Nice to see EA getting there act together as far as sales go.

Holy ballf***,those are some good games.

Major Props to EA for this

Let me recomend Sim City 4, Bad Company2, Vietnam and BF2 :D

Is this US only? Because i dont seen anything on sale..

There's not a single game that I'm interested in. Seems like a good deal though.

Times like this I wish I had a credit card :(

Those are some good deals. I like how they have amazing deals mixed up in crappy deals so its hard to tell the difference.

Eg. Burnout paradise ultimate box (all dlc and full game for 5 bucks)=amazing deal

Medal of honor hotzone (a map pack for a mediocre game for 5 bucks)= crappy deal

Is this US only? Because i dont seen anything on sale..

If you don't see it then I'd assume that it's NA only

EDIT: It is Canada and US only, it says so at the very bottom of the page I linked.

Bought BF2 for 5 dollars last week when the same sale was going on minus a few of those games. Picked up BC2 Vietnam, should be fun pairing it with my Steam BC2. I may buy Burnout, but I have to see if it has controller support. I tried TDU2 with mouse and keyboard and it felt too awkward.

How's Origin in terms of redownloading/DRM? There are a few games I'm interested in, but IIRC the EA Store was pretty awful with things like having to pay extra to redownload.

Any of those BF games have a good campaign?

An i3 with 6GB's of RAM should run it perfectly :) you might want to check up on your graphics card too. If your graphics card is also better than what's recommended, then you should be able to play this game with high settings and a good framerate.

Well, according to this page, a 4870 is better than a 5450, and a GTX 260 is slighty stronger than a 4870. If my sources are correct, then you fall short of the recommended requirements for the GPU, but only by a bit. You should still be able to run the game with good settings at a good framerate since you have way more RAM than recommended, but an i3 processor is dual-core which also falls short of the recommended specs. Overall you're just around the recommended spec mark and that's usually enough to run the game at medium-high settings with a good framerate.

Oh, but it's EA. Guess I won't be using it then.

Thanks for the info.

Command and Conquer 4 isn't even worth $5.

Great sale though.

So it only NA? Not really a good thing when you have something like Steam around.

This is what I'm thinking too, but I haven't even played a demo.

Edit: Whoops I fail at quoting. Buying bf2 :D
