So I'm sitting here, humbly trying to order Northern Strike while munching on a fine protein bar and drinking some skim milk. Good stuff, that skim milk. Anyways, I put in my Billing information accurately, the credit info down verbatim. Yet I encounter an obstacle no man has faced before from EA: hitting the Continue button causes the page to reload WITH THE EXACT SAME information. Alas, it appears I cannot continue as this button so blatantly lied about. And so, EA doesn't seem to want my money!

Seriously though, how the fuck do I give these pigs $10 so I get Northern Strike? I've never hd a problem with Link or Downloader till now.

I feel very very stupid.

I was putting in my card's expiration date incorrectly. It'd be nice if it said "ERROR: INCORRECT DATE".

Will you scrubs stop. If millions of people pay over 30 bucks a month to play WoW, somehow I don't see 10 dollars hurting you.

What? I wasn't complaining about the price, I was complaining about what I thought was shoddy programming with EA Link. Turns out it was my own fault, though it'd be nice if EA Link worked like, well, every other website on earth and said what the fuck the problem was.

ya me neither cuz the only thing that looks like it's really worth it is the unlocks (well the vehicles too but 2 vehicles are not worth $10, shouldve been added in a patch) which you can already get as field upgrades in vanilla Battlefield 2142

I have also encountered the problem with the continue button, look at how you're supposed to pay, EA link didn't want to accept my payment information. I went through my information again, then the button worked.

What?! You do realize that takes extra time and effort, and in the end appeases the customer right?

EA doesn't do such things. They're agains the whole 'appeasement' thing.

Oddly enough, the exact same thing is happening to me right now, but I know its all in right, because no error message pops up. I put things in wrong to get a error message, but when everything seems OK, nothing happens and the page just gets reloaded, after pressing "continue".

In other words, I can't buy it either.

EA was wrong to assume you had common sense.
