      • The code can be applied to physical copies.

        I tried on the command and conquer first decade. $2.50 post to the US.

  • Don't use what sorry? I'm a bit confused :P

    EDIT: Also, nothing happens when I try to apply it to an order (Mass Effect 3). I used the link for the deal, there is 'en-US' in the checkout URL I'm currently on, and there is "Price is in US dollars, and is applicable to U.S. and Canadian residents only" at the bottom of the page, so I'm pretty sure I'm using the American store.

    EDIT 2: Yes I tried adding Crysis Warhead to my cart as well, and the coupon code works then. Problem is I don't want Crysis… haha.

  • Silly question, but how do we access the USA Origin store instead of Australia?

    • +2

      using the link i posted

      • Yeah, I figured it out, thanks :D

  • I think the promo code is over.. " Invalid promo code "??

    • no you are using the aussie store using the american store u can use the code

  • +1

    I had issues with it too and couldn't seem to use it for some games. Got Crysis Warhead though from the link at the top of the page (http://store.origin.com/?ipr=ty).

  • -2

    How do one access the US store?

    • +1

      read above

      • Thanks for the link. Think I posted just after that one went up.

  • Other ideas:

    Darksiders
    Mass Effect 1 ($15) or 2
    Bastion ($15)
    Orcs Must Die 2 ($15)
    Dead Space 1 or 2
    Mirror's Edge

    • has to be $19.99 or higher

      • I just got Mass Effect 1 working on it… $0.00 for ME1 which was $15?

      • I just bought some ME1 DLC ($5) and it worked just fine.

    • Orcs Mus Dies 2 doesn't work…

  • Looks to work on Bulletstorm, Medal of Honor, and Battlefield 2: Complete Collection as well.

  • Really suprised EA hasn't done anything about this yet, the code has been valid for about 24 hours. Wonder if they will cancel all the orders?

  • +1

    Ok, you can't use the code for new games (less than a month old), valve games orange pack, portal etc. , preorders and Star Wars The Old Republic

  • +6

    Apparently before they fixed it, you could add multiple games to cart and apply the code each time and you can get multiple games for free. Ended up just getting FIFA 12.

    If you want to see which game this code works on go here:

    http://slickdeals.net/f/5325376-Still-alive-Get-your-free-ga…

    • OP or mods: this link shows all the games it does and doesn't work on, would be nice if it was up top in the post. Thanks.

  • when I want to buy my second game I have to create a new account? new mail? cheers. because I tried with my account but it ask me about a credit card. Cheers

    • If you have a gmail account, just use [email protected]
      and change modifier to anything you want, it'll all still go into your gmail account. Looks like some have had success with it.

      • Do you have to enter the "+" for that to work?

        • Yes, you need the + for it to work.

  • +3

    thanks! Just got NFS Hot Pursuit

  • +5

    Found a trick, after you got your first game, logout, remove the cookies then add the game you want, then apply code, then continue, it'll will tell you to log in, use the login from last time and then do the address thing again, complete purchase and Ta-da another game

    • That should have been patched, most reports seem to indicate it's now one per account :(

    • Doesn't work? And you wouldn't want it to anyway.

      • yes it does, you have to clear the cookies, the first time i did it, i didn't remove the cookies and i had to pay $20 but then i removed the cookies and it worked

        • Does this still work? Been clearing cookies and no luck for second game. Been using same login details.

        • -4

          Why don't you just go torrent the games if your that keen on bending the rules?

        • He is an ozbargainer. I expect you didn't redeem a free game for yourself then.

        • Multiplayer?

        • I cleared cookies and tried in chrome, IE, firefox and safari. No dice.

    • It worked once for me literally 5 minutes ago (picked up Dragon Age, having already grabbed The Saboteur around an hour ago), but now the discount is removed when I login.

      • same thing here, got hot pursuit then tryed getting DA:O and it no longer lets me

    • Just worked for me! Did exactly what you said :D

  • How long is it taking you guys to get your game? Order supposedly processed.. but no game.

    • mine says no orders to display…

    • check your origin app, i got all my games before being order is checked

      • Ohh ok, mass effect 2 just appeared.. which is the game i tried second using your trick.
        Ah well :)
        Free game!
        EDIT: 11GB download… 55min remaining. Time to go buy a croissant for breakfast/lunch and see if EA removes my game when i get back.

        • They won't do anything, I still have my 5 free games from when they screwed up the bonus last time.

    • Immediately. If not log out and log back in with origin.. Will show then

  • I'm quite confused. Has anyone got the code to work for Mass Effect 3 (if it is still active, that is). I put the code in, and the page reloads with no change…

    • +2

      confirmed on forums that mass effect 3 does not work

  • The site seems to be under heavy load. :P

  • same s*it happened to mine,nothin changed after applying the code.

  • I get invalid serial code after trying to add a key to my Origin account. I guess it's locked to my fake US ones?

    • Yes it is tied to the account.

  • +1

    I just got Back to Karkland for free to go with BF3 I bought for $10, I still don't know wtf I'm doing in this game but it's been a bargin!

    • I just did the same thing. Now I am regretting not getting the Close Quarters expansion instead.

