Get Mass Effect 2 PC For Free With Your Purchase Of Dragon Age II

God most of you are a bunch of whiny pricks.  For a game that sucks so bad why are they saying it already sold over a million copies and did so faster than DA:O did it?  Second who cares if you have already played ME2?  If you already have it on PC use this to give it to a friend or something if you have the option.  Or if you are like me and don't own the PC version but want to check it out well here you go.

You guys do realize they could have given you, you know, nothing right?  Maybe it is just where I am from but around here "something" in general is considered better than "nothing".

That's a pretty sweet way to get as many Mass Effect 3 sales as you can.

Almost everyone will probably disagree with me, but I prefer my shooters on consoles.

Can anyone confirm the bit about having to fork over $10 for the Cerebus Network?  I just entered the activation key the EA store gave me and it took it with no questions asked.  I haven't tried to buy DLC  yet tho. 

I wasn't going to bother with all this, but after seeing people put up their codes, that seems like a good idea. All my friends that are into video games already played this, so here's my code.

Ungrateful?  Don't be daft.  It's a sales promotion, no more and no less.  EA spinning it as a 'celebratory gift' doesn't mean you guys have to be naive enough to take them at their word.It's neither good or bad - it's just a totally transparent sales promotion being pitched as something more than it actually is. "

Now who is being daft? How is it not a gift? It's great for the consumer. They get a free game. Are they supposed to say "Oh I don't know about this. I would take the free game but it may just be a ploy to make me buy future products for them so I better not download it because they're evil."

I'm not always in favor of what Bioware does for their games. The signature edition was bullshit and they milk preorder bonuses far too much but I don't see how them giving away a free game to people who supported them is anything but positive.

I'm pretty excited to have the PC version. I have in on 360 already because I didn't have a PC at the time it came out, so this is really cool. Very excited to try out mods and whatnot!

The PC version is pretty good.  You can use more powers without having to use the power wheel which pauses the game.  Seems like a good thing if you were already planning on getting ME2 from EA's site.
I imagine this is an attempt to get people to buy Dragon Age II before the price tanks.  Digital version of ME2 is already just about free so it's not like they're giving away the farm.  And if they get you to install their background downloader/updater and other EA crapware all the better (for them) - trying to get people off of Steam and using their digital distro service.

Article is very much inaccurate!  The Cerberus Network has become included in the package and is automatically given to you when you go to the redeem page again. It just has to be downloaded and patched manually.

Also let's just forget the fact that you get a FREE copy of Mass Effect 2 that's not even account locked and possible to gift to other people. I would consider this one of the best deals I've been given.

@darkjester74:

smart marketing

Eh, think I'll pass. If they'd give out a code for steam though...

They should have thrown in the major DLC like Shadow Broker and Arrival.

Buy our mediocre and slightly insulting game and get the fucking GOTY 2010 for free!


They should be giving away free copies of DA2 with sales of ME2.

I have ME2 for the PC already.  I think what I am going to do is wait and then get DA2 when EA gives it away with every copy of ME3.

If this were a Steam deal I'd probably go for it. Of course if it were a Steam deal it wouldn't have that BS extra $10 fee to get access to other stuff

Sweet, I own the 360 version but I've wanted the PC too.

dragon age II is the first game I have ever loaded onto my new rig that actually made it crash LOL!!! no thanks. 

i'm currently downloading mass effect 2 right now. i hope i enjoy this game.

I DLed mine last night. I can't believe EA is giving it away.

I have an unopened copy of DA II that I haven't opened yet and I've yet to decide whether or not I should return it.  This is making the decision harder.  

Why do people think this has anything to do with Dragon Age II?  Yes you get the game for owning a copy but what it really is is a way for them to build an install base on their digital storefront.  Valve has done the same thing, for example, with Alien Swarm last year.

Correction to your post. You do get Cerberus Network. It uses the same code as you use to download it.

Man, I wonder if they'll give out Dragon Age II for free when Mass Effect 3 comes out... dangerous precedents, EA...

It's cool that EA approved this since ME2 is one of the greatest recent games, but I must say that this sudden marketing ploy is a rather telling indicator of Dragon Age II's sales...

Just because somebody gives you something for free doesn't mean you must immediately and blindly sing the praises of said somebody.

It's not like they're handing out a shit-stained washcloth.  They're handing out a copy of what is widely considered last year's Game of the Year.  And I highly doubt EA Marketing people are going to be coming to your house to molest you in the middle of the night. "

Candy can be pretty nice. 

And you never know. They might.

Good deal indeed if you don't own them already of course still might give some people their first taste of ME2

That analogy doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. "

DAII sold over a million copies. "

Is there someone who hasn't played ME2 and would like to? I've got a free code to giveaway. Just reply to this message and I'll hook you up. First come first served.

That's an awesome deal too bad i already have it

I saw Signature Edition back up for sale on Amazon. Hm.

the whole thing with online code/pass code confused me to death. was afraid that i used it and threw it away. luckily they have that "get code" option which is what should be the default option

" @Verb4tim: Hey I would love your code if you haven't already given it away. Haven't seen anybody reply on here yet so if you're willing, PM it to me so I can finally play that damn game. "
