Mod 2/12: Deal is available again after being unavailable since the 16/11 a few hours after posting - thanks to Themojorising for the heads up.
Best way to show it is a + vote
it says "There was an issue that kept us from completing your request. No need to panic, just give it another try later. " :/ i cant download it, even by searching the game from the client
It's not available yet, happening to everyone.
yeah i read about it, thanks
Thanks TA
Older game but very bloody good.
People may have heard of the games the devs of jade empire make these days. One is called Dragon Age and the other is called Mass Effect.
Don't forget the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic series either - awesome games.
Oh I didn't forget about KOTOR. I just didn't mention it because they don't make it anymore. Or maybe they are going to make a new one more given the movies!
@Putnum: well they only made the first KotOR, not the second, but arguably it is continuing as the 'Old Republic' online MMO.
Fingers crossed for a proper KotOR3 though! Disney/EA know we want it, EA has the rights to Star Wars games at present, and they also own Bioware, so…
Not showing as On The House anymore.
wow i remember playing this all the way back on original xbox…really good stuffs
On the house still shows Red Alert 2 for me.
The link above takes me to Jade Empire, priced at $24.99
Are you on the AU version, or another region?

Wow, how early you wake up TA or you're awake more than 24 hours?
Yep. Early flight to Sydney.
Lock up your daughters (and your bargains), folks! tightarse is on his way to Sydney to Broden our bargains!!!
Hmm, the first reference might be a bit inappropriate considering who you are talking about.
That's the kind of thing that causes a shit storm when done in a social media, company context.
I let you think about that for a bit longer. But your reason is a good one, too as no parents like dates with a hedgehog in their pocket for their daughters.
Are you cereal?
I Just went there like couple days ago.
Anyway dont forget to bring your towel umbrella & be aware of how impatience and unfriendly the majority of SYD people are. Just talking real based on my experience
If you want to spent your days there for travelling I can gave you some advice but Im sure you know your way.
Showing $24.99 for me now

Literally bought it 20 hours ago during GOG fall sale! Oh well, for less than 3 USD, it was still a great bargain.
Oh man I loved this game way back. Good memories, but I had to cheese some bosses :(
For what its worth, Red Alert 2 is the current On the House game.
This seems to be the better link
Great.
I log into origin and it says online mode not available, try again later.
Now its showing as expired?
How I did I miss this?
1am in the morning.
Hay guys, I don't mean to fuel any type of hype so I could be wrong, but I heard they accidentally sent this out early? Or apparently there was some sort of problem so its put on hold for now. I reckon within the next few days it will come back as being free again as properly being on the house (It should've taken over the Red Alert Command and Conquer 2 spot, but instead people found it through the shop search).
Wasn't within the next few weeks, but at least it came back yall :p
Yes I'm hoping that's the case too
Hope so. Would loved to get the PC version. Its an excellent game. Even the old xbox/backwards compatible 360 version that I have is great for a classic xbox title.
Never worked for me, then it expired.
Damn i hope they put it back, missed it :(
available again
You're a legend :D
So my post about this got flagged as a duplicate and redirected back here despite the this being marked as expired and suspect ed of a price error anyway.
And no one can see it now because of its date stamp. Good work mods
Ulp theyve higlighted and brought back the original post back into the light. Which is a good thing
Did the same to me, I don't mind, but would've been good if they did it after this one got changed back not before.
Good to see it highlighted though, now that the deal is back.
Either way, amazing game, and amazing deal. This used to be one of my favs and I'm really happy it works with controller support as well. Would recommend everyone to get it. Loved the lore.
thanks.. missed out the first time :)
worked for me thanks OP

but its Origin….
i got mine from GOG DRM free. rather pay the money then have to use Origin.
but, free is free.
I am getting a licence error after installing while launching the game.
lol, Origin has made a fatal mistake with this promo by assuming I could be bothered installing Origin.
I get my gas/elec from AGL by the way.
How is it any different to steam?
I have AGL gas hot water, the system is capped to 50 degrees because of QLD government regulations but it actually still comes out fairly steamy.
Lol
Mods - Oops, just found TA's post from 16/11/2015. Didn't mean to post a dupe, please remove this post if necessary.
Part of Origin's 'On the House' promotion where they give out free full games.
Download the Origin client (PC/Mac) and create a free account to take advantage of this offer (Note - Game is PC version).
No idea on the expiry (only states "AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY")
Free?! What's the catch?
There's no catch. Grab full games, expansions and more at absolutely no cost. Just make sure to act fast because On the House specials can appear and disappear at any time.
You mean a trial or demo, right?
Nope. You’re getting a full version of the real game — for free!
How long will I own the game?
Once you’ve claimed your game, it’s yours to keep!
Why is Origin doing this?
Our goal is to provide a great gaming experience and a way to discover awesome new games. Having a game in your library, for free, is a fantastic way to see what Origin is all about.
Become a Martial Arts Master
When danger threatens, you travel across the world, from the harsh mountains of the Land of Howling Spirits to the lush gardens of the Imperial City.
In your adventures you face powerful human and supernatural foes, learn exotic and magical martial arts, and discover the darkest secrets of the world.
Only by mastering the greatest fighting styles and defeating the most powerful enemies will you earn your place as a master of martial arts in the world of Jade Empire.
Jade Empire™ Features:
Experience an epic story and journey with unforgettable characters across a graphically beautiful, fantastic new world inspired by the myths and legends of ancient China. Jade Empire will immerse you in a deep, rich storyline from BioWare, developers of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series. Sinister events upset the peaceful harmony of an isolated martial arts school, drawing you into a story that unfolds with drama, action, and adventure. Detailed followers and other non-player characters enrich the adventure by providing comic relief, rivalries, flirtations, and hostility. Stare in awe at the sweeping views of the lush environments, sheer vertical drops, and overpowering scale that provide the visual backdrop to the story. Confront wild outlaws, evil magicians, demonic incarnations, and other foul villains that protect the Jade Empire’s darkest secrets.
Become a martial arts master! Using the knowledge gained in crafting multiple story-based role playing games, BioWare sends you on a journey to become a martial arts master. Choose a character with a unique appearance, and a powerful combination of ability scores and fighting styles. You can choose to act for good or evil, and these decisions build your reputation, changing the course of interactions with other characters and followers. Take the role of a master of martial arts, and recruit followers to your cause in an interactive, living world.”
That limited time, has been the last 6 months or so.
Yep seems that way….
