Gosh it looks like the game after it downloaded installed too! I don't like that.

Hang on.

So if you already have a copy of ME2 sitting on the comp and you redeem your code just for the hell of getting a backup copy to put on a seperate HD [I happen to have the Collector's edition], then that means you can't download what's already there on the machine.

Which in other words I wasted a code....?

Or can I download onto another machine using the same code?

[skyrend]

Nvm.

Out of curiosity, what do those of us with ME2 for the PC do with the code? Can we gift it to someone other than ourselves?

same question here, if we can gift out this free copy, it's still a good offer

It was posted earlier (and probably lost in the depths of the thread
now) that its okay to pass the code on if you dont want it(obviously
it'll only work once!)  You just need to fill out the form far enough
to get the ME2 code, then pass that to your friend to put into their
EADM.

Yup, you can DL as many times as you want once its registered to your EA account.

Quick question: If I gift to a friend, do they get access to the Cerberus Network under their EA account?

yo when is bf3 coming out?

Q4 this year, not sure on the month. But we get New York, planes, tanks, realtime radiocity 32 on 32 multiplayer, knock back from explosions, you can drag fallen teammates to saftey, updated destruction and they recorded the sound at a live ammo training session with the Swedish military. Oh lawdy, I'm begining to perspire.

Thank you!  

The FAQ states that "Cerberus Network is included and will be entitled to the account used to redeem your Dragon Age II Online Pass."  If you are right, this part of the FAQ is misleading.

Your code was useless to you no matter what (unless for some reason you wanted to create a second EA/BSN account and redeem it with that).  The PC CE just comes with the non-game extras and gives you access to some DLC.  The game itself, as installed from the disc, is no different from any other version of ME2, and all EA games on PC, once registered, give you access to a free digital copy.  I.e., you could've had a digital copy the entire time.  All you needed to do was uninstall the game, then fetch the digital version with the EA Download Manager. 

But yes: since you could have passed that code on, you wasted it.

[TomNickles]

This is an awesome thing! Too bad I bought all the DLC on the 360, thats where I own ME2. I wonder if I can use that on my pc as well?

[sssfreak]

Another Idea (and one that I'd much prefer) is to offer a discount to purchase ME3 when released for people who own DA2 as a thank you/we are sorry if you were disappointed type present.

[Hulk Hsieh]

This is really a good idea.
The weakness of ME series is that people who haven't played ME2 isn't likely to plan ME3.
So for ME3's sake, Bioware need to enlarge ME2 player base, even by giving away free copies.

[nettokun]

i truly think that i wasted money on ME2 collector edition....and i lost more today..
as i told my friend this news, they say they would like to have that free copy....as they don't have ME2..
i should have give them a try...as i already got ME2, but i just registrate the copy to my EA account....
sigh, i should have share it..

[Cody211282]

So nice to know that since I'm part of their core fanbase that pre-ordered both ME2 and DA2, that after the slap in the face DA2 was to DA:O fans I now get the ball kick of being punished for already owning the good game they are giving away to cover their ass because of the bad one.


Screw that with a rusty railroad tie.

[Maegorod]

Gave the code to a friend of mine who I also introduced to Dragon Age, my friend says: "Thank ye Bioware!"

[valex-jedi]

I  <3  BioWare ! But  I've bought ME2 as soon as it was out, so no luck for me

[valex-jedi]

i've no friends who might use it
for those of you who might need it - 6HU4-VKM2-BJH2-8U5E-EEEV is my code

[LexXxich]

So, you can give away the code for the game itself, but what about Cerberus Network? Is it automatically registered to initial owner of DA2? Or can it be given away too?

[Wonderllama4]

I've played all the console Bioware games. It would be cool to get Baldur's Gate instead. I've always wanted to try that

I have heard that the person getting the code gets access to the Cerberus Network, but I have my doubts.  The FAQ indicates that Cerberus Network is tied to the Black Emporium account, and the screen showed Cerberus Network activated or something similar when getting the ME2 code with my Black Emporium code.

A few more inputs from others would be appreciated.

I own Mass Effect 2 on Steam, can this code be given to a friend? I know someone who will be happy to have it.

Yes. You can give "your" code to a friend and then they follow the redemption process.

Happy happy joy joy   =)    have a girlfriend who has shown interest in computer games but never really tried them before. We played DA2 together last evening. I keep forgetting how little she knows about computer games. For example. In the early part of the game there is a box outside of lothering, I had mage Hawke so no way of picking the lock.

Me: damn! We've got no rouge.
Friend: what's a rouge?

Jupp, she knows nothing about fantasy games. We ended up having a really fun time, I did the combat, she took control of Hawke during transport and conversations. But a free ME2 will be perfect. She can get a feel for computer games without cashing out too much, then later on I can show her DA:O and DA2 again    =)   she's saving for a computer now. Hope she'll like it because it would be so much fun to have a girl to talk games with. So far it's only hubby and the guys I know.

Thanks bioware   =)
