As posted on SavyGamer yesterday , Bioware announced the following over twitter : Good news for anyone who preorders (or has preordered) #ME3 on Origin: You'll receive a free copy of Battlefield 3! They didn't say "anyone from North America who preorders", they said this was an offer for "anyone", not just the 8% of the population of planet earth that happen to live in North America. Then EA have been posting repeatedly on their Origin twitter feed that this offer would in fact only be for North Americans, and there is no such offer visible on the UK version of the Origin website. I contacted Origin email support to get them to clarify the situation, to see whether whether they were going to discriminate between their customers based on location with this arbitrary regional restriction. Here's the conversation we had: It kind of seems that they ignored the specifics of my questions doesn't it? It also contradicts other information EA have put out. Here on twitter , they said: When you receive your code for your bonus version, you can do whatever you please with it! Whereas in the email to me they said that this would not be possible. They repeat the claim that this offer is available for "everyone", not mentioning anything to do with regional availability. They also only mention the free copy of Battlefield 3 with the N7 Digital Deluxe Edition, which is nearly twice as expensive as the regular edition. Get it the fuck
