Battlefield 3 re-issue hits in Sept for $60
A new version of Battlefield 3, the Battlefield 3 Premium Edition, will arrive this September, executive producer Patrick Bach announced during EA's Gamescom press conference. As the title implies, the Premium Edition includes a membership to the Battlefield Premium service which, in turn, grants access to new expansions, including Back to Karkand, Close Quarters, and the upcoming Armored Kill, End Game and Aftermath.
The Premium Edition also features the "Multiplayer Head Start Kit," which includes "15 different weapons, gadgets and vehicle upgrades." The Battlefield 3 Premium Edition will launch on PC, Xbox and PS3 this September for $70 in North America, €60 in Europe and £50 in the UK.

That's a great deal................... if you don't have BF3 yet.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU EA/DICE! Most of us that now have Premium have coughed up a total of 110$ for the game and Premium! Now you can get it all for 40$ less! WTF ????
So now that you know, you can wait 11 months to buy BF4, and save 40 bucks!.gif "173")
LOL
Whats is fucked up is that I still have to pay for two more map packs and fuckers buying it now get them for free. What makes it worse nobody is going to want to buy a used copy of Bf3.
This is really a great way to screw over loyal fans.
SO yeah, FUCK MOH, I hope they choke on that shit.
Doodi was right about DLC and limited editions! Its a marketing strategy that rips people off.. Goddanm you EA!
This is funny. I railed against this in the PPC forums and all I got was BS because you can't say anything bad about BF3.
Now I'm really glad I got rid of this game.
Ya you got beat up a little.
The sad thing is you know they're gonna do the same thing to any Bad Companys that get released from here on out
I was holding out hope they wouldn't take it this far.....
And Spartan scores on the rebound...
I'm just giving Fat a hard time. It's really kind of sad that some of the big players are putting out pricing schemes like this. I don't expect them to make content for free, but this alienates a lot of consumers.
The more new blood they bring in, the longer it is before I have to find another game. The marketing/business side of me has been impressed with their moves.
Like Dew said, these people will be getting a game that leans heavily on its ranking system and is 11 months old. But, hey, for an extra $40, they can buy the Ultimate Shortcut Bundle and get everything except the chick-magnet rank symbol!
Whoa, whoa, whoa,..... wait a minute here. How far up in rank to I have to be before I get the chick magnet thingy...?!?!?
I mean, I'm already a chick magnet;............ just too bad that I seem to repel them. :-?
The chick magnet unlock is like a few hendred thousand points after you unlock the CITV for the skid loader.
"Nerf is special, I have been 100 for a long time now and still no chick magnet rank ! Its all lies....
"
As someone said rank 100 is a chick magnet, just reverse polarity..........
Uh, what? I was promised this was the case.
So, I went to Tank's link and started watching the video. I couldn't help but LOL at the guy's own reaction to what slipped out of his mouth:

As much as I hate to say it Spart was right about the EA/DICE money whores! Never the less I still think BF3 is a great game, but Dice/EA are whores!
Dice has nothing to do with it. It's all EA
Whether it's Dice, Treyarch, or who ever, do you really believe that they have nothing to do with it? This type of revenue model is planned and agreed to by all involved. I'm sure Dice has a contract which states that they are entitled to a percentage of DLC revenues. Dice and other developers would be crazy to not agree to this.
It's not a developers job to set prices or plan revenue models. That's what the publisher does. Developers get paid for what they make, and when they meet milestones, they get an advance on royalties. They may get their % of revenue from sales, but again, that is determined by the publisher.... who funded the entire project
Developers are always getting screwed by the publishers
I bought my car and a year later they were selling it for cheaper. Assholes!
They are selling a brand new model with leather seats, dvd navigatioon, redesigned exterior, and it costs excatly the same as your car with cassette player, cloth seats, and a smaller engine that you bought only 5 months ago.
No, same car, same make, same model, same year. They need to get the cars off the lot, and they know they can't do that at the same price. I got to ride my car for 11 months while they were hitching rides.
Actually, it's the same model. They're desperate to get it off the lot. And you've since upgraded all of those things yourself. You had your pick of getting them separately, but you went with the bundle package to save a little money.
Besides, you've got your radio set up perfectly!
Looks like EA decided to drop the price to to $59.99 for this 'everything' re-issue

Just picked the the Premium Edition from Amazon for under $50.
Two things, first, if you want to make some room on your FL for fellow BF players there's a FoF list somewhere in this forum, second there is a site-wide mixer every tuesday starting at 9PM CT, come check it out as soon as you get your copy.
