Battlefield 3 Premium Edition Listed By Retailer, Coming Next Month

It looks like a newer version of Battlefield 3 is on the way.

[TrendyGamers]

If the price ends up being lower, it could be a good deal for anyone who hasn't picked the game up yet.

[Dante112]

I was thinking the same thing. Wonder if it'll come with the DLC packages (free with this edition)? I might just finally pickup BF3 if it does.

"Premium edition"

I would assume it would or it is stupid to even label the game the "premium edition". It will cost more than the standard edition IMO.

[TrendyGamers]

There might be tokens for the extra DLC.

[Crazyglues]

@ Date112

Premium is the DLC Packages... so if you bought this one, it's coming with the game and all the DLC for $69

-So basically if you buy this you will have everything..-The game and an activation key to be Premium and get all the DLC-

There's a lot of deals for the PC version of Premium. Too bad it doesn't work for any other.

Awesome news

[BringingTheThunder]

it makes sense

[vallencer]

Its real and its gonna be 69.99. Just ask a Gamestop its listed there.

[TrendyGamers]

I didn't see it on their website

[vallencer]

It's in the store you can reserve it. I saw it last night while i was in the store looking for things to reserve.

[doogiebear]

Website =/= store -_-

[HammadTheBeast]

They did kind of sh*t on the old players, who spent over a hundred bucks for this, and had to deal with a game that was pretty messed up about 3-4 patches ago..l

[finbars75]

Thank you for bringing that up.I posted something on MP1st about that crap.No offense but Its a complete way to shit on your fans Dice and EA.Its great news for those who havnt picked it up yet though.Good for you guys shitty for the rest of us.

[MadLad]

It's the cost of early adoption.

It's no different than buying a console on day one. You know, sometime down the road, that the thing will be slimmer, cheaper, larger storage, and will probably come with a game or two.

It's up to you whether or not you want the game now, or want to wait for a better deal to come along.

What SlapHappyJesus said.

I already have over 150 hours of BF3 time. Got BF3 release day for $40 @ Kmart, then got premium for $50. That's $20 more and I've had the game since last October. And while there were some kinks to work out, the game was still great to play pre-patch(es). I got my money's worth.

I'll be baffled if it's more than $60 though. There have been several sales for BF3 at $20, so with premium that's $70. The smart thing to do would be $50 a month before Black Ops 2 comes out.

[Statix]

No one forced you to buy the game early, and at full price. Games ALWAYS drop in price a few months after release. ALWAYS.

If you saw this coming, and predicted that there would be a Premium edition at a reduced price about a year after launch, then it's YOUR fault for not waiting the extra year.

I bought Battlefield 3 at launch, and I also bought the Premium DLC pack for $50. I don't regret doing so.

[dorron]

It was obvious, just as they did with BFBC2 Ultimate Edition. IMO, not worth re-purchasing unless it drops to 20€. Even less when they've already announced BF4.

[Lockon]

So i spend 64 dollars plus another 50...And they're now selling BF3 Premium edition for like 59.99-69.99?...

>_<

[Ducky]

Yea, but you also got to play (and hopefully enjoy) the game for nearly a year, so that's gotta be worth something right?

[Lockon]

Yeah. True.

[BringingTheThunder]

and some people paid $600 for a PS3, prices change

[Lockon]

PS3 came out like 6 years ago. BF3 has only been out for 9 1/2 months. What an amazing comparison. /s

There goes my last bubble.

[crawling182]

Great deal for new comers. Game is still great online.

[snowman2149]

If they release BF3 with All DLC later this year then what exactly is the point of releasing MOH Warfighter? lol

[BringingTheThunder]

to try to revive the series

[snowman2149]

By doing that not only do they fragment the consumers but they also fragment the online community, nice job EA.

[vallencer]

My question to you is how exactly?? All they are doing is offering a product for anyone who doesn't already have it. That's it. I bought bf3 when it came out and then i bought premium and i am in no way shape or form mad that they are doing this. It's a great idea. Oh and MOH is different than BF3 so there is still a point of releasing it.
