Quick question about Origin

[Naruke Alpha]

So i want to play the Mass Effect trilogy, and i was thinking if i could borrow the instalation disk of the 3 differents games, and buy the trilogy gamecode, would it work? 

 

let me try to be clear

 

Borrow my friend mass effect, mass effect 2 and mass effect 3 separate installation disk

 

buy the origin ME trilogy pack (online pass code) 

 

^Would that work??? D: i don't want to have to go through shipping and waiting D: ( and my internet is 100kp/s download and 50kp/s up, so downloading 30 gb is out of the question for me D':

I doubt this will work. If it's bought through origin, you usually have to download it through origin. The files are stored in different locations than the install disk.

I'm don't think it would work, I think the trilogy is 3 in 1 game rather then just a package with all 3 for the price of whatever.

Edit if your friend have better connection then you could take your PC over and download there

could i take a laptop, download the files at college to a laptop, put the hdd in my desktop,and copy the installation files to my desktop?

yep that you could do, I've moved origin games from drive to drive before. There is a trick to it though. Before you move your game over to you're desktop, start and then immediately pause a download of the game you're copying over. Then copy the game into the folder origin created when you started the download, overwrite all files. when the copy is done, resume the download. You will see origin go instantly from downloading to installing your game. Presto! your done. Bit of a pain in the a** but it works.
