This week only, Origin slashes prices on 200 games

Electronic Arts has started an 'Origin Player Appreciation Sale' this week, slashing prices on 200 games by up to 70 percent.
The sale will go until March 26 at 10:00am PT and will include Origin's entire spectrum including PC/Mac games and titles for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and Wii U.

For example, newer games like Dead Space 3 and Crysis 3 are down to $30, for all platforms they are available on.

Mass Effect 3 has been cut to $10, Hitman Absolution is $12 and the award-winning The Walking Dead series (all episodes) are $10.

Its a shame that Origin dont love its EU players as much as its US players. We only get upto 50% off, Mass Effect 3, Hitman Absolution and Dead Space 3 are all 25euro($32) each.

I guess if i ever feel the desire to buy an origin game i will just go to a reliable CD-Key website that still beats all of the origin prices.

up to 70 percent off and converting from US dollars to EU dollars 30 to 32 is expected it changes everyday.

Hmmph, I don't know why you guys should complain or fuss there's absolutely NO sale in Australia as per usual.

At least not in the PlayStation Store, the only thing I can find in the list above is the season pass to The Walking Dead Series which claims it's on sale for $21.95... everything else is full price..... raspberries :P

You know, our AUS $ is worth more than the USA $.