  • just got fifa 12 thanks

  • -2

    I posted this in the forum yesterday: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/forum/40715

    I requested it deleted because there is a HIGH chance all these purchases will be frozen. And the games will be deleted from you're account.

    This code was given out as apart of a survey..

    • i know i did the survey

        • +1

          you need to check before making assumptions, the survey works for anyone. NOT ip limited. I am not using a proxy and also completed the survey.

          EDIT
          should also have, like with a lot of online stores, some of us have accounts for more than one region. Hooray for travelling OS so much :(

        • actually a friend in america told me and he said it was a little surprise

    • have they done this before? the deleting of the games part? I still have a few origin accounts with all 10 of the free games from the last time they stuffed up the store with a buy one game get one free (you could grab all the games offered and remove the paid game and still pay $0 for the 10 added games). None of those were removed/blacklisted.

      • +1

        I find it unlikely they will delete anything. Earlier they had a bug where you could buy around 7 or 8 games for $0.0, this was on the Australian origin store. They never removed them or did anything. Everyone who got those games still has them without any trouble.

        • he has retracted his opinion on what might happen, seems out of context now.

    • steam

  • worked for me, thanks, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.

    • How did you get it work with the code? I added the same game in PS3 platform and nothing changed.

      • i did mine in PC platform, game was $19.99 and it went through without a hitch.

        • hey opasx, did you put in all fake details? what about your email addy? do you need to go in your email and activate anything? :S

          I don't know whether to use my real one or fake it up

        • +1

          i did both, one account is fake and it worked (added it to other free games from origin) and then i tried using my AU account, it just wanted US and different state. Seems to have worked there too.

    • i got that too =D

  • Hi guys, do I need Origin application to play these games? Or can I play without the app? Thanks in advance

    • +1

      You need the app to download and install the game but you can run them without the app.

      • How do you run the games without the Origin application exactly?

        • Fnd the .exe file in the Origin folder under program files, then create a shortcut to the desktop. I just lauched the file with that account signed in and it worked fine.

  • Nice - picked up Spore for the kids…

  • +4

    Lol, I love all these deals that happen on the weekend (Grays/Origin)- because you know no one will be in the office to check… and then come Monday - BAM! OzBargained! =)

    • That's life.

  • grabbed medal of honor since battlefield premium doesnt work!

    • It's a $20 code. How is it supposed to "work" and take off $50 for premium? :/

      • cause i was hoping to be able to pay $30 for it - and note in the description it says $20 or more - so i assumed i was going to be able to use my own money to cover it.

  • I keep getting "Payment Authorization Failed". Hmm…

    New browser, new account, new everything, same error. Oh well.

  • http://store.origin.com/store/ea/en_US/pd/ThemeID.718200/pro…

    walking dead season pass for $5, not bad.

    • Did you have to do anything special to get the code to apply? I was eyeing it when I saw this, but using the code does nothing for me.

      • Does not work. Game is considered 'new'

  • Also guys: You can add upto 4 games at once and this still works. Just make sure you apply the code after you select all 4 games under $20.

    • thx

    • How do you do this? I tried with 4 games in my cart and it only took $20 off one of them.

  • do we need an American address?

    • +1

      As it has been said multiple times , yes and also use the USA origin store.

  • can i use game bought like this in my original origin account if i change the country setting in my account to usa??

    • you can, this is how it is done:
      1. use the link to the us origin store at the top
      2. log into your regular origin account using the login button at the top of th eus store.
      3. select your game and add to cart, see the list of games in one of the replies here.
      4. add the code and the balance will change to $0.0
      5 then when doing the ordering part it will ask for a US or Canadian address, here you can just use a fake address.
      6. you'll then get a confirmation email of the order.

  • I need a lesson.

    I clicked on www.orgin.com
    I accidently clicked on localise and now Au comes up on www area
    How do I get the American store?
    can you use forwarding address?

    Cyris warhead does not require original game?

    • click the ozbargain link, in the deal, not the origin.com hyperlink in the text. add the game you want to the cart, apply the code and go to checkout. the code will only work for US/Canadian addressed accounts (country and state etc need to be correct)

  • +1

    Thanks, got Dragon Age 2.

  • .

  • +2

    Alright guys, just "bought" NFS: Hot Pursuit

    This is what you do:
    1. Find the game (on the AMERICAN Origin site), add it to your cart
    2. Apply the code shown on top in the code section and click submit
    3. Chuck in your details, (email can be fake, but make sure you actually remember it! because you'll need it to login into the origin client - just like you do on steam) - I used fakenamegenerator and put in US Locations etc
    4. After submitting all your details you should get a confirmation screen that everything went well
    5. Download the origin client, install, and login with your email addy and password you provided earlier
    6. Go to 'My Games' at the top and you'll see your game there, now all you gotta do is download!

    • can i use game bought like this in my original origin account if i change the country setting in my account to usa??

      • +1

        You're buying a game from the US origin store. To complete the process you need a US address for billing (even if it is $0). Your actual origin accounts 'location' doesn't matter - as long as you have logged in with it.

    • Thanks, I bought the same game..
