EDIT: The Deluxe Upgrade is now available, please check the game's addons or extra content page.
Soooooo, it's launch. And there's no mention of when the upgrade option will be available in Origin.
I always find it strange how difficult game company's like to make it for people to give them money. I have Money. EA/Bioware has something I wanna buy. Sell it already and TAKE MY MONEY!
The game is not yet released worldwide.
I am confident the upgrade pack will be available soon after this is the case.
For what it's worth, I just now finished speaking to an EA customer service rep on this subject, and I was assured that upgrade options will be made available "within the next month." It's a little bit annoying that there's going to be such a long delay, but maybe it has something to do with the worldwide release staggering, or they want a chance to get a patch in place first, or something.
Well that almost certainly rules me out for getting the deluxe edition then, I'm planning on being neck-deep in the game starting tomorrow, and unless I'm still very much playing the game when the option presents itself, I won't be buying it, I seldom revisit games I've played before, simply because there's too much other stuff to discover out there.
EA has improved from their "worst company" award a couple years back, but man, they still have that "evil and slightly inept moneysucker" thing going on, it's a shame really. I can honestly say I miss the C&C: Generals era feel of the company.
Just got off the phone with EA help desk and the guy plainly told me to return my Amazon Standard order for a refund and buy the Deluxe Game on Origin instead. It's the only way, he says.
Like Amazon is going to refund an empty game box with a used code in it...
Anyway, sure doesn't seem like the upgrade is coming in anytime soon.
'Within the next month' is pointless if I've already beaten the game.
