I wish it was activision that put their games on sale instead of DICE. I pre-ordered both bc2 and bf3. Nice deal though.

I'm glad I visited before going to bed. BF3 should be downloaded by tomorrow. Thanks!

We preordered to get a jump on learning the maps and weapons... hopefully this deal brings in some fresh blood...hehehehe :twisted:

This deal is not for Europe xD oh they are so unlucky.

Take it easy on us newcomers. I picked this up yesterday for $40. Oh well. Almost downloaded.

Damnit and I JUST bought BF3 on Wendesday for a friend :thumbsdown:

 

[Grooveriding]

If you haven't bought it yet, please buy it now! Great price for GOTY material imo.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Installing now. I really didn't want to get involved with Origin, but I guess I have no choice with BF3.

I hear ya -- just played this morning for the first time -- Caspian -- 3 kills 15 deaths!

If you're on Caspian map, just stay away from the gas station ok? It's mine...all mine. I hate this game - it's taking up all my precious free time and costing me money upgrading my computer.

It looks like you can also get the physical media for $29.99 and free shipping from origin. They charge tax.

Here's the amazon link. It's $29.99 for DL and $39.99 for physical. Lot's of bad reviews on amazon. I still play BF1942, LOL.

Got same price from Amazon for the download version, saved me the pain of typing all my cc info again on yet another cloud retailer's site.

I hear PC is preferable to PS3 (Best Buy had PS3 for $30)?

Not sure about the game, but is AMD 965/4870/4gb enough to run it?

should be fine, but it won't be running on high or ultra settings. The game scales pretty well.

That card will struggle.

Origin also has Arkam City for $29.99....dammit...I might have to bite.

I have a 4850 and Core 2 Duo, and it runs the game well on mostly low settings, with a few select settings at medium. Still looks very good even at those low settings though.

I don't even have a spare $30 right now, fucking medical costs. :'(

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Holy hell this game looks insane. Like playing the original crysis the first time.

 

[nyker96]

I've spent like $550 already buying stuff I don't need, must stop spending money!! all these deals are so hard to resist!

For everyone buying the BF3 game for PC... a few of Anandtech members is running BF3 servers. All information can be found on this thread:

2 questions:

is origin client worth using? cause the price for shipped media is same as price for digital download, and i don't care about time. if it were steam or amazon, wouldn't care. not sure on origin client.

will a phenom II x4 945, 6gb ram, and 5770 (standard clocks on everything) work out okay?

I believe you have to use Origin either way -- It's how the game is managed.
