Why the hell does everyone hate Origin so much? I have it installed, it runs fine for me, no hiccups or anything, I have played games on it fine and it does not detract from my gaming experience at all. Please someone explain why everyone has this rediculous grudge against the program. Does anyone remember what Steam was like the first year it was out? Compared to that, Origin is a breeze, and it is still an infant, only coming out a few months ago, give it a break people.
Like me, many people also have Steam alredy installed and thanks to their awesome cheap sales and having more than a bunch of games on it, thus making it uninteresting to use yet another Steam like client for only a "few" games. Also, its been rather buggy or so i've heard, but then again, so was Steam when it was released. Back then however, a client like steam was very new and not tried before so its not all that suprising.
I've had Steam a few years now and it works brilliantly, the sales are awesome and i have about 300 games on it, so thats my reason atleast why i will never touch Origin.
Boxed. I hate Origin because Steam is so much better. I have the computer to run both no problem, I just don't want to and think it's kind of a dick move on EA's part.
Boxed CE from amazon. I will still be able to download the game 5 days early And after playing BF3 I hate origin.

I pre-ordered a physical copy because I refuse to use Origin. Plus, the box extras seem cooler than the digital extras.
Ahh yes the feared "Origin", scourge of the internets! Thank god that they are the only digital provider of games out there. I would hate to see the STEAM erupt from you guys ears at the IMPULSE of having to buy your games on-line!
Let me guess, you are all wrapped up the misunderstood ToS aren't you?
Actually, I refuse to use Origin because EA made all new EA games Origin exclusive and refused to keep selling digital copies on Steam. I thought that was bullshit, I already have so many games on Steam, I refuse to split my game library like that. As soon as EA stops this pathetic "digital only on Origin" bullshit they've lost my business.

Actualy they dont refuse it, they refuse to play by steams rules , and many many other game developers are not going to ever release games on steam deu to the bussiness side of things, in this case EA made its own service (and works just fine) and they are already getting games on it from non-ea developers.
I lost my steam account twice, firsttime they made a mistake and never gave me my games back (they had a db error) 2nd time I reformated my pc but steam had Steamguard turned on , so when i tried to reinstall it said F**U. even knowing all my personal info(duh), the bank acount I payed the games whit, my username, my password I can not reinstall under the old account due to them refusing turn the damn thing off in their db. total loss. -+ 600 euro.
These days I just make steam accounts of every single game I have to pay on steam, and if possible I try to avoid that fine program but awfull company buying non-steam versions.
Point is, its all just a personal experience / view thing. some like Apple, some like PC, some like Orange or Banana's..
Nooo! The 'didn't buy' crowd is losing! We need more cautious people (or people without a group of friends playing) to step up and save us from a loss! We must be #1 group! Free trial players unite!
Physical Box copies are still polling higher... I'm kind of surprised by this. Do you think this is in any reflected in actual sales?
I think if you polled separately, you'd find most of those box copies are from CE versions, hence why it appears higher as it wasn't offered digitally.
On a side note, I bought 3 copies as presents this holiday season, all digital download as its easy to buy for friends who live far away digitally then buying a box, wrapping it, and shipping it.

This. I buy digital nowadays. But the physical stuff is DEFINITELY worth it IMO. But had the CE been unavailable I would have bought Digital Deluxe prior to even considering the boxed regular. It also doesn't help that the nearest gamestore is now populated by morons who don't actually PLAY video games (and that equal opportunity token girl). Best Buy and Walmart have become fall backs because I CERTAINLY won't shop at the gamestore anymore. Why pay retail when I can go to Target, Amazon, ToysRUs and save (on average) 10 bucks.
Wow i dont get teh guy who got on here just to down tor. By saying its not a game i like. This is a discussion about what kinda game u pre ordered or digital. Its not a tor love or hate post.
I also dont get the fear or origin. Half the damn websites not to mention facebook use spyware alot worse then origins. That said facebook actually sells personal info whereas origin will only sell data. They dont sell anything thats personal just data related to what there customers buy and play.
So while most websites u buy from and facebook actually sell personal info origin only sells the data that states 20 pct of our customers play this or buy this not anything personal but if u ask people its worse then anything they have ever seen.
I did the digital for 2 reasons one i dont have space for boxes and since i couldnt afford the ce digital works fine. and 2 this way i dont have to go pick it up anywhere.
Oh and for all the origin haters out there. just for the record origin has nothing to do with tor. Other then they sell it.
To download it for digital or pre acess u do so through www.swtor.com not origin u use the tor client not an origin client and to patch this game after launch u dont need origin so the origin hate with buying digital makes not sense anyways.
CE off of Amazon. I wanted the box with all the trimmings. Sad thing is.....if other games are any indication...all the digital exclusive stuff like the VIP vendor, pets,mount etc will likely be available in a cash shop of sorts on BIOWARE's website at some point. Probably sooner than later.

I dont know about that. My CE of ME2 had items still not available on 360. Those items were included with the PS3 version, but have yet to see them offered as DLC for 360.
I believe all the exclusives from DA2 are available though.
Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget.
I can feel your anger. This game is defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike this game down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards towards the Dark Side will be complete.

Boxed CE version here!
Biggest deal breaker for me is that the CE is not available as a digital download. :P

Actually, I wanted the physical swag as well as the digital. I.e. Authenticator, soundtrack, book, etc.

1, I never preorder a game, I buy from whoever is offering it the cheapest on the day.
2, I never buy digital for new games only old ones I can get from Steam at a fraction of the price., I like the hard copy box, and disc.
3, SW:toR isnt a game that I would play.
Boxed CE from GameStop. I'll go pick it up upon release. Wanted all the extra stuff and can't get that in a digital order.

I prefer digital downloads. For me it is mostly about what ingame items I can get.
I have not ordered, but I am in the beta this weekend, if all goes well, I will be ordering the digital version myself.
box cause my hd going bad and if i dont get new one befor it comes out dont want to download it 2 times.
