Any chance of a little poll please. Quite interested in this as it may help my decision.

Which free game will you be choosing from EA's offerings to compensate for their epic fail in the Sim City release?

Battlefield 3 (Standard Edition)
Bejeweled 3
Dead Space 3 (Standard Edition)
Mass Effect 3 (Standard Edition)
MOHW (Standard Edition)
NFS Most Wanted (Standard Edition)
Plants vs. Zombies
SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition
 
Already own all the ones that I actually want from that list :/ I guess I could pick up SimCity 4 as I don't own the deluxe edition, only the regular.
 
Just got my free game, chose Most Wanted :D

If you want to possibly force the featured today thing to appear then head to C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Origin\

Inside should be a file like "Local_yyyyyy.xml" or somethimg, or some .xml files. Inside one of them, should be something like below:

Code:
<Setting key="PromoBrowserOriginStartedLastShown" type="2" value="3333320"/>

To try and force it to show the featured today message when you start Origin to get your free game, then minus that value by 1, so above would now be 3333319 and save it. Restart Origin and it should display the featured today message, which has the free game option.


edit: This is obviously if you don't or can't wait to get your game xD When you restart Origin it will make the value back to what it is, or should... Also the feature today may not appear when you do this, seems sketchy whether it works or not but did for me and others.

I like how they choose pretty much all DLC driven games XD

I'll probably take most wanted but I'm not sure if I will actually play it
 
If I had Sim City (and I may still get it), I'd probably pick Mass Effect 3 from that list, mainly because I love the ME games and it'd give me an excuse to pick up ME1 and 2 cheap from Steam next time they're on sale.
 
Used above method to get it to show up and picked Most Wanted instead, seems DS3 and ME3 are just DLC spam.

most wanted is full of dlc cars?
