About the NZ , AU only sales, I dont remember EA doing such sales ever. It'll probably roll out like NZ releases and show up in yours store whenever NZ releases are supposed to show up (except maybe US, as EA does have different pricing strategies for the US and Intl versions). I really am hoping to see the sale in UK at 12 AM UK time. Fingers crossed :D

Just out of curiousity, where is the '75' coming from? Is this just a partial list? Or are there 75 games that are going to be on sale? Not even sure EA has that many on the iOS.

go to itunes. type 'electronic arts' in the search bar and hit enter.
Just did this and came up with around 87 games. But some of those were lite free versions. I'm anxious to see what will be excluded from this. Unfortunately, I have most of the EA games I'd want except a few of the newer ones. I'll be watching!
Edit: just realized I was searching on my iPod Touch so the iPad versions did not come up. Probably is well over 75 paid apps including those.

Today brings back memories from the iPhone 4 release day in the App Store when Gameloft, EA, and pretty much any other developer went bananas on sales. And of course, how can you forget about the recent Black Friday sales?

All these games from most of the big compaines are gonna be on sale around Christmas anyway, EA just trying to get ahead a bit. Wish Namco and Gameloft would do the same early.

Actually, I think EA is trying to help keep their games afloat in the ranks even with all these new releases which could easily knock them down. Hence the sale the same day as a massive release day. PLUS next week the app store freezes so whatever games are in the ranks at the end of this week get prime time spots for the holiday shoppers to see. :rolleyes:

Got exactly these three (for iPad). Seems Dragon's Lair is also on sale, but not Dragon's Lair HD. Kick-ass sale nonetheless.

Incredible sale. What's amazing about it though is there's not much I'm that interested in. There's just too many other titles coming out tonight and, even at $.99, I don't think I'm buying anything.
Already had Madden 11 (son bought it so I got to download it too). Have Mirror's Edge from a previous sale. Got all three Need for Speed games (pissed about Hot Pursuit going to $.99 though -- but, again, my son got it so it's his money that was wasted). Not really into the Sims, even though it's a great buy. Only thing I might have been interested in was Rock Band and it's not part of the sale!
Oh well, I'll move onto the biggies of the evening...even if they are substantially more than $.99.

With all the posts I didn't see this one and had bought sim city iPad literally 2 hours ago. Ea rarely puts stuff on sale that fast and never this cheap. Makes no sense and really kinda does piss me off. They didn't know when they released Sim City a day ago they would do this?
awp69
12-15-2010, 10:40 PM
Okay. I lied. Getting BF:BC2 (although I don't know if that's technically part of the sale).

Do wonder how long this sale will last. There are a few I'm on the fence about, like Pictureka!, but all the things I'm looking at are usually only $1.99 or so to begin with.
Tonight's big games are hitting the wallet so I gotta draw the line somewhere (even if it is only a few bucks).
iPad users are really making a killing on this sale. Feel sorry for those who previously bought things like Sim City for iPad. With the premium developers are putting on iPad games, $.99 is incredible for some of these games.

I'm one of those unhappy guys. I bought simcity yesterday for my iPad. But i picked some of the other Games today that are on sale. But i still think it was a bad move from ea to put a game on sale, which has been released 24 hours ago. There will be a lot of upset customers, according to the incoming reviews of simcity in the AppStore.

I am not letting this once in a life time opportunity go to waste I have bought most of the great games from EA.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 $0.99
Madden NFL 11 $0.99
Fifa 11 $0.99
Wolfinstein RPG $0.99
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit $0.99
I am going to enjoy these games for a long time. I will also get Nova 2, Dungeon Defenders, Aralon, Shadow Guardian, and Real Racing 2 when it goes on sale, because right now I can't afford these with those high price. :P Also have a nice Christmas everyone!!! :)
andsoitgoes
12-17-2010, 04:06 AM
I may not even play some of the games I purchased, but for that price... I just couldn't say no. And Madden's vintage mode? HELL YES.
Albeit I suck at it and know squat about football... meh, still. It used to be $13!! That's enough for me ;)
I just wish EA had a few more iPad games. Or that Monopoly was on sale. But damn, how can I argue? I suck at Sim City, but I enjoy it for a few hours before I get decimated and go into enough debt to kill a horse.
This was an insane week for my credit card. Goo, Pocket God, the PopOut books for my kids... That $25 gift card went about 2 minutes after I entered it in... yipes.
But how can I argue? Really? This is good stuff. Even if I don't play it endlessly... even if I only play it for 20 minutes... $.99!!!
(hint, eveyone - if you're in the US, find a good address in Oregon, no tax! And if you're in Canada, Alberta has the lowest sales tax :D Sure it may only be 10% less, but it's still less!

