These are digital downloads.

For the risk of sounding thick. Do they also operate a download client and can I delete the game and re-download it later again like Steam?

Good deal, though I'd definitely rather have the physical media, most of those games can be got second hand for not too much more.

Nice find.

I'd much rather have this deal on steam.

Mass Effect for £4.99 is a steal.

Yes, they do.

These are good deals. Unlike to do something like this though?

Robert1986 · 10 Oct 2009 at 13:55

EA consider Mercenaries 2 a classic?

ha.

I'd like to know this also, I'm tempted to get dead space... Are there any download limits?

If it's the usual EA policy, don't expect to go back and DL the game in a year

great deals, but on the worst software ever - EA Download Manager is ****.

I already own two games on EA-DM, but hardly ever play them do to restrictive DRM locking me out of my own games. After EA putting many of their games on Steam for UK customers, this is obviously an attempt to get more people using EA-DM. Hopefully, EA will one day redesign their distribution platform to make it easier, more functional and more accesible.

Duouk2000 · 10 Oct 2009 at 14:20

Burnout Paradise is tempting, are there install limits? Does the EA download manager have to always be installed/running?

dirtydog · 10 Oct 2009 at 14:20

Can you backup your downloaded games so you don't have to pay again to download them in future?

chaparral · 10 Oct 2009 at 14:22

Can you pay by paypal ???

dirtydog · 10 Oct 2009 at 14:23

Hmm, wiki says

Download limitations

Users are given one year from the time of purchase to download a game. This period can be extended by five years, via the Extended Download Service, by paying a $6 US fee.[6] This is unlike most other digital distribution platforms which allow users to re-download their purchases in the future without limitations. There currently is no option for you to make a personal backup of the downloaded software. This means that after one year if you need to reinstall the software/game that you must repay the full price. Some users have questioned the legality of such a practice.

I am tempted by Burnout Paradise as well.

I thought with that particular game, anybody can download the whole thing for free anyway because the demo contains the full game doesn't it? All that happens when you buy it, is you get a code to turn off the time limit?

chaparral · 10 Oct 2009 at 14:26

Do these games install like normal retail bought games or are they like steam games that are ran from a single folder ??

Duouk2000 · 10 Oct 2009 at 14:28

That's true. On the game's page it says-

If you have downloaded the Try & Buy Demo you do not need to re download the full game through the EA Download Manager. Simply add the game to your basket - make the purchase and then enter the unlock code that we send in your order confirmation email straight into the Demo.

So I guess you don't need the download manager for that particular game? Since all your buying is a code that you enter in the demo. The only possible issue would be activation limits which I can deal with for a fiver.

chaparral · 10 Oct 2009 at 14:28

Anyone else having problems with not being able to open the EA link in the OP post ??

Duouk2000 · 10 Oct 2009 at 14:29

It's working fine for me.

dirtydog · 10 Oct 2009 at 14:37

I've ordered Burnout Paradise then, seems rude not to for a fiver. I guess I'll find out if I can still play it in future

£3.74 actually

although I have to say the EA store is a pile of poo, 1 year download is ridiculous.
