Yeah that's just the various patches and bug fixes. Some of them contain the DLC and purchasing just unlocks it.

Never mind that, wheres the Aug bonus content drop, and wheres the damn double xp weekend? Its the 2nd week were halfway thru the month and all Premium says is "soon".

Just had a look on Battlelog, they are making an announcement at Gamescon today at 4pm ET. I expect they will give us more details and give a release date then.

Armoured kill will be out on 11th September in North America and 14th September in Europe according to the EA press conference.

Double XP weekend is the on the 25th and 26th. There's no news about the bonus content drop though.

Bonus content drop is pictures, haha!

Enjoy Premium members! -Owned.

Well, just pre-ordered Premium Edition. I've been wanting BF3 for PC anyway, seems like a good deal for $70. Armored Kill looks great and hopefully I can get a new GPU before Aftermath hits.

Owned how? Because I think saving money is a justifiable enough reason to get premium. Anything else is just a bonus.

I might pick up the Premium pack next pay.. if I can afford it lol

No, they marketed Premium with the "Bonus Content" as a big selling feature. They sold out, and rushed out this content. It's a ****ing joke.

Okay? Whatever the case, you didn't have to buy it. Just seems silly to me to complain about something that is in fact a bonus and you didn't know what it was going in.

I don't know that they ever said bonus content drops would be extra weapons or whatever it is you guys are expecting.

Just like you bought Premium not knowing what the expansion packs are about? Same thing.

DICE said that the content drops were "game changing content, for premium members to add more playability to the game". Some high res JPEG pictures do that for you? So yes, owned - more delusional people buying into lies and crap from EA/DICE.

As for myself, I'll just be buying Armored Kill. The "kind-of" only map pack which is what BF is really about, but even then it probably wont come close.

Buying into lies? Uh...no. You're delusional if you thought you'd be getting new guns every month outside of the expansions. At most you can expect to get skins. Your expectations are set way to high.
