Still working, just got Mass Effect 2
Good thing I used the coupon to get games shipped to me. Unless they stop the shipment I will be getting a free copy of the Sims 3.
I'm now the proud owner of The Saboteur. Hoping it will download before EA takes action.
Fuck yeah, got Battlefield 2142. Sweet.
So Mass Effect 2 works, but Mass Effect 1 doesn't? (I didn't see it on the list of working games)
I really feel like an asshole for doing this, but EA has be nothing but shit to me in regards to helping me get a game without a CD key. So fuck them.
Anyone else think EA's doing this on purpose to get more of us to 'convert' to Origin? :tinfoil:

It should, it's just a list of games people tried and it worked with. It only works once per account.

If so, I'm fine with it. I got 2 games for free, and now Spore thanks to this. So I am very content.

Tried it and it does, get her Sim City 4 instead. Less frustrating and more fun.

It does? What am I doing wrong, I get invalid code even though its a new account, fresh cookies and on that store/ipr link?
It seems i get stuck on ''Thank you for your order. Your order is being processed and you will be notified of the result shortly.''
Every damn time, and even if i wait like 10 minutes nothing happends.
Dangit, I wanted to get the Sims 2, but I got Mirrors Edge instead.
Oh well, at least I still got a new game!
Also can someone verify Command and Conquer [B]3[/B]/Kane's Wrath?

I had that, but then I received the goods a few hours later.

Try using the link beforehand, I don't remember it now. Also you should clear cookies and what not. Use different addresses for the final purchase/correct code/etc.

ah sweet! thanks for telling me!
Tried to get MOH for a friend. Says processing order.
Are they moderating orders? What does it mean?
Managed to get simcity 4. Not sure what else to get.

I had the same thing, I just went to bed and woke up and I had 8 new games.

RA3
ugh, I got 2142 and Medal of Honor:Airborne through this, but MoH refuses to work. It wants my EA account, but either doesn't connect to servers or refuses to activate on the account. what the hell man
Well crap, it's not working for me. All I wanted was some Bejeweled 3.
OK I am getting payment authorization failed.
Now what?
Got Dragon Age 1 & 2 and Mass Effect 1 & 2.

And Mass Effect 2's order didn't go though. Says "Thank you for your order. Your order is being processed and you will be notified of the result shortly. "
Holy shit guys, when it says 'processing' wait like an hour and suddenly all the games you queued up are there.
I just got Mirror's Edge. Thanks for being a fuck-up, EA!

Does this count as piracy?
