boxed copies of games, amazon-bought copies, and steam codes (the ones that work).

no email for me

It was in my spam folder as well! Thanks for the tip, I got DA:O.

I changed my e-mail preferences a few weeks ago. I don't think I'll be getting one of these, but I enabled it just in case.

Their site said I needed to validate my email. Been about 24 hours since I clicked the link for them to send the email. Yeah EA!

Why isn't the PC version of DA:O coming up in the Collection search here?

Even if you got it, it'd probably not have a link to verify...mine didn't. I had customer support verify my address for me, but didnt matter anyway as they still never sent me a code.

I got one and never bought a thing from origin... Now what to get

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up, mine also went to Gmail Spam folder.

I have been really jonesing for a Dragon Age replay after selling my PS3 copy after playing through it the first time on release.

The single player of Bad Company 2 is very enjoyable, however it biggest strength was its online, which has died down alot since Battlefield 3 came out, you will still be able to find games, it is just 'last weeks news' so to speak.

Dragon Age: Origins is a great RPG which feels very Game of Thrones style story meeting gameplay elements from Knights of the Old Republic from Bioware. This is the title I would suggest the more.

Spore was not my thing and bored me to tears.

My thoughts exactly. Good luck with that one EA!
