EA Store is having an "early black friday" deal until November 30. A wide selection of their Digital Download (Needs EA Manager) are marked 30%. Wendy's also has a deal that sends you a $5 off coupon for the EA store upon entering their sweepstakes. According to my experience, one can get the coupon discount repeatedly. However, you have to purchase each game separately to apply the discount multiple times.
Many of the games come out to 9.99 - 30% - $5 off = around $1.96.
Go to above link and select "If you don't have a code: click here" You will then be prompted to enter your email address. Wait a minute and enter the code that's provided in your email on the initial page. Another email with your $5 off code will be sent to your mail box. This can be done multiple times.
Some are available as digital and some (like Dragon Age) are available as either digital or a physical copy sent.
Notables:
Mass Effect - 8.96 (Pinnacle Station DLC for free after coupon) Dragon Age - 30.00 Dead Space - 16.96 Mercenaries 2 - 1.96 Need for Speed Undercover - 1.96 Mirrors Edge - 8.96 Battlefield 2 - 1.96 Black and White 2 - 1.96 Medal of Honor Airborne - 1.96
Battlefield 2 for $2! If you haven't played this yet, buy it now. EA just dropped a patch recently and there's still a ton of folks playing online. An oldie but a goodie.
That's a good price for Dragon Age, also. This EA Manager software is a client that needs to run every time I want to play, or I just have to use it once as a downloader?
I am getting "digital download" client creep...what with Steam, GameStop, Direct2Drive and now this? Still, for $30...
Not sure what's going on, but Battlefield 2 is not showing available for digital download. I see the expansions available, but not the core game. Am tempted to pick up Mass Effect for $9.
One thing to consider is you can't back up your downloaded games with this. If you need to re-install the game, you have to download it all over again with the EA Manager. As good as the prices are, this rules the deal out for me. At least Steam lets you back up your game downloads.

Maybe I'd be worried about this if I was still on 56k... but any HSI why is this a problem? (other than Comcast with their 250GB limit maybe?)
