FINALLY Origins Ultimate edition on sale, REALLY wanted to play this on my new computer after finishing it on 360, and especially now with my new gtx580.
Dragon Age 2 25% off is tempting too, no matter how much people shit on it :/
I assume both Crysis for a silly price like in the xmas sale will be one of the days, a Command & Conquer day I assume (might pick up c&c3 and kane's wrath to complete my set on pc depending on price), what else is there from EA for the rest of the days?
Oh Mass Effect course... hmm might be tempted to double dip on those too depending on price

EA Week on Steam starts off with Dragon Age franchise on sale
If I had money I would be all over this puppy. DA:A and ME2 would almost certainly get bought.
Does the front page look goosed for anybody else? It has the typical layout, but with the DA theme mapped around it. Looks ridiculous...
" Dragon Age, Crysis, and Mass Effect...that's only 3 days, we need 4 more days...so what else does EA have? "Bulletstorm at 50% would be god like (to be fair it would basically just match the price of any online retailer) but it would probably only get 25% off like DA2 since its too recent.
Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 are almost a certainty, maybe a Dead Space / DS2 day, Crysis and Warhead day almost for sure... maybe a Spore day?
Battlefield BC2 probably too
really been wanting to play a acing game the last few weeks... hot pursuit is still full price, and it would probably only get a 25% deal like DA2, but shift is 19.99 base now, put 50% or even 75% on that puppy and i might get it jsut to fuck around a bit (although i like my racers arcade style :/)
also double dipping on ME and ME2 for sure, since i have them on 360 and i wanna play them again eventually, and i'd like to do it on smething that wont melt on me :( Also, i hear ME1 on PC is alot better than 360 because of lack of bugs
why would you get origins if ultimate is the same price (at least here in europe)" Origins for 15 $ is an awesome deal! Even without the expansion its a bunch load of content. "
Ultimate has Origins, Awakening (the expansion) and all 9 pieces of DLC btw for those that dont know, its a hell of a deal

There's Origins + Awakening for $60 though, lol. Kinda funny when you can buy each of them individually for $15 each.
50 bucks USD isn't a great price for DA2 (you can get a physical copy in store for less than that even in Australia), but DA: Ultimate at half the price and much more content is both better game and value.
If I had to guess we'll see a C&C, Mass Effect, Crysis, Dead Space, Battlefield, and one of their racing franchises (Burnout?) for the rest of the week.
Holy shit Dragon Age 2 is less than half the price that I bought it for on play.com not two months ago. That game really dropped fast in price. Not complaining though, it was worth €50 IMO.
Oh, this again :( I think I've run out of EA games that I want. I've already bought Dead Spaces, Mass Effects, Cryses (well, not 2...) and Mirror's Edge. Nooooooo.
And, it's probably too early for a good Crysis 2 or Darkspore sale.
Maybe I should pick up the Battlefield games?

" @BeachThunder said:I don't play multiplayer either :( I just have compulsions to buy stuff during Steam sales D: We'll see what the prices are, if BC2 is cheap I'll go for it. Not sure what else I can buy, really - I have no interest in sports games or Sims stuff." Oh, this again :( I think I've run out of EA games that I want.

Steam is now a destination network. Some times people will buy multiple copies of a game just so they can enjoy the convenience of having them all in one place like Steam. I bought Crysis and GTA IV twice (once in physical form and once on Steam) for that very reason. I gave the physical copies away. So in this case, while DA2 isn't particularly cheap at this price, many other Steam sales games will be and thus people might still buy this DA2 sales priced version just because they already own so many other games on Steam. Steam sales are like any other sales anywhere, items will only be as cheap as suppliers allow them to be - unless the retailer is going out of business. Blame EA in this case." So 25% off and still almost twice as much as you can buy a physical copy for. Steam sales are the best zomg!1 "
" So 25% off and still almost twice as much as you can buy a physical copy for. Steam sales are the best zomg!1 "i know you were being sarcastic, but in case you werent, Steam (well Valve) has no power over game prices, or sales. Its all from the publishers, and that IS the retail price of DA2, even if most/all stores are selling it for a lot less, probably to clear stock

" @SeriouslyNow said:actually you were right dude, it finished shortly after. Was a pain to get all the DLC to actually work (known issue aparently) but its all good now... it looks so much better than the 360 version, its not even funny.

" @Rhaknar said:Glad I was right, for your sake. Yeah the PC version never included a hide helmet option. You can get around that with the " No Helmet Hack" - a mod available from DragonAgeNexus." @SeriouslyNow said:actually you were right dude, it finished shortly after.
