How can being turned down for codes that have not been advertised be embarrassing for EA?

They don't owe anybody anything. Few people on here have chanced it and got lucky.

Well I had to fight for the discount code as you can see in my chat in post 11883 and I feel rightly so. £40 for the PC game is a lot even if it is latest.

this decides it for me. Might not be able to play it till i get home in DEc, but i am definately pre-ordering this.

Also, sorry if this has been mentioned before, but if i buy retail, do i still have to download this origin rubbish? Would prefer a steam copy but alas...

Can this thread be cleaned up slightly? The last couple of pages are simply quotes from convo's asking for a discount...

Yes, unfortunately. It is not bad though.

If you look back a page youll see i agree, but they should all be singing from the same sheet, and to have your employess suggest that the Warfare pack is simply an add on is

This is my problem, when i first pre-ordered, the PW pack was all that was available on Game, so i assumed it was the whole game plus the extras. Now I'm being told different by at least 3 support staff and am wondering whether to cancel or not.

I used my 20% discount voucher and the price has been reduced. I logged out of origin and then went back in to pre-order and the price stays at the discount value now. Does it mean origin stores the discount information?

Sgt_Pepper · 16 Aug 2011 at 20:52

How big a download do we think this is gonna be if i cancel my Pre and go with origin.

Neil79 · 16 Aug 2011 at 20:53

7-9GB at a guess

LOAM · 16 Aug 2011 at 20:53

LOL mine didn't work, I've been in a queue to tier 2 at EA since 17:03
