Either expired or only for US/CAN users

I jumped on this yesterday - it would be surprising if only for North America (previous Origin free game offers were for everywhere BUT North America). It's only the second free game offer I've ever jumped on from Origin.

^ does it let you access it from origin itself?

The normal website wouldn't work for me (us), but it works in origin client browser.

thanks for letting us know about this :D Gonna check it out.

I'll try ti through the client, Thanks for the tip

I jumped on this yesterday - it would be surprising if only for North America (previous Origin free game offers were for everywhere BUT North America). It's only the second free game offer I've ever jumped on from Origin.

Perhaps I am thinking of deals/specials which are usually US/CAN only.

While I am here:

Amazon Prototype pack: $9.99

Steam keys if you select Steam DRM

  • Prototype
  • Prototype 2
  • Prototype 2: Radnet DLC Pack

Anyone from the US willing to buy this for me if I Paypal them the money? I can't buy digital download games on Amazon from Canada.

I found this on Slickdeals

GreenManGaming.com has Hitman Absolution: Professional Edition Pre-Order (PC Digital Download) for $44.99 - 35% off voucher code GMG35-FGR37-COY0B = $29.25. Thanks Genocidal

Note: Game activates on Steam. Game will be released on 11/20/12

Battlefield 3 is $12 right now (for today only).

Seems like another US exclusive deal. It seems to be $24.99 for those of us here in Aus. I don't know how online retailers justify these price discrepancies for digital content.

Right now at GamersGate you can get Mount & Blade: Warband for $9.98 (50% off). (The entire series is on-sale, but this one is the only one really worth picking up.)

I highly recommend this game. The mods for it are outstanding as well.

Also want to mention, this game has a pretty steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it you will have a blast. (If medieval fighting and conquering the world allures you.)

Humble THQ Bundle: 1$ minimum for 6 THQ games plus a varying value (5.63 as of this posting) for Saint's Row the Third: http://www.humblebundle.com/.

Yes - you can access AND download it via Origin (that is how i did it) - the deal is ongoing.

    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