Is Command and Conquer For iPad any good? A lot of the reviews say it crashes, is buggy, etc.
That's what I was wondering. I liked it on the iPhone, but would prefer it on the iPad. I was tempted, but ever since it came out the reviews have been pretty harsh. If it was just a few I could chalk it up to people just being picky, but it seems like the majority of people have the same problems.
At 99 cents you're not out too much if it's buggy, but it just seems like it's a given that I will experience problems with it and it's not worth it.

I was just curious if anyone could recommend some of the iPhone titles that might work well on my iPad. Sometimes it doesn't make a huge difference, but other times it just looks awful.
Any suggestions?

I bought a whole slew of EA games, only iPad versions though.
I do wish their games were integrated with Game Center. It would be nice to have the leaderboards and achievements along with maybe even online play. I'm hoping that they decide to add that feature sometime soon.

I'm there with you. I've been heming and hawing about NBA Elite. I haven't played a good NBA game in forever...

crap. I just bought Yahtzee and NFS: HP
So far, I've bought:
iPad
Sim City
Reckless Racing
Madden
Mirror's Edge
Boggle
Yahtzee
NFS Shift
NFS HP
Adding those to my release day purchases of World of Goo and Pocket God as well as the sale prices for the 2 PopOut books released and a sale price for the Beatrix Potter collection? damn! Oh and stupid star wars falcon gunner, too... Grr.
But comparing the purchase price of the EA games to their RETAIL prices, well... It's just not even possible to consider them in the same zip code.
I'll tell you, I have a history of not necessiarly being on the up-and-up when it comes to "purchasing" games, but with my video games... it's a different thing. And when they put sales like this on, they can easily change someone who may have been considered slightly unscrupulous in the past to someone who is willing to lay down some money.
I could have gotten something like Goo in an "alternate" way, but I really believe in the devs on the system, and the fact that they get 70% of my purchase? That's one area that I'm impressed with Apple..
Anyway, I'm done with my rant. Thank you EA and other developers for allowing people who wouldn't necessarily have the cash to buy them at retail put out the bling for them now...
I get the feeling EA games are going to skyrocket a WHOLE lot of top lists in the app store :)

NBA elite 11 is quite fun, especially the three point shot mini game. Definitely wroth a buck.

How's FIFA 10? Mainly the Be a Pro mode?
Should I get X2 Soccer 2010 instead for the Dream Mode? ($1.99 sale right now)

Looks like these EA games knocked Angry Birds right off it's perch. First time in a long time looking at the top ten and not seeing Angry Birds #1 and 2 on the top charts.

Rage HD and Infinity Blade, and some other games have done it before. Angry Birds is cheap, playable by all ages, even appeal to women. It's not going to go down that perch easily...
EA has however basically taken over the chart for the few days.

What are some great but hidden gems in terms of multiplayer games? Forget MC2 or the Other multiplayer staples.

In my store they end get both full top 10 for ipad (first) and then iphone. I wonder if that was a deliberate tactic against the bunch of mega release at same time.

I guess you should getting Fifa 11 instead , the price is 0.99 , i dont see any reason why you are eyeing Fifa 10 unless you are collector.

I have the game, tried the online, yes its over wifi, and thought it was horrible. Took me like five minutes to get into a game, and the host didn't even start the game!!! really pissed me off.
So I didn't really play any multiplayer.
I just quit the game and went to MC: BP multiplayer.
Much more enjoyable and got into playing in under 30 seconds :)
