30 titles 50% off on Origin

Origin is having a sale on 30 games, all of which are being sold at 50% off.

These include Crysis, Alan Wake, Bulletstorm, Mass Effect 1 & 2, Dragon Age 2, Rift, the Batmans, Dead Space 1 & 2 and some more.

I know a lot of you don't like Origin, but for peeps like me who can't get some of those titles on Steam, this is a good opportunity at some of those games and I thought I might give you a head's up.

How is the online community for Street Fighter IV Arcade? Thinking about getting it...

I don't see any sale besides the battlefield 3 shortcut deals.

Dead space isn't on sale.achilles614

Yes it is. It's 4.99 on the 11-20 section

Anyway all the games I would have wanted I already have

This sale is UK only, that's why some of you might not be able to see it.

I think what we see is Best of 2011 sales, which they offer different titles each week...

I'm happy to see EA doing this. If they want to be serious about competition with steam, they are going to have to have a lot of sales.

Either way, the consumer wins.

Very nice give Origin time guys they'll get just as good as Steam in time. Hekynn

I got BF3 for £20 on Origin a month ago and now I just got Batman Arkham City for £12... Origin isn't that bad. PC gamers are just stubborn and too nostalgic. Grey_Eyed_Elf

There is only a loud minority that dont like Origin...i was one of them untill ived try'ed it out...i have 10 games on Origin now...

I still would love to use only one interface for all my games(preferably steam)...but...no Origin is not that bad after all

I think that heavily depends on what country you're in.

For Australians, it's pretty much the worst digital store out there (even more expensive than Steam, plus we miss out on most of the sales).
So I'd hate to see the store get any larger, as it is very literally hurting gaming down here. EA wins, Australian consumers lose even more.

Just some examples - not that the price comparison is accurate, since Steam frequently has worldwide sales (Origin doesn't) and Steam doesn't restrict us from buying games on cheaper stores (Origin does):

[spoiler]
Spore + Galactic Adventures on Steam? $40
Spore + Galactic Adventures on Origin? $90
Kingdoms of Amalur Complete on Steam? $80
Kindgoms of Amalur Complete on Origin? $110
Alice on Steam? $50
Alice on Origin? $80
[/spoiler]

Not to rant on and on about it, I just find it really strange when people dismiss the very legitimate complaints that people have against EA's store.

Funny, I've never encountered a single problem with it. Batman, GTA and Bulletstorm were all fine for me.
