Default Generation problem, HELP ME! (I hate pre-ordering)
People are saying on here that if you pre-order the generations, you get a free stuff pack. Where the heck IS THIS? Is it only a US thing? Am I looking at the wrong stores (stupid best buy)? I want my stuff pack!

Well, I'm a finn and I got email from EA (in finnish ofc) about that offer so I think it is not US only.

I'm a finn, as well, and I got that offer too. It's kind a interesting to have a whole stuff pack as a gift.


ebec17... try looking from the EA Store. That's where I got the offer from.

Yeah, I assumed that people would be complaining heavily if it was a US only gift. I have a feeeeeeling that because I'm Canadian and not American that I'm going to get ripped off here. Also, does the link from the second post exclude me from free shipping or from being able to do the pre-order at all? And why does the US site have advertisement of Generations, while the Canadian one is still advertising the release of Medieval? *grumbles*

It's definitely from the EA store only because I saw it on an EA video about Generations. It's valid until the 30th IIRC.

Yep. I went and pre-ordered the Generations just a few minutes ago and now I have the Outdoor Living, as well. They gave it straightaway. It was kind a nice because I wouldn't have gotten that stuff pack otherwhise.

*gives evil eye* I can't order online for various reasons, but my mom offered to pay for Generations for helping her with some chores, so I'll just buy a stuff pack and pretend I got Generations for free with the stuff pack XD

Uh, sorry. *Runs fast and hides* This did make a little dent into my budget and I did mean to wait but the stuff pack gift tipped the scale. I couldn't pass it. So no new games after this for me untill the pets arrive.

It's okay, I was only joking with the evil eye :P
I'm glad that a lot of people get to enjoy that deal, it's just not for me I guess :P

Well, at least you get to enjoy the Generations. I value that way more than OL. OL had such a limited amount of content that I didn't even want it when it first came out and definitely wouldn't pay for it now. Of course I can understand that you would like to have it as well for free but I hope that the Generations will make up for it even a little.

This might be stupid but...

It gives two options for the pre-order: PC download and PC shipping. If I order PC shipping, will they also send Outdoor Stuff, or is it just for download? Also, will it download and work on a Mac or am I SOL and should just buy it after it comes out and forego the stuff pack? (Did that make sense?)

Woah, a free stuff pack? I'm guessing sales are really low for OLS. 'Figures. It looked really crappy.

Doesn't say free stuff pack for me. It says if you order Generations you get 20% off Late Night.

Yeah, I was kind a smiling at that, too. OL must have definitely been a real flop and they have large piles of it stored somewhere. Now they need to get rid off them.


Charity... did you look from the EA store or somewhere else? It's an EA store only offer.

Same for me. Odd. Maybe it's different for some countries?

You guys suck. You know what I got in my shopping basket? For some retarded reason, I got Generations and Late Night. >_< I don't NEED Late Night! I thought it was just some mix up and that I'd get OLS.
I didn't. I am a very sad panda.

I bought ol about half an hour before it was announced you could get it free when you preordered. I felt like kicking myself.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honor that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

But it shows Late Night in the shopping basket before you purchase so you didn't purchase it did you?

I tried ordering on EA but it wouldn't let me, I was gonna give away Outdoor Stuff if I got it. I just ended up pre-ordering on Amazon

This is certainly strange. For me, if I tried to order it again, still shows Outdoor Living. I can't think of any other reason except that maybe it really has something to do with the country you live in.
