Well, couldn't it also be because people don't want multiple software to manage their games apart from disliking them?

The fact they even accept one is mind-boggling.

[robarcool]

The thing is that steam and origin are both pretty non-intrusive in the sense that they won't bother you once installed. The problem is that while origin also takes note of many computer activities, steam probably does not.

My problem is with Origins scanning everything on your PC, your keystrokes, installed/uninstalled programs, private data, credit card numbers, phone numbers, photo albums, company documents and more. These things have nothing to do with EA products/games so this is a definite intrusion of my privacy. In addition, EA has the complete right to sell whatever information they find to any third party company they see fit. That's my problem with Origin and that is why I'm boycotting it. While I disagree with DRM it hasn't stopped me from buying legitimate games, as my buyer's history with Bioware and my Steam account proves it.

Steam scans practically everything as well, and so do virus scanners and a host of other various softwares..

I can't stand when people bash Origins, while giving Steam a free pass   Here's an example of Steam scanning a folder that has nothing to do with games or anything:

I've already rejected Steam and don't use it. 

However, Steam has nothing to do with EA, ME3, or Origin.

Have the CE pre-ordered at my local GameStop...and will be taking a half-day off from work so I can pick it up when the store opens...and took the following day off because something tells me I'll be pulling an all-nighter...

I'm so addicted.

[looloolooigotsomeapples]

Haven't decided. I generally don't preorder physical copies, as they don't always arrive on release. Plus, no shipping costs with the digital version.

Yes, except the difference is that Steam has an opt out option to disable it on their client. Origin has no such feature and it forces the scan on you regardless.

Yeah, because piracy is really the reason
Shame on all the gullible idiots that swallow whatever crap the industry shove down their throat.

Since I love collecting and be able to hold the game I will buy the disc.
I also like to smell the disc because it has the smell of ...something "new."
Then it goes straight to the shelf with the rest.

Digital Deluxe for Pc and since i started on XBox, hard copy for that (collectors of course).

I only realy play on PC now, but can't bear the thought of not completing the Xbox trilogy.

[JenMaxon]

Hard copy - with EA as the publisher I want to see evidence of my legal purchase in my hand WITH a paper receipt. I've had two bad experiences with EA over them losing records of my online purchases and having to spend hours going through my own bank accounts to find the payments and reference numbers. That's two bad experiences too many. Also, I do not like the sound of Origin - I haven't read the details yet so I won't comment further.

[charredrex]

Hard Copy. I want the Collector's Edition for once.

This ....guy should check out how many Xbox games are put on the net.  It's amazing what you'll find about your favorite games.  When Mass Effect first came out it was an Xbox exclusive.  I guess that wasn't pirated...oh wait.  Xbox games are actually the first things up on any torrent site.  Kinda makes you think, right?

i wouldn't know i don't have a xbox

[IliyaMoroumetz]

Gonna wait for a discount or sale. Ever since publishers got it into their tiny little brains that it was cool to jack up the price of an already expensive hobby, I've only paid sixty dollars for a new game once and I regretted it ever since.

You've made a fair point.

Besides, if we wait a whole year we "might" get the complete pack with add-ons and such...

I'm going to go digital because I don't feel like dealing with my university's mail system. And I also don't want to have to take a bus just to pick up the game, it's much easier all around.

Hell, Origin starts scanning BEFORE you've accepted the EULA.

[bobspoland]

I think im going to be going origin now. I want it at 12.01 on the 9th of march. Hopefully you will be able to preload too. And its only £34.99 so its not too bad

[tobynator89]

I'll get it on origins.

[DJRackham]

I'm waiting for the disc. I figure that will give BioWare time to patch the game to squash the inevitable game killing bugs so prevalent in games today.

[Zippy72]

If I can get it from steam then I will. Otherwise I'll spend an afternoon reading up on Origin before making a decision.

will you be buying me3 out of the shop or online??

I am thinking i'll just be getting it online if it's going to need origin to run...whats the point of getting disc.

I won't be getting it at all if it requires Origin. DVD or Steam only for me. Not having some scumbag sell my infos and preferences to the highest bidder. EA can either sit down, or sit on it and swivel.

Both my ME1 and ME2 saves are on Steam so i want to carry my two main soldiers over. I didn't play the first two games for nothing. I sure as hell will not start afresh by re-downloading/activating them on Origin and play through again just to get to where i was.

Origin is a mess and its spyware. No thanks

Things like Origin and intrusive DRM's actually push people towards piracy. Theres nothing quite so annoying as having to fiddle around to get a legal copy working properly or having to submit to a program invading your piracy when someone who pirates it gets to enjoy the game hassle free.

As said the 360 is far worse for piracy these days. Skyrim is already out before commercial release and thats not unusual for the xbox.

I'll be getting the Collectors editions(if I decide to put up with Origin) as it's the final episode of the trilogy.

Wait a minute, are you saying that if you have the first two games on steam you can't keep your saves for ME3?

[DiebytheSword]

Ordered CE from Origin's store.
