Includes downloads of: Bulletstorm, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, Mirror's Edge, The Sabateur
No mention of being US only that I saw. 1st review says 3 of the 5 codes can be redeemed on Origin.
Good deal, thanks for posting :)
Unfortunately, during checkout I get "Game Downloads are only available to US customers". Same goes for the app store and music and video store.
Oh well! :)

That's a pity. I have a hard copy of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, but its damaged and wont install anymore so would have loved to replace it with a digital version. It's an excellent shooter on the lines of a wartorn GTA game with some of the environment destructible..
The rest of the games mentioned are also great games, each with its own perculiarities. Mirrors edge is a superb parkour like game, burnout paradice a nice looking online racing game, The Sabotour has a weird graphic, where unexplored areas of the game are in a monochromatic black/grey/white. Only when you've explored an area and killed the Germans in it will color return. I've not played this for a couple of years now. must return to it soon. Bulletstorm is a futuristic shooter with gorgeous graphics.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames:

The Game:
If there really isn’t any such thing as bad publicity then Mercenaries 2 is already doing superbly. It certainly already has its fair share of infamy, after being denounced by the Venezuelan government as propaganda for the U.S. Army and even dragging Bono (who part owns developer Pandemic) into a row over its probity. Mind you North Korea weren’t too keen about the first game either and that turned out all right.
The reason poor Bono’s name has been dragged into the dirt is that the game’s plot revolves around a U.S. led invasion of Venezuela after a dictator takes control in a coup. It’s pretty hard to get offended about a game as gleefully silly as this though as its interests are clearly not politics but simply blowing things up as creatively as possible. As before you’re dropped into the war zone and free to ply your mercenary trade with whomever you want. However, this time you’re in charge of your own PMC (Private Military Company) and get to set up your own base and recruit your own soldiers.
Mirrors Edge:

The Game:
In a city where information is heavily monitored, agile couriers called Runners transport sensitive data away from prying eyes. In this seemingly utopian paradise, a crime has been committed, your sister has been framed and now you are being hunted. You are a Runner called Faith — and this innovative first-person action-adventure is your story.
Mirror's Edge™ delivers you straight into the shoes of this unique heroine as she traverses the vertigo-inducing cityscape, engaging in intense combat and fast paced chases. With a never before seen sense of movement and perspective, you will be drawn into Faith's world. A world that is visceral, immediate, and very dangerous.
Live or die? Soar or plummet? One thing is certain, in this city you will learn how to run. From the makers of the groundbreaking Battlefield franchise, Mirror's Edge is an action-adventure experience unlike any other.
Features::
1) ... Move yourself: String together an amazing arsenal of wall-runs, leaps, vaults and more, in fluid, acrobatic movements that turns every level of the urban environment to your advantage and salvation.
2) ... Immerse yourself: In first person every breath, every collision, every impact is acutely felt. Heights create real vertigo, movements flow naturally, collisions and bullet impacts create genuine fear and adrenaline.
3) ... Challenge yourself: Fight or flight. Your speed and agility allow you not only to evade, capture and perform daring escapes, but also to disable and disarm unwary opponents, in a mix of chase, puzzles, strategy and intense combat.
4) ... Free yourself: Runner vision allows you to see the city as they do. See the flow. Rooftops become pathways and conduits, opportunities and escape routes. The flow is what keeps you running — what keeps you alive.
The Saboteur:

The Game:
The player is able to explore Nazi-occupied Paris, some of the French countryside and parts of Germany. Color is a key element in the gameplay. Areas which are heavily controlled by the Nazis are represented in black and white, with the exception of the irises of characters' eyes, city lights, blood and blue symbols of the French Resistance, and various German symbols, which are bright red and complete with swastikas. In order to make that district colored ("inspired") again, players must weaken the German forces occupying the area. In doing so, that district's citizens regain their hope, visually represented by making the area vibrant and full of color. This also affects gameplay; in black and white areas, German soldiers are present in large numbers, making it far more likely that Sean will be detected in his rebellious activities.
In colored areas, the Germans will not be completely evicted, however they will no longer be so ubiquitous, and will primarily be centered around military bases, barracks, police stations, HQs, and other strategically important sites. In addition, the French people will play an active role in the struggle for colored zones. For example, if Sean gets into a fight with German soldiers in a coloured area, allies like the French Resistance, the Maquis, and even French passersby will intervene against the occupiers.
Throughout the game, players will upgrade their character in the form of "Perks". These will improve accuracy, ammo counts, damage, abilities and more. Perks are gained through actions, such as evading high-level alarms, sniping targets or demolishing a set number of German installations or vehicles with a certain requirement. The player also has the ability to scale buildings and run across rooftops, where sometimes British supply boxes can be found, or to reach a good sniper's view of the ground beneath. Garages are available to the player, which can save parked vehicles and repair damaged ones. The player can also engage in fist-fights or use a more stealthy approach, such as sneaking around or using a Nazi's uniform as a disguise.
Should the player die while free-roaming, Sean will lose all of his weapons and grenades he had equipped prior to death. The player can buy weapons, ammunition, explosives, maps and other items from several black market merchants. Once Sean has purchased a weapon, he can equip himself with that weapon at any time.

If Amazon will let you purchase, this is from a new review up yesterday, so it might work if downloads like this one at softonic are current full version. http://mercenaries-2-world-in-flames.en.softonic.com/
Solid value @ $10, October 1, 2012

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Storming, Burning, Reflecting, Flaming, Sabotaging Pack [Download] (Software Download)
First off, all of the games will now activate on Origin. You may have to contact customer support to manually activate Mercenaries 2, but the rest should be simple enough to input the code.
OTOH Amazon UK has apparently the on-disc version of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames for £0.83, or you might try repairing the disc you've got... there's all sorts of info using Google/Bing, including this somewhat drastic method http://www.instructables.com/id/Extreme-CD-Repair/?ALLSTEPS

I purchased a dis repair outfir that included a weird looking object that polishes the scratches off the surface. That didn't fix the proble. I'll have to check out amazon. Second hand copies tend to be dirt cheap. though i would prefer a digital copy. No room for more disc based games. Having to store most of my discs in cupboards now as there's no room on the shelves.
Thanks for the updte. :)
