Anywhere that sells Bioware points on the cheap? Tried G2A but either they are the same price or no one is actually selling them

Nope.  Never.  Doesn't happen.  Period.

@Nwalmenil;  That's not a sale on BioWare Points.  That's a (probably illegal, but rarely prosecuted) way to take advantage of regional marketing agreements and exchange rate differences.  (Not to mention accepting the the security risks of using various off-shore VPNs with sketchy-to-outright-criminal track records.)

I know it's not a sale but it might be one of the few ways to get the points a bit cheaper and the topic wasn't locked either so I figured it might be of interest. Not saying LeonShepard13 should or shouldn't use it, that's his/her own decision, just wanted to share the info since there was a thread about it here on the forums.

I'm in the same boat lol So do Bioware,Origins, or even Amazon have sales on these points? I only need two more Dlc to complete my DA2 rebuy, and after spending what I had to get it, i'm not gonna spend 20 extra. This game came out in 13 lmao

They did have a sale a couple times this year where you could get points cheaper but right now it's just the VPN trick

^One thing that I find annoying is that most of the DLC for whatever title (Mass Effect, Dragon Age) gets bundled into an Ultimate Edition, and usually the Ultimate Edition is cheaper than the cost of DLCs for those that already had the normal version of the games.  Of course you could buy the Ultimate Edition and have two copies of the main game, but the lack of price drops on DLC, or a discounted DLC bundle is sort of dumb, IMO.

I already own Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition, I'm asking about points for DA2, as my research has shown me retail stores didn't wanna hold a DA2 Ultimate/Deluxe Edition cause on how poorly the game did.( Thanks alot EA for that one )
