Yeah, it is actually really funny that EA seems to love Europe

Hmm, in the case of the two games that pique my interest (Dragon Age: Origins and Game of Thrones RPG), this Origin sale looks like a case of trying to lock you in to the Origin version in the hopes that you'll want to buy the DLC at some point. If all of the DLC is really, really not worth it in either of these cases, please let me know.

DA:O I found all the quest DLC except the one set in the deep roads to be worth it. And the deep roads one was still pretty decent, it was just... well... the deep roads. The item DLC not so much, but all of that is free these days anyway.

SSZ is getting two kidney punchings at the moment--one for being an average-ish game, and another for release and pre-release discounts, which translates to a majority of its backers paying more for the game than the slimy general public (that's you, I think).
I paid $15, so I have no bitter feelings, but I suspect this won't be the last time Kickstarter pricing and release-sale pricing merge badly, which I tend to think is pretty damaging for the future of games funding on Kickstarter. Paying less--or at least not more--now for something you receive much later is pretty widely understood to be fair, which is why it's so prevalent in indie funding.
Anyway, I just installed, so I'll be back with some impressions.
Also, The Secret World for $10 on Origin. I don't want it now, but good, good. Soon.
Not in the UK
Thank God, otherwise I'd have to buy it
It does indeed seems to be an Estados Unidos deal; €30 here in what I imagine is Origin's "Euro"-store.

I grabbed SSZ discounted earlier in the week after watching a few of the previews on it. It looks a bit "meh", but it still looked fun. I am downloading now, I'll give an opinion after I get a chance to try it (apparently the demo for the new Metal Gear also came out, so I am right now killing time while my PS3 grabs and installs it).

Tonight's IndieGameStand deal is highly likely to be The Oil Blue.
I liked that, the music is very good as well.

I think this was mentioned a while back, but Amazon has the THQ Mega Pack on sale for $25 USD here: http://www.amazon.com/THQ-Mega-Pack-.../dp/B00B1GFKCA
It Includes (all steam keys):
CoH
CoH - Tales of Valor
Darksiders 2
Darksiders
Homefront
MX vs ATX Reflex
Metro 2033
Nexuiz
Red Faction: Guerrilla
Red Faction: Armageddon
Saints Row 2
Saints Row 3
Supreme Commander
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance
Titan Quest Gold
Warhammer 40k: DoW Gold
Warhammer 40k: DoW 2 Gold
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine
Warhammer 40k: Retribution
As best I can tell this is the cheapest place to get Darksiders 2 on the internet atm; and probably worth it for anyone interested in those games as theres a good chance some of them could be disappearing soon (Titans Quest, Darksiders, and Red Faction haven't been bought aparently). That said, does anyone know when this deal is expected to end?
Ed: Theres potentially two copys of SupCom, as a comment suggests you get SupCom 1 when you register SupCom: FA on Steam.

This really is a cracking deal, i'm very tempted to snap it up with it's still available.
I would agree with this. DA:O has some pretty good DLC packs that are worth the price of admission. They don't hold a candle to Fallout New Vegas: Dead Money, but I don't think anything comes close to being that awesome.
Thanks for the info on Dragon Age - I won't be buying it from Origin, so. I don't own anything with them yet, and I'm not keen on getting locked in to their ecosystem.

As is usual, no sale on for Australia, half the games not available to purchase and prices 2x-3x more expensive for those that are. It's like EA doesn't want to sell games here.
Like every MMO, The Secret World has its own ecosystem so you can buy it from Origin without any worries if you were interested in it.
If you want to get The Secret World cheap in Europe, you can try this address: http://store.origin.com/store/ea/en_...38900/ccSet.us
I entered a US billing address, payed via paypal and the order went through. Doesn't seem to work for everybody though.
the dlc for got is entirely forgettable, and the da:o stuff is fine. it's not great but it's somewhat enjoyable.
of note, though, gamersgate and amazon usually have really good sales on da:o complete. i got da:o complete + da2 complete (the non-origin versions) for $10 recently via gg.
Bioware's made it possible to grab all the promotional DLC/content for the DA games here.
