    I'm voting this positive, since a freebie's a freebie, but be warned: this deal requires you to install the notorious EA Download Manager. Google it for more information on the numerous problems people have had with it. If after researching it, you still feel the free game is worth having to deal with EADM, that's cool. I just want to make sure people understand what they're installing.

    • Will the game still work if I uninstall EA Download Manager after I download the 4.7 GB?

      • +1

        Yep, I just tested it and it looks like it does.

        Downloaded all the content and installed it. Then ran the game via the start menu shortcut rather than the download manager. It did needed to be connected to the net to activate itself initially, but it's running fine now offline.

        Thanks to the OP for the freebie.

        • Thanks for confirming!

    • Thanks for the explanation :D

  • EADM is really buggy. If anything it should be labelled as a Beta, because 3 times out of 10 it refuses to let me launch Bad Company 2, and would sometimes refuse to log me in. Frustration to the max.

  • Nice one. Thanks. :)

  • Trying it now. Just so people know this pack appears to include Sims 2 as well. Thanks for the freeby :)

    • +2

      I think that's why the description says 'This edition includes The Sims 2 + 2 Expansion/Addon packs.' ;)

      • +1

        Haha I fail at reading. I red the other bit but not that haha.

        Also, another thing to add. I tried it out and it works fine. Took 2 hours to download but oh well. I killed 2 people in my family in the first 5 minutes though and the other got sent to the orphanage. That's why you need a phone :) haha

  • Is the installation restricted to the PC that you used to download the game? I downloaded it from my laptop, but is planning to install it on my main desktop PC later, since my laptop is grossly underpowered to run any game.

    • you have to go find where it stores the installer files which is in the cache.

      Drag ALL the files onto a USB or External HD and off you go~~

  • subscribing. I'll have to come back to this. This is a huge download. :p

  • Is it me, or this doesn't work?
    Cant sign in, or activate the product. Am i missing something? I have an account and the activation code but both don't work.

    • Ok I've finished downloading but now my activation code that I got from the email isn't working… what's going on guys?

  • good find but wish it was available on the mac

  • What's on the bonus DVD?

  • Very nice.

  • Yeah I can go with this. I'll play it while I'm at work. Ha!

    EADM is awful, I bought a bc2 digital key online and their downloader simply would not work in windows 7 x64. The guys ar Razor1911 helped me out though and with my legit key away i went. Same will go for sims 2 if you cant get their DM to work.

    • I haven't downloaded it yet. I just checked out and i'll get it when I feel like it lol.

  • Thanks for the deal.

  • I'm receiving this error message:

    "The checkout process is not currently available. Please try again later."

    Edit: I tried again 10 minutes later and it worked. Sims is downloading now.

    • If you're using windows, use the taks scheduler to start the EA download manager. That's what I did ;)

  • Gone.
