Thanks...I wish amazon would have it for $10 cheaper.

 

[AeonF1]

Hmm.. nice deal.

Never did a preorder through Newegg, I'm assuming the early beta won't be included unlike going through Origin instead? Guess it won't matter if I'm saving a couple bucks and beta will be forgotton in two months time anyways. Came out to $51.47 after taxes for me.

 

[JayteeBates]

Im tempted but going to hold out and hope it goes back on steam before release.

I was going to pre-order at gamestop for the Physical Warfare Pack but I don't think the extra guns are worth the extra $12. Ordered through newegg

DAO-12 Shotgun
Flash Suppressor
Type 88 LMG
Flachette Ammo

 

[LstBrunnenG]

Week before MW3
Last week Skyrim
Now BF3

I didn't pre-order Skyrim, but I have pre-ordered BF3 and MW3. Kudos to Newegg for offering a decent price. Just too bad they don't do release date shipping like Amazon.

 

[mrtheshaggy]

I hope they bring back road to jalallabad

 

[monkey_slap]

Awesome, this made up for not getting a 25% gun club email. Thanks!

 

[DuronClocker]

Hm, I didn't know about that Physical Warfare pack.. I really don't buy many retail games anymore, so for $12, that might be kinda neat

I was just thinking, how long until the "limited" editions become like their name sake? Lacking pieces/maps/etc. Hehe.

Plus, have you seen the gun list? It's massive.

Amazon wont price match the coupon price?

 

[OFaceSIG]

I'm doing Amazon purely for the release day shipping.

The physical warfare pack bonus just means it unlocks on day 1. It unlocks for everyone later on, even nonpreorders - http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/bat...k-available-to-all-battlefield-3-players.aspx

The only real exclusive for preorders is Back to Karkand, which later people will need to pay for.

Thanks, good to know. I haven't gamed since Battlefield 2. They never pulled stunts like this back then

 

[Beezzer]

Thanks for posting. I bit.

 

[tpfaff]

Do you have to pay the full price upfront?

 

[Jasonx82]

Do you have to pay the full price upfront?

yes

 

[tpfaff]

Also, when does the code expire?
Edit: Just saw this

Pre-order: Ships After 10/25/2011

I think I'll hold out for something from amazon or steam

 

[Kadath]

As of right now Battlegield is Origin only, no steam.

BF3 is not Origin only, you can get it on other digital distributors.

 

[Kadath]

OK, that may be true, but it's not currently on steam due to the 'fight' between valve and EA and even if you buy it on another service you must run it through Origin, Origin will have to be loaded and active. It's like how Steamworks games work, but for the evil empire.

Origin is required.. Why would you want to add more DRM?

 

[PnkPwrRngr]

Ugh, I bit.... my wife is going to punch me in the face come morning...

 

[Soggy]

Doesn't work for me, says promo code is invalid. looks dead

 

[Jesus_Faction]

>Sorry, the promo code EMCYTZT688 you've entered is invalid.

Yup, dead

 

[celica91st]

It doesn't charge you until it ships, so you won't get punched until Oct. 25th.

 

[dnottis]

I'd hate to be waiting 2-3 days for shipping...

Meh worth $12 for me. I'm not bleeding edge enough.

 

[mastrdrver]

I get promo dead too.

lol, he's going to forget about it until the 25th and then is going to be like wtf when she punches him.

Who cares. Steam DRM is seamless, not an annoyance like StarForce. Your digital distributor of choice is your choice unlike when the DRM is integrated into the title.

DRM for gaming is not a buzz word to instigate flaming. The seamless variants are fine and understandable. It's crap like StarForce that deserves all the bashing. Get your facts straight.

If I had known that I would've ordered it

Origin is integrated into the Title. and BF3 requires Origin.. Seem like straight facts to me.

This particular discussion is about Steam.

forum needs a tard avatar.

 

[Dion]

You're really blowing a simple question out of perspective. But if it makes you feel better and cool. Good for you.

 

[ALL4AMD]

grrrrr that pisses me off, I refuse to pay $60 for a game that does not include everything.

IMO I think the Limited edition is the best since it includes the Back to Karkand expansion pack. Anyone not pre-ordering the limited edition will be forced to pay $10-15 for this pack. The Physical Warfare Pack on the other hand will eventually be unlocked for everyone, for free.

I'd rather see a BF3 LE pre-order/release day price of $40 w/o the need for origin or at lest the option to integrate it into steam. Oh how times have changed.

 

[RagingSamster]

discovered that Battlefield 3 on PC will have no in-game server browser, players will have to browse servers using a web-browser based solution, and restart the game every time they need to swap or rejoin servers.

Is this true? - Someone posted it on FB, (if so I will sadly pass this one by)

 

[Dosobye]

I was in alpha and that is true, the server browser is web based, but it worked pretty good

 

[jebo_4jc]

so, this requres a login to Origin to play?

so if it did come to steam, we would need to do the double login game ala Ubisoft or GFWL games? Super annoying.
