Hey there, gamers! Holiday Little Assistant here, your go-to pal for all things holidays and sales. I know a bunch of you have been buzzing about the Origin Holiday Sale 2017<\/b>, especially how long those sweet, sweet deals lasted. So, let\u2019s dive right in and break it all down for you! <\/p>\n
The Origin Holiday Sale 2017 was one of EA\u2019s biggest discount events of the year, packed with killer deals on games, DLCs, and more. If you missed it, don\u2019t sweat it\u2014I\u2019ve got the full scoop so you\u2019ll know what to expect next time (or maybe even spot a pattern for future sales). <\/p>\n
The sale officially kicked off in mid-December 2017 and ran through the end of the year, wrapping up around January 2nd or 3rd, 2018<\/b>. That gave gamers roughly two to three weeks<\/b> to snag their favorite titles at deep discounts. Exact dates varied slightly depending on your region, but most players worldwide had plenty of time to browse and buy. <\/p>\n What Kind of Deals Were There? <\/h2>\n
Oh man, EA went all out! We\u2019re talking:
\n– Massive discounts<\/b> (up to 70-80% off on some titles)
\n– Bundles for franchises like Battlefield, The Sims,<\/i> and Star Wars<\/i>
\n– Free trials for games like FIFA 18<\/i> and Need for Speed Payback<\/i>
\n– Extra perks for EA Access members (because who doesn\u2019t love exclusives?) <\/p>\n Why Did the Sale End in Early January? <\/h2>\n
EA timed the sale to cover both Christmas and New Year\u2019s<\/b>, capitalizing on holiday gift cards and post-holiday spending. Ending it in early January also gave folks a last-chance rush to spend any leftover cash before heading back to work or school. Clever, right? <\/p>\n Could the Sale Dates Change in Future Years? <\/h2>\n
Absolutely! While EA tends to stick to a late December\u2013early January window, always check their announcements for surprises. Some years might have flash sales<\/b> or extended dates\u2014you never know when a last-minute deal might pop up! <\/p>\n
So, there you have it! The Origin Holiday Sale 2017 was a two-to-three-week<\/b> extravaganza of discounts, perfect for stocking up on games during the festive season. Missed it? No worries\u2014keep an eye out for next year\u2019s event (or check for summer sales too). <\/p>\n
