Amazon ridiculously slow game download..

[RedString]

Going to take 15 hours to download BF3.. Would it be fine to download from TPB, and use my product code I received from Amazon? Should be the same thing right?

I wouldn't trust pirated software to be virus free. Just do something else tonight and play tomorrow. Think of it like free overnight shipping.

From Amazon:

Additional Info:

Requires Origin account for game activation and online play.
You may download your purchase through Your Games & Software library at Amazon.com, or redeem your product key directly through Origin and download through their service.

I was wondering this, as well.
I bought the ME/2 $12 combo a couple weeks ago, and my only option is to download them at the local library,
where it might not be possible to download 7-10GB in a day.

Not to mention, if it is possible there, I'd have to be there almost all day.

Thanks Anonymous User. I swear I'm getting like 100KBs with Amazon. Ridiculous considering how much bandwidth they have and the size of their servers.

I'll try Origin.

(I've grown to 17 hours now.. :\)

Maybe just your connection to Amazon. I've always gotten super fast downloads from Amazon.

Torrents are usually pirate-free because they are 'peer-reviewed' by all the seeders. Not that I download illegal music, tv shows or movies or anything :whiste:
