Free Game From EA’s Origin!

It’s tough to stay excited about the excellent Dishonored or an upcoming Call of Duty when your wallet won’t stop sighing to ruin the mood. If only some superhero would descend from the heavens and fling us a free game to stay engaged…

…Wait, what the heck is the money-hungry EA doing here?

Through an apparently very under-the-radar promotion, one sub-$20 downloadable PC title may be picked up for the low, low price of nothing at all via EA’s Origin distribution service. Simply stroll on into the this-is-definitely-not-Steam Origin store, find something special priced at $19.99 or below, add it to your cart, and punch in promo code OS3874XVC to redeem your free prize!

Note that this code only seems to jive for North American audiences, and not all games in this price range work. Still, we’ve seen success with the following list of titles:

Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2142
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Bulletstorm
Burnout Paradise
Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Crysis
Crysis Warhead
Dead Space
Dead Space 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening
Dragon Age II
FIFA 12
Mass Effect 2
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Mirror’s Edge
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
Need For Speed Shift II: Unleashed
The Saboteur
Shank
Sim City 4
Spore
Individual results are inconsistent across different accounts, but anything’s worth a shot for the potential promise of a free game, right?

It worked for me.

Damn let me get in on this before EA takes it down or something

It won't work for me.

Not sure what game to get. Spore any good?

Worked for me. Can you only get one game?

Nah, you can get as many as you want.

this is only for pc, huh

Yea, PC downloads

Wow the Origin store !!ing sucks compared to Steam. Slow as !!.

Yea man just trying to buy a game is nervewrecking lol. When they were doing that $10 for Battlefield 3 promotion I was dying at how long it took.

Didn't work the second time though.

What game did you try it on?

Just did this with SimCity Socities so you can definitely do it with more then one game. Shame you can't do this with DLC though.
