Buy ME3 on Origin, Get BF3 Free

Mass Effect 3 marketing has officially hit a fever pitch, with a beta in full swing, pre-order bonuses galore and trailer after trailer making its way to the web. But EA has at least one more surprise up its sleeve, this one aimed squarely at PC gamers.

If you pre-order Mass Effect 3 any time before March 6 (the game’s release date), you’ll automatically receive a free copy of Battlefield 3. The catch? You have to pre-order Mass Effect through EA’s Origin download service.

Let’s weigh the pros and cons: Battlefield 3 is a great game, and picking it up for free would be a nice bonus for any fan of first-person shooters. And, hey, you’re going to buy Mass Effect 3 anyway. However, Origin is a hornet’s nest of problems, with notably terrible customer service. If you think this pre-order bonus is going to run smoothly, you’re out of your mind.

So, you’re risking the potential nightmare of Origin’s customer service hell for the sake of landing a free game. If you’re going to play Mass Effect 3 on PC, it’s probably the best way to go, even with Origin’s obvious faults.

What do you think? Is the promise of a free game enough to send you to Origin?
