How much are people paying on Origin? £39.99?

WOW if they are paying £39.99 they all deserve to play it early.

Bah ordered it again due to deific saying that the pre order bonus would end shortly

on GMG even though I haven't got my money from the previous failed attempt back yet and every thing went fine this time, so pre dll now.

Although just going to wait until officially released.

I ordered it from Origin months ago for £29.99, I knew that Origin would have a way to play it early, just like we did with BC2 on EA downloader.

Tune · 25 Oct 2011 at 00:57

Mine is getting sent now for play.com, can't wait

ANY QUESTIONS YOU WANT TO ASK EA LIVE SUPPORT BEFORE I END THE CONVERSATION?
I've asked about the e-mails, and the unlocking just for extra clarification. I will end the conversation in one minute if nobody has any extra questions.

why do people have 13mbs and 6mbps download speeds and I have 260kbs. I'm on O2 for christ sake, my internet is supposed to be good! Not exactly in a totally rural area either, a fairly built up bunch of towns.

Tingle, confirm release is 25th for UK

edit: oh you asked that

Also just done a speedtest and it's around 2MBPS!!!!! What's going on there, it used to be 11! O2 are getting a call tomorrow morning

LOL yeah I save 50p, but I want a hard copy of this game, so I won't jump on the download band wagon for BF3.

Here's the conversation I had with EA:

P.S My name is NOT Sec Ret

tonyt3rry · 25 Oct 2011 at 01:09

Pighardia · 25 Oct 2011 at 01:10

Thank you Tingle.

Now someone from ocuk get down the warehouse and pack my order!

TNGL · 25 Oct 2011 at 01:12

Do they send you a key straight away with GMG, that you can use to start downloading BF3 ASAP?

lee20010 · 25 Oct 2011 at 01:13

Spyke_UK · 25 Oct 2011 at 01:13

Very, VERY happy with this, it plays great and looks frickin' fantastic! I predict my CoD days have come to an end!

Harrybololxd · 25 Oct 2011 at 01:15

I guess with the change of the release date we will get it around 6am?

ScarySquirrel · 25 Oct 2011 at 01:15

Played 3 hours MP so far. Amazing! Love it. Not 100% keen on maps so far, some are good, some are, I dunno, can't put my finger on it.

Gameplay is solid, feels BF2 like, jets are fun, helis are fantastic (had a brilliant 17 kill streak as gunner in one).

Loving it!!!

Speirs · 25 Oct 2011 at 01:15

We been rumbled!!
Below is from Facebook.

Release date changed.

BF3 Launch Changed

In response to the large amount of players using a Korean VPN today to play Battlefield 3 one day early, EA have sent out an email to all those who bought on origin that they can access the game today instead of tomorrow. This is great news and we can’t wait to see the swarm come on the battlefield. Hopefully this will mean that EA will change the release dates for the rest of the world.

This is ONLY for Digital Pre Orders of BF3

Some people are reporting to not of received the email. If your Regions release was set to be the 25th of October, we encourage you to try starting the game in origin and logging into Battlelog. Source www.battlefieldo.com
