Damm steam doesnt have battlefield 3

Its an Origin only title unfortunately, I soooooo wish it wasnt as Origin is utter......well, there is no word to describe Origin, not that I can type on here anyway. The word sounds a little like ship.

Best thing to do, just get BF3 as its an awesome game, in a couple years time (hopefully less than that) BF3 comes available on Steam, buy it as it will probably be cheap by then, uninstall Origin and send EA an email telling them they suck...which they know they are already.
 
Don't get the issues people have with Origin. Doesn't match Steam by any standards in terms of features but it does the job. Stick in CD/input key. Game appears on the game list. Download/install. Done. It tells you if there is an update for Origin, and updates your games as well. Past that, I don't even interact with it, barely notice it's there.
 
isnt it the fact that origin is scanning your entire hd thats annoying people?
after reading the reviews on amaz its really put me off buying the game and that sale price is really tempting!

AFAIK, Origin doesn't gather any more information than what Steam gathers. (Lots of people seem to think Origin/EA are reading emails and word docs.

As has been mentioned here. I don't really have an issue with it. Had a few bugs with BF 3- then again had a few with Steam recently too.

@silversurfer, If you call EA, they should be able to part refund you £10 provided you can prove you have a £10 voucher.
Know a few people who have done it before when vouchers never worked. .

Ie: Call support to make sure they will do it. Get a case ID. Place order, call support. Ask for part refund- give case ID. job done.

Avoid webchat.. they are dreadful :p

Not really. Because it just doesn't, hasn't, and won't scan your entire hard drive.

It's just Chinese whispers that have changed from what is actually mentioned in the EULA to what people are going round posting on forums and reviews.

I remember something similar happenned in 2010-11 (ish) when Blizzard changed their EULA. Was talk all over the forums of reading chats to provide in-game advertisements etc.
