Is it 4 purchases and you get a voucher? To me it sounds like you buy anything you get 20$.

Sorry but LOL.
1+1+1+1=4 or in this case 40% – Sounds like something Tesco would do with one of their ‘Price drops’ Stand alone price £2.50 or 2 for a fiver.

Long way to go EA before you can even dream of having a real sale like Steam. 1 game with 75% off – Total War: Shogun 2, even at £8 was still way over priced.

For all your vitriolic righteousness GrimRita, you’re not very bright, are you.

You get 40% off of each game (or the total amount, it’s the same discount). Four lots of 10% on individual titles doesn’t add up to 40% of the total cost.

Just in case you still don’t get it, here’s an example, assuming each game is worth £10:

10% of 1 game (£10) is £1

10% of of 4 games (£40) is £4

40% of 4 games (£40) is £16.

So essentially, buy 1 game, save £1 off each. By 4 games, save £4 off each. Get it?

This another one of their frequent US only promotions?
