[Official] Battlefield 3 Information & Discussion Thread - Page 4302

There is the Premium add-on and a New product being released on Sept. 11th for $69 $59 that includes the original game AND premium add-on called Battlefield 3 Premium Edition. You probably purchased the second option. Pretty confusing.

Hmm, I thought that BF Premium (combined) was already released... So if THAT is what you purchased I guess you can't play till the 11th?

If you bought BF3 by itself, then also purchased Premium expansion, then you must have got either an email with keys to activate on your account, or automatically tied to your account in which case you just have to install it. (usually this is done automatically)

$60 for the whole deal is pretty nice though, good discount.

Just checked my receipt of purchase and it reads the items listed as these

Battlefield 3 premium edition
Back to karkand expansion pack
Close quarters
battlefield 3 premium

So reading that it would seem you are correct and yes it should be clearer. So I have pre ordered a game I already own? And not only that have to wait until sept 11 to use content that is already released because origin is assuming I don't have the original? absolutely ridiculous. How will I go about fixing this? im about to purchase two more copies of bf3 tomorrow for my two sons when I rebuild the youngest`s rig. Will i be able to gift the purchase to my son? or will this be a complete customer service refund and re-purchase? very confusing.

I did buy bf 3 by itself last week and bought or thought I bought premium tonight on origin. Seems I have bought a yet to be released package deal including the original game. Very confusing advertising. I just followed the link to premium from the massive advert in the middle of the screen!! There was no mention of including the original game unless I missed it or didn't see it because wasn't looking for the original game or bundle.

Ok, then it looks like you just need this http://store.origin.com/store/ea/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.249982800

Is anyone entering the map contest? What could I use to draw a map--nothing to fancy. My PAINT skillz are too wicked for this so I'm hesitant to bust them out

For $69.99 you get BF3 and the Premium, if you already own the game then you just need Premium for $49.99. The advertising needs to be a little more specific but that must suck who ever re-bought the game for the premium. lol

Does any place besides Origin sell BF3 Premium Edition?

Greenmangaming.com is selling BF3 premium(requires BF3 base) for $49.99 with a 25% off coupon GMG25-LABOR-DAYGO starting on Sunday, Sep 2, 1100 UTC (4am PDT) - 1100UTC Sep 4.

With the current EA sale of BF3 for $20, this is only $2.50 cheaper than buying BF3 Premium Edition for $60 straight from EA. I'm wondering if there's any codes to get BF3 Premium Edition for a discount.

In my country i need to pay about 65-70$ for premium :/

My place (Gibraltar) isn't recognised as anything other than European even though we're a British Overseas Territory and use GBP as our currency rather than EUR. Steam has the same issue. The result? Over-inflated European prices for us in Gibraltar for everything that's Digital Distribution. As a result, for everything that I can, I prefer buying a physical copy from Play.com in the UK and waiting a week to get it in my hands.

Thankfully I bought BF3: Premium whilst I was physically living in the UK so I paid in GBP and thus paid the price I should legally be paying in Gibraltar too.
