As more and more games are on Origin, and more importantly, they are not on Steam, or at least some DLC are not available on Steam, I think its time to discuss about Origin. For those who are new to Origin.
Link: Origin Store --> Malaysian saw it in SGD as oppose as MYR or USD. Origin Client Download List of games can be activate on origin client (Posted by Alex82) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « To see Origin Store currency in USD, disable your browser javascript, and it will show it in USD.

When it comes to updating the game, Origin sucks so bad.
But I still love Origin, if compared to Steam. My personal opinion though. |

Things are alot more expensive in Origin compare to Steam because lack of discount compare to steam. I think the few advantages are that it is a EA dedicated shop with some exclusive DLCs and its usage of Singapore Dollar instead of USD.
I wish they have a voice chat system in the origin client though :/ |

Play with friends, it's always fun. LOL
Btw, not really like Origin tho. If you want discount, go Amazon. Recently got CnC4 and ME2 for $5 each. Also Darkspore for $13 Believe me when I say this, EA don't promise. They can scrape Origin anytime they want since it's still Beta. They use the platform to test market. Given choices, I'll rather put my money in Gabe's pocket than EA. |

Because as it is now, I have a shitload of games on Steam and if Gabe decides to do a Kotick, I've just lost nearly 600 USD in games. |
