Drooling Re: First Impressions

I just read here about issues with downloading the bonus content if you purchase the game via Steam or Impulse. Mandatory forum sign ups are involved?

excerpt:
EA and Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins launched yesterday, and PC gamers rejoiced at having another tactical Bioware RPG to sink their teeth into. With digital distribution platforms like Steam and Impulse becoming more popular, it's no surprise that many gamers decided to buy their copy of the game online. The problem? EA and Bioware require you to sign into their own websites, with their own accounts and login information, to allow you to access the bonus content from your purchase. That process, it seems, is broken for many users.

If you bought the game via Impulse? Your problems might be much, much worse.
I wonder if it was an EA or Bioware idea to harvest forum signups with bonus content lures. Oh, I sorry they aint forums anymore, they are "social networks".
