+1 ty kindly :) game is now working properly.

My Bulletstorm key worked in Origin so it should be fine. Try https://activate.ea.com/activategame.do if it's giving you problems. Mercenaries 2 must be activated using that site too.

I have bought PopCap collection (which includes all their games) last year from Popcap.com but they just give me same order number to activate games, no cdkeys at all. I wonder anyone know if we could activate games we bought from Popcap.com on Origin?

@GoJays2025: Thx u very much; i lost all hope with EA customer rep when they always refuse activate my Bulletstorm. When read your post, i have just dig in Amazon acc and copy paste the code to Origin and it works like a charm xD.
Ouch, next few weeks are very busy, no time to play it; moreover, my mobo seems retired (can't boot) after i OC Phenom 2 720 to 3.2Ghz with stock HSFand stress test 24/24. Need some test to make sure it completely dead.

I checked Cheapassgamer, they must've done this fairly recently. They wouldn't help me back in February, but now the key works on Origin. :)

What is the advantage of registering the games on Origin?

the main one for me is that you can always download it again whenever you want to (f.ex. changing computers), just log into your account and off you go.

Do you need Origin when you start the game? Like Steam?

Yeah at least EA does that right. The games tied to your account, not your hardware, with some games being the exception, like Crysis I think still has a activation limit (of 50 they say), but I cannot confirm this, my Origin catalog is not that big, yet.

depends on the game, I think, same as with steam.

Depends on game. For older no, for new ones yes

Nope; at least with me when i play NFS Carbon and Battlefield 2 ( I still don't try much).

/ps:Sr OT: This new EA deal on Amazon is really tempting; but i just need Merc 2 so i will pay by PP $ for the code if anyone dont want this game and u get rest of bundle as usual ( i have plenty Steam Games code too if u want)
My top wishlist is NFS ProStreet, just want get it as soon as cheap enough before EA don't want sell it anymore

I'm only interested in The Saboteur from that promo .
