    Free gift from EA email - legit or not?

    Did anyone else get an email from EA about playing a game to get a free gift?

    Not sure if it's a legit link.

    This is how it looks:
    looking online they seem to have done something similar last year although the link was problematic.

    Re: Free gift from EA email - legit or not?

    There is a discussion on the EA forums about this, the conclusion is that they are either having server errors or could not handle the traffic coming in, no idea.

    It also says all over the internet that a similar game/competition was run by EA last year and had the same issues.

    The site is actually up and running now but as far as i can tell its all in French, no one from EA has responded to the thread or made a post on their forums yet, it is xmas holidays after all.

    This looks legit but, i'm still doubtful.

    Doesn't work on pre-orders = major fail, the voucher also doesn't seem to work full stop.

    yah, 50% off for me too. Will have a trawl of their store tomorrow but their prices don't look too awesome even with the 50% off.

    20% off for me, but Chrome's telling me that the link is taking me to their German site with no easy oiption to translate back to English...
    The T&C link is in english though!
