Just got an email from EA saying that due to recent updates some people have been unable to download games they have bought.

As a consulation please buy any game worth up to £49.99 from our store for free.

This was even sweeter as I bought MOH and crysis 2 with the 60% off codes posted on here.

So they cost me a total of £30 for 2 full price games. So if I get another game for £49.99 then I will have got £115 of games for only £30.

And I did have problems download MOH as it wouldn;t let me download it for over 7 hours.

Sometimes I love digital downloads!

I know a few others on here were struggling to get their downloads to work so check your inbox and junk mail guys, there might be a nice surprise in there.

So come on guys, what should I spend my £49.99 on please?

Dear Valued EA Store Customer,

Over the past few weeks, we have implemented some exciting changes and upgrades to our EA Download Manager application.

As with any major update, we have many systems and development dependencies that all need to come together seamlessly. Unfortunately, we had a major system go down that we were only able to identify after some of our valued customers were already affected.

The specific issue that occurred failed to deliver the ability to download products that customers were had purchased. We have already corrected the problem and have restored the proper functionality.

Out of a courtesy to you, our valued customers, we are sending you the following coupon code:


This coupon code can be redeemed for a one time purchase, up to £49.99 or equivalent in value, toward the purchase of a single EA Product offered on eastore.EA.com or through the integrated EA Download Manager store.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience or frustrations this may have caused you.

Best Regards,

Electronic Arts

**Checks email**

Pre ordered Crysis 2 with the codes, but as such didn't need to download anything :/

Crysis 2 would be a start :)
 
Crysis 2 was one of the two games I bought. Luckily MOH was available to download str8 away and it wouldn't.

Any other suggestions?

Shame it has to be one item as £49.99 would have got me 3 or 4 games :(
 
Nobody reads on here anymore? :p

Crysis 2 was one of the 2 games I bought already.

Dragon Age 2 is looking good, however just noticed my voucher is valid until May 2011 so might be best to hold onto it for a biggy game? What's due to come out between now and May?
 
BC2 is fantastic - the production values are through the roof. Definitely recommended if you want something to play right away.

Personally, I'd probably just pre-order Dragon Age 2, then wake up crying every day until it's available!
