The page kept redirecting to a 404 page, so I added all the urls to the quote above.
Along with the base game, Ultimate Collection gives access to the game's eight expansion packs: University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, FreeTime, and Apartment Life. I assume the co-branded "Stuff Packs" such as the H&M and Ikea packs are not included in the Ultimate Collection, though I haven't verified it for myself. The offer expires at the end of the month (July 31).
EA also has a second promotion running at the moment: Log in to the Origin client and you can snag a copy of Peggle for free, too.
