Got mine too,Cant wait!
 
I'm sick of all this bollocks with exclusive pre-order and vendor-specific DLC, the game hasn't even released, why not just put it in the game and work on some actual DLC after the game releases, not disc locked content :gun:

I hope the beta comes out soon, that will either make or break my decision to buy this game...

Beta is coming out September.
 
Aren't pre-orders expensive??


And Like the new avatar since your last avatar was also kept by many other members so it was getting pretty common.

No, most of the time you will actually save money.

With BF3, I perordered it for £30, RRP £45, so you are going to be able to get it at release, without the extras, for ~£40-£45, so a good third extra. Companies want your custom, and so will cut their profit per item if it means they will sell more. IS the same with every preorder, at least over here it is

Battlefield 3 is GBP14 here :P

It is way cheaper over here.:D
Atleast one thing that is cheap over here. :D

I know of a company that buy games from other countries and then sell them over here much cheaper. There are quite a few that do it, but few are legit and will sell banned keys or ones already in use, however the ones I know of are 100% legit. May look there for if they have BF3 on preorder as the change in date of release puts it just after my cards expiry date, so my preorder is currently off
 
So I don't get it since,it is direct download so why can't you buy from the site I posted and then download it.
Do they have country restriction or something.

That takes me to the UK site, so I assume so. Could probably proxy it, but I should have thought they would be a little more sophisticated than that, and if found, I am sure it would probably result in my account being banned, which would be fair as it more than likely breaks the EULA
 
So you are saying I cannot buy a game and then bring it in your country??

So would they be charging Customs(Or whatever you call it there)

Or they have some different rules about internet purchases.

No, I can import games and I could get someone from another country to buy the game for me, I could even go to another country and bring the game back, but I should think using a proxy or similar from this country to get the game cheaper probably wouldn't be allowed under EA EULA.

I got BFBC2 from Australia and it says not to be sold or used outside of Aus, but they have never caught on where I got it from
 
EULA's ain't law buddy :p

I totally forgot about BC2. Still working fine online? I'd assume they don't care where you buy it as long as it's a legit copy. EULA's are just to cover their arses I suppose.

I know it isn't law, but I would rather not spend £15 to have EA take the game off me and have me spend another £35-40, when I could just spend £30 in the first place and have it work perfectly

Yes BC2 still works fine
 
I wonder why dice has not officially released the "System Requirements" for this game yet. :confused:

I’m thinking of getting another 4 GB of ram, But I doubt BF3 will have a 64bit mode though anyway, If so 4GB should be enough.
 
Im not sure if i should get my battlefield on pc, xbox, or ps3. From what i have noticed, joining multiplayer matches are easier on consoles than on the pc. when i play pc games and i join a server the server usually has some weird mod on it.

Although its probably going to look fantastic on my pc.
Any suggestions?

If you have a decent enough spec of pc then i would get it for PC as they are focusing more on the PC version and it wil be allot better.

DICE has some very welcome words for PC gamers that are Battlefield franchise fans. The upcoming Battlefield 3 for the PC will not be a watered down console port, but will instead be the best and most robust version of Battlefield 3 that takes advantage of the special and unique nature of the PC platform.

While Battlefield 3 will be released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the PC version will be the one to buy if you want the best version of the title. While the developer didn’t go into specifics, the surprising sales of Battlefield Bad Company 2 on the PC platform, along with the continued support of PC Battlefield players that are still playing the older Battlefield titles, could have had a significant impact on DICE’s decisions surrounding the PC version of Battlefield 3.
