Origin: 50% off games like BF3 and all Mass Effects



Who's taking advantage of it...?
Who's going to amazon and getting a better deal...?

Find me on steam: joseph_tritico, origin: CarpeDiem3, and Xbox: ineffable3.

Seriously... Steam doesn't have deals often from what I understand

Nah, actually steam does have many offers, up to 75% off. Right now its red orchestra 2, civilization 5 75% off. Also some other games with smaller discounts. I also wish that BF3 would be on steam

Thanks for the update on those deals... I apparently missed something. Yeah thats what I don't like about the contract between EA and Origin. Steam does not have any EA games unfortunately.

yeah steam has deals every day and big deals for the weekday and weekends, 50% off on origin doesnt seem like enough for me seeing as they never lower their games prices so practically anything good is still 20-30 dollars

Just a heads up, Origin is EA. Origin is EA's own digital distribution service.

Steam does have EA games, just nothing recent as EA has been funnelling everything through Origin to boost it's visibility to drive sales.

I had heard about this previously, but I'm not interested in any of their titles. I'll pass.

Have you ever been on steam it is the king of deals! There's a reason why it's the largest online distributor.

Well I always seem to find shady dealers on Amazon selling me brand new games for 50% off... I bought mass Effect 3 for 30 bucks 2 days after it came out, got my disc 1 week later in perfect conditoin, but all the papers were in russian...
