Bioware Points - Sale?

Could you please have a sale on Bioware Points for Mass Effect 3 DLC?  You can purchase the game on Amazon brand new for $5.99, yet it would cost over $50 for all of the DLC!  This is a 5 year old game, and I love it, but I can't justify spending far more than I paid for the game on DLC. I paid for From The Ashes, but I'm not going to spend $40+ for the rest.

A 50-60% off sale would bring my business, and I don't think I'm alone in that.

Thank you.

    I agree, that now would be a perfect time for such an offer/giveaway, but unfortunately I have no insight into such a decision. 


    Thanks for the feedback and hopefully there will be some sort of offer soon.

    Thanks for the feedback. The points do go on sale from time to time, but it's not common. 


    Be sure to check back on Origin from time to time.

    Well, and this is a bit self serving, how about now?  Andromeda is having its share of bad press, perhaps having a 60% off sale on Mass Effect 2/3 DLC would create a bit of good will.  A quick Google search will reveal the number of people upset about the cost of the Bioware points to purchase DLC for a 4-5 year old game.  Either lowering the cost per point, having a sale that goes for like 6months, or eliminating the Bioware Points all together and selling the DLC for $1.99/2.99 would bring additional revenue that would perhaps help with the current PR problem.

    It's "only" 8400 Bioware Points for me to unlock all DLC for both ME2 and ME3 - you must be joking! This eqals 105€, just saying. I bought the ME Trilogy recently and well... no wonder it's dirt cheap with DLC prizes like these. So, I'm not gonna play ME2 and 3 then, unless there will be massive discount on these DLC objects. I wish I had purchased it on Steam, this is one big candidate for refund!

  • Agreed! Or perhaps releasing a GOTY upgrade for each of the games, for oh say about $10 each which would include all the DLC? Like many others I'm sure, I can't justify spending $100+ for DLC on a 5+ year game that I bought for $10 off of Amazon for the entire TRILOGY! LOL!

  • I'm mad. I bought ME1, ME2 and 3 with deluxe on sale but bioware points? No. I can't belive they can't do a package with all the DLC's on a reasonable price. I got Andromeda too despite the outrage that went down. I told even everyone okay it's flawed but buy it anyway it's an enjoyable gameplay especially on sale, and there it was. So i'm gonna quote here Ashley from Eden Prime at the spaceport: (to Powell) "You greedy son of a b*tch! We are out here trying to protect your sorry @ss and all you can think about how you can rip us off?!"

    Only the ME2 DLCs under "Cerberus Network Downloads" are free to use,  the contend under "DLC:" will not get activated if you did not buy them beforehand. 

  • This isn't true because you have to sign into the cerberus network which verifies weather or not you've purchased your dlc through origin and blocks it from starting.
