Why are people purchasing now specifically for BF3? Hardware will come down in price between now and release. People are probably scurrying to release GPUs etc. in time for it, which at the worst will mean current new models will be cheaper as they're superseded.

Because they can ?

This suggests that even the MoH 'early access' is pretty short. Hardly worth the investment if true!

48 hours, same as pre-order on Origin.

If you pre-ordered on Origin before that announcement was made, do you still get the 48 hours early access?

After playing bf1942 for a bit last night id LOVE some naval combat in bf3, farting about with a sub and sinking a Carrier was so satisfying. Really don't see that happening for BF3 though

Lucky sod.

Anyway, purchased the meat of my pc now:

HP ZR24W 24" 1920X1200 screen
I7 2600k
8Gb DDR3 1600Mhz (2x4gb)
P8Z68-V PRO Motherboard
GTX 580 graphics card
X-Fi Titanium

Total cost: £765 (excluding X-Fi which I had already). Moderately chuffed at what I got for the cost, but BF3 better be bloody worth it.

Nice spec, i only spent £260 on my rig, it's so good to see that any latest spec on games matches the recommended requirements on my rig, compared to my old system being minimum, i know get 40+ kills to 20+ deaths on bfbc2 whereas before it would be 30 deaths to 5 kills, i would practically rubberband all over the place one minute i would be shooting a player, next i would be dead, it was frustrating.

There was a quote that only EA, game and some other store could offer the Limited edition, does anyone have any source or proof of this? wondering where to buy from but dont want to spend the best part of 40 jibblies.

Think the best part of it all is how he just ignores whatever anyone says about them
