50% off EA games at origin.com! Need for speed most wanted $33 SHIPPED!

Thought this deal belongs here as need for speed most wanted only came out a month ago and is now on sale for $33 shipped!

Just some notes because the title is a little misleading.

It's 40% off of select EA games @ Origin.com and 50% off of Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
Also, its $33 shipped if you order a physical copy. The PC download is sitting at a cool $24.99 Just nice to mention that. (You'll want to mention what platforms it's available on in the title).

You can also include criteria for free shipping:

Origin.com is the worst company ever to buy from online. They sent me a coupon for my birthday for 50% off a game. I tried to use it the day of my birthday (it was good for up to a month after my birthday) and it said the coupon was invalid. I spoke with support and they offered a 10% coupon which is a big difference from the 50% off I had. They then said I had to work with Level 2 support and it could be a few days before I hear from them. Over a week later I still hadn't heard and called them and I spoke to someone who said they would escalate the issue. 2 weeks went by without any contact. I called again and again was told Level 2 had to call me back. Well they never called me and instead I received an email stating that my ticket had been resolved and was closed. Worst customer service experience I have had with an online retailer.

This sounds about right for EA. It is unfortunate that they devour talented gaming studios, forcing you into financially supporting EA and their shenanigans for sequels to games you've enjoyed in the past.
