    Can I download a game that I bought a physical copy of?

    I've lost my Battlefield 2 discs and was wondering if I could download it through Origin since I have to login with my e-mail. EA makes you use your EA account e-mail for everything, so I figured they'd have some kind of record that I owned (or at least activated a CD key) the game in the past.

    @Lukeweizer:

    Games released before 2007 cannot be added into origin. You might try Customer Service, but I seriously doubt you'll get anything out of them. Sorry to tell you that, man.

    @Lukeweizer: It worked for me with my 5 year old copy of Battlefield 2, If you have the code go to setting>>redeem product code. It worked also for all the EA games I bought on Steam, including Bad Company 2, Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

    From what I've seen, contacting customer service is the last thing I'd ever want to do. Ever.

    Code is in the box, which I can't find.
