I think its digital stuff only. Put game in the cart, apply code.. if it works the price will become $0, then checkout.

I should of tried DA: Origins Awakening first, says its invalid now.. tried that incognito thing lol

Yeah as far as I know it's only digital games, like you said. I hope the incognito thing works for you, if not try it in a different browser, that seems to work sometimes as well.

Well it looks like the code is now dead. I guess EA finally figured it out and disabled the code. Hopefully everybody that wanted something was able to get it. I'll update this if there are any changes and the code starts working again or something, but for now it looks like it's over.

I ended up getting 7 games in all, so I'm very happy. I got Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age 2, Bulletstorm, Medal of Honor, Shift 2, Spore, and Dead Space 2. Probably the two I'm looking most forward to playing are Dead Space 2, which I haven't played before, and Bulletstorm, which I rented but never finished but I still really enjoyed it.

Sadly the code is dead now. It wont work for anybody, even if you do the log out method. I've been following it all on neogaf and everybody on there is saying it's not working for them either. I still can't believe it took them this long to kill the code, they must have given away so many games in the past 24 hours, lol. So I'm sorry you can't get Awakening, I'm glad you were able to get at least one game though.

Yeah I realized that now that I tried on my second account (Forgot I had it lol) didnt need it anyhow. Figured I'd try till it died, but either way I got a game out of it.. so thanks :P

No problem! I'm just happy I could help people on here get some free games. :D Now I just have to wait for everything to download. Thankfully most of my games are at like 80-90% done downloading, so I will be able to try them out soon.

(Own pretty much every EA game I want on PS3 already)

Spore is actually a good game, I had a blast playing it a few years back (that's why I "bought" it again!)
the amount of depth the game had surprised me.
Named my species Dharmite's (LOST inspired)

I'm curious to see how EA will deal with this free game error/bug, Hopefully they let us keep our games.
I bet this was Origin's most popular day!
A fair few people would've signed up for Origin today/yesterday because of this.

I actually ended up trying it, since it is one of the few games I can run on my non-gaming PC. The first stage was a "Wtf, why am I playing this crap?" thing.. then it opened up into a half-decent time waster. Curious how it evolved past the creature stage, if at all.

And I'm unsure how EA will handle it, cause I actually started reading neogaf about it.. and some people seem to of gotten EAs entire $20 catalog of games lol Hard to predict how a company will handle this. I wish I got to it sooner and read neogaf :lol:

EA have made a comment saying they will "honor" the games bought with the coupon-code glitch!

Thanks for the 13 free games EA!

I should think so too. Its only cost them bandwidth.

I got reminded of this
A Physicist figured out a loop hole in a supermarket reward scheme which meant if he bought enough bananas he would be getting them for free and the store would pay him money. So he bought half a tonne and earned £25 of store credit.
