Noticed on Origin announcement I got "Enter the code 'PARADISE' to get Burnout Paradise for free. Limited time offer" Download the origin client to be eligible for this offer.

FAQ - READ ME FIRST

Q: Its not working for me?
A: Ensure you are 'purchasing' directly from the Origin client from "Store" tab and then do a search for "Burnout" and ensure you use the capitalised promo code of "PARADISE." Also, this is for UK only (and maybe ROI) from what I have seen on the web.

Q: Do I require to put in my credit card details for it to work?
A: Nope, or at least I didn't require too. Just ensure your address and number are at least convincingly real.

Q: It just keeps refreshing the page
A: If you are not entering all the information, try that first. People have had issues when not putting in their post code despite it not looking like its a mandatory section.

Q: I can only find Burnout Paradise: Ultimate Edition. Is this the same deal?
A: Yes, there is only one Burnout Paradise on Origin and that is this deal.

This still works - you HAVE TO DO IT THROUGH THE ORIGIN CLIENT not through the web site.

Awesome! Thank you.I had problems with this first off. Running Win 7 64, … Awesome! Thank you.I had problems with this first off. Running Win 7 64, I installed client, added game to basket, typed code in capitals and continued. This is where the problems started as the client screen would just go blank. Only by using forward/back page would the process continue. Finally the price was reduced to £0.00, entered address including post code, ticked box to confirm I accept terms and conditions and press the final continue................blank page and game had disappeared as if everything was complete but it wasn't as no download link.Click on my games but still no download link, so I started again. Same blank pages throughout process and after hitting last continue in the process. At that point I left it. I did however receive an email confirming order and today I logged into client and was presented with download option for Burnout! Sweeta!Does anyone know directory where the game is actually installed too and more importantly where the save game data is? Also, what happens if I need to reinstall windows, will I be able to download game again or is it possible to backup what I've already downloaded?

Game is installed by default in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games and can be changed by clicking the Gear symbol -> Settings -> Change.

Some games have cloud saves like Battlefield 3, I have no idea about Burnout as I don't want to install it on my SSD but I want Battlefield 3 on my SSD.

I would say it would be in the default location:

"C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Criterion Games\"

Otherwise just search Burnout and see what you find. It most likely won't be in the Game executables folder.

Yup I was about to post this myself, totally valid!

Didn't seem to work for me, just fancied play this too

Actually... Doesn't show up on the website (says invalid promo), you are required to use the origin client to enable this download. All seems to work well after this though.

I think all ok

Must be missing something ...

Click on store.origin.com/sto…rue then "add to basket" digital download & english. In the checkout shows up as £4.99, then in promo codes type in "PARADISE"

Comes up with "Invalid promo code". How has everyone managed to get it for "0.00". Got this last time for FREE but thought about downloading it for my son for his laptop
13th Nov 2011
Thanks for this.

theonlytazman- you need to download Origin first, and then add Burnout to your basket through using the origin program that you just installed, checkout and enter the code. It should work when you checkout through that method rather than through the website.

A tad harsh when they are giving you a game for free!

I got this years ago and I still occasionally play it now - I think it's a brilliant game.

indeed, Origin needs some work no doubt, but it took Steam a good few years to get that decent.

also, I really like the fact that I can get all my EA retail games and tie them into my origin account so get all the advantages of digital ownership as well as my retail box.

Steam needs competition and whilst I really hope M$ actually have a better showing when windows 8 drops, GFWL is currently not competition really., ( although i do hate the fact that i have to have multiple clients to get all my games)

also, I accidentally found out today that both the DLC packs for Shift2 on PC are 100% free. EA really did not have to do that, so respect there too, 5 new tracks (on a game which is already generous on that front out of the box) and 19 new cars as well as some new game modes, for not 1 penny.
(Mind you I still dislike their disabling of servers way too early, at the very least they should patch the game to allow the users to serve the games kind of like xbox live)
