EA 'Summer Weekend Sale' offers a season's worth of discounts
14
Most people think summer is the time to go swimming and enjoy the bounty Mother Nature has to offer. Sure, you could do that, or you could spend your summer months as we do: sitting around in the A/C, eating cold pizza and playing some games. Thus, we present the EA Summer Weekend Sale, which slashes prices on select EA games (PC only, folks!) every weekend. Until July 18, EA is offering 50% off both Crysis and Crysis Warhead.
Gamerdeals got its hands on a list of what's supposedly going to be offered throughout the promotion -- highlights include Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Origins and Need for Speed: Shift. We've contacted EA to confirm the list and will let you know what we hear back.

@Foetoid I used to feel sorry for you foreigners. That was until I heard you complain about it for the thousandth time.

You're comment confuses me Brian lol. If i click on that link, it comes up with the Australian EA store with no sales or anything. Its BS.
Oh and Joystiq, you know what is REALLY annoying. When i am typing a comment into this little box, and the screen goes black with some half-assed ad for a Sony 3DTV. Then again, i'm actually using Firefox on a friends computer which could be the culprit. Need my Chrome back.

Clearly all foreigners are morons. Each region has their own headquarters in charge of all marketing for their region. Go write a letter to EA Europe or EA Canada. There are also several laws, licensing rights, taxes in offering promotions across boarders. Many times the special promotions are funded with marketing budget for a specific studio. That studio may be located in a certain country or feel only one area is their target demographic.

@Foetoid It legally isn't up to Joystiq where they distribute their prizes. I'm sure they would love to give prizes to other regions but it is all up to their legal department and whatnot.

Not a bad deal really, only thing I want on there would be Burnout Paradise and maybe Crysis and Crysis Warhead.
