ye, sadly codes didnt work for EU residents
Plus with games like Battlefield 3 still at £30 a year after release, Mass Effect 3 £35, Crysis 2 £25, I doubt there would be too many options of full games to grab completely free. Mainly DLC and expansions in that price range. Having said that it's good publicity that they're honouring the sales. I suppose it would be tricky if people chipped in their own money towards a game, or bought the full game in order to make use of the expansions. Good PR none the less.
Apparently you could use the voucher multiple time, so you could actually pick up a full title plus all it's DLC for nowt....
Some poor sod at EA just lost his job :(
What's funnier is that they do not seem to have a had a system in place to let them know who downloaded what, so the word from EA is that they will honour all games downloaded with the code!
You'd think this kind of thing wouldn't happen with a company like EA saying that they failed to live up to what the promised with so many other things (BF3) at least they are honoring what people Downloaded.

I didn't think that mean in one purchase though. Do it once for a DLC, clear cache and repeat for a second DLC, etc. A full title costs more than $20 so to get it for free it'd mean the same voucher being used twice on a single purchase...that would be even more ridiculous.
