For those still waiting for Steam’s Summer Sale in order to grab some recent Triple-A game deals – especially titles published by EA – you should probably check out EA/Origin’s Anniversary Sale. triple-A titles such as Crysis 3, BF3 Premium and Dead Space 3 are available for only $16 (after coupon GFDJUL20)
Update: Origin’s sale is now over and Steam’s Summer Sale is now live (started July 11 at 10AM Pacific). If you’re looking for more solid Origin deals, check out Gamefly’s EA/Origin Sale where hot titles like Crysis 3, BF3 Premium and Dead Space 3 is available for only $16 (after coupon GFDJUL20).
Origin launched the large sale at 10AM Pacific, titling it “Games That Gamers Love”. Those crazy cats at EA/Origin always bring “clever” to a new level, but despite its lame name, the sale provides several solid discounts. Battlefield 3 is only $5, and the PC versions of Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3 are only $20 apiece – both at their lowest prices ever.
Unlike a Steam sale, not all deals are PC oriented, so console gamers gets thrown a bone too. Any console games priced $25 and up have free shipping as an added bonus. One decent console deal is Need for Speed Most Wanted for $28 on the PS3 and 360.
