I was given a birthday gift by EA
witch:
I received an email from EA saying 'Happy Birthday' and offering me a $15 discount on anything in the EA store. I checked out the EA store, there were no PC games I wanted to buy that I didn't already own. My son checked out the Playstation games. He found the new 'Need for Speed', and then we read the small print.
Postage, tax and handling to be paid by me. Then the clincher, 'offer not valid outside the United States and Canada.' WTF? SO WHY SEND IT TO ME IN NEW ZEALAND! Do they not have filters on their database? Cheers for the pressie EA.
*Ahem*
So, would anybody like a $15 'off regular price' voucher, valid in EA stores? Valid till 30 Nov. Maybe a struggling student hanging out for NL who's just $15 short? ;) PM me.
Motoki:
LOL Think they would let someone use it for the $15 Holiday addon pack. ;) If so, I'll take it if no one else beat me to it lol.
They must not like me because they didn't send me anything for my birthday this past August :'( and I'm in the US no less. :P

They've sent me invites to things before now, then when I've tried to log in I can't because of not being in the US. How come EA still ignores the rest of the world?
It also annoys me having to use oodles of disk-space just to keep all the multi-language info stored in The Sims2! why can't they make separate editions for each language? How much longer would it take? I don't NEED to be able to play my game in simplified chinese, for heavens sake!

It's not just this, either. A lot of things are repeated in every folder - original, Uni & now NL. Makes me wonder whether it would be OK to delete all this surplus stuff, or even just the language folders. Has anyone tried?

Well, it is rather handy for the aspiring multi-lingualists among us. I'm still toying with the idea of reinstalling everything in French, but that would require work . . .
I find it humourous, in a sick and twisted way, that EA is currently under the impression that all their customers are domestic. Hello? 21st century here? Any company that believes that must have recently had their brains removed with a blunt melon spoon. (Or perhaps a runcible spoon? What is a runcible spoon anyway? But I digress . . .) For a company that considers itself tech oriented, it's pretty outrageous. Every forum type site I've ever been on has had lots of people from all over. Generally Portugal, Brazil, England, France, New Zealand, Australia, and Italy, to my current knowledge. I know a site that has about half its membership from Portugal, judging from the forums.
Conclusion: EA is run by idiots! But we knew that already. ;-D
