Apologies if this has been posted already.

With a coupon code, you can purchase Awakening at the EA Store for $19.99.  Code is PAXEAST842.  Seems like it was supposed to only be valid on purchases over $40, but I just tried it and it worked.  Awakening might be worth $19.99, but there was no way I was paying $39.99.

Free shipping on boxed copies too.

That's a more reasonable price for the content imo.

[Leon Elsa]

Oh how cool. Thank you for sharing, now some people might want to buy this expansion.

[Artisian]

....I just bought this crap for like £25.



Well, its far from cap... but SERIOUSLY MY GOD.

[worksa8]

I feel a lil' ripped off now XD

[Euteras]

Thanks. I just ordered it for $20. Thats more like it for an expansion. No way was I going to pay $40 for it. Took a lot of willpower to hold off. I think I saw ME2 for $30 too. I just have no interest in that game.

[Warkwright]

Damn! enjoy the unearned extra 20 buckaroos there bioware. This stinks of the same thing atari had pulled over there with STO.

[Rive Caedo]

I was specifically waiting for a deal like this (it was hard to justify spending over $100 on Bioware games within a month

[Karma Crimzin]

[edit]

Ugh, I actually bought this TWICE on release day, one PC one 360. Which would be okay if I had played them already, but I'm only about an hour into each.(I hate school...) Wish I'd waited now!

[London_Liche]

So, if the digital download is purchased, can it be downloaded more than once? Say, for instance, my PS3 dies out at some point, or I have to make some space on the hard drive. Can the game be downloaded again at a later date? If so, it would be nice not to have to wait for it to be shipped to me. If not, I'll stick with the boxed version for sure. Does anyone know?

[London_Liche]

Well, I've looked into it, and it turns out that you have 1 year to download your digital copy of Awakening if purchased from the EA store. Although I would love to download it over night and have it ready to install tomorrow, I am acutely aware that PS3's and 360's can, and do fail. That means that if your console fails, and it has been over a year since you made your purchase, you will be out of luck and you will no longer own this game (or any other you've downloaded over a year ago from the EA Store ).. This is just one more reason that a physical product remains superior to a digital download. I'll wait the 3-5 days for my order to arrive. Oh yes, and shipping was, indeed, free.

Not to start a console war, but this is a reason why consoles aren't particulalrly suited for digital downloads, not that digital downloads are inferior.

[Spitz6860]

question, if i get the digital copy where do i find my registration code? i need it to register Awakening on the Bioware social site.

edit: nvm, i just got an e-mail with the information i need

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about. What is said on the EA store goes for pc, not consoles. Or does it say consoles specifically?

I can only speak for the Xbox 360, but everything you buy from the Xbox Live Marketplace (that's where you buy dlc for the 360, not the EA store or any other store) is connected to your gamertag (i.e. user profile). You can re-download everything you purchase as many times as you like for as long as the product is still available on the Marketplace. Except for some old Xbox Live Arcade titles I haven't heard anything about MS removing anything yet. I very much doubt that what the EA store says is valid for anything else than the pc. I don't see them removing Awakening from the Xbox Marketplace in one year either.

But sure, eventually MS will end the 360 support. But that's not specifically related to Awakening and I'm positive it will take longer than one year.

Also, buying digital downloads for pc is also a risk, not that it's that big perhaps. But if the company you buy from goes out of business I bet you won't be able to download your products anymore. Or perhaps one day they decide the product is so old they won't support it any longer? Sure CDs/DVDs won't last forever either, but I guess you can keep them for a couple of decades if you handle them well. Retail is the way to go.

I'm pretty sure this is a PC only offer.

[DrMoebius]

direct2drive allows you to download your purchased games as much as you want and whenever you want.. plus no extra DRM... they only require that you activate the software.

Well, I couldn't find any concrete info on the EA Store website.  I checked around and they just didn't seem to have a direct answer to the question of whether downloads would expire or not.  However, I did a google search and that led me to wikipedia.   Please check the section labeled as 'criticism'.  Now, if this does not apply to consoles, I would glady stand corrected.  Does anyone know?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EA_Store

Oh, and btw, this is NOT a PC only promotion.  I ordered it for my PS3 and the code works normally.

[label90125]

The promo code appears to no longer work. I'd be happy to pay $20 for the content, but there's no way I can possibly justify $40 for an expansion pack unless it was almost the same size as the game.

Edit: I take it back, the code still works. I must have fat fingered it before.
