I wish!!

I'm thinking it can't be too far into September if they are planning on using any of the beta feedback for the final product that will be due for a mid October release.

Makes sense?

Wow... wonder what the pre-load will look like for PC players.

It's been rumored that it's a 10gb download for a digital copy and 15gb on disc version, so two discs as well (unless they will compress it really well on a DVD9 with tools that are not available on the XBOX360, or ones that will just take too long to uncompress the data on the console).

didn't really put a dent in CoD share of the shooter market or at all hurt their sales...

Go play MW3 then and stop trolling Battlefield thread.

I think the numbers are going to be much closer this time round they are releasing close to each other, BF3 is taking strides to improve the single player experience, going for authenticity and giving the fans everything they wanted including CoD Elite like features for free with the base product.

MW3 is just more of the same, they havent done much to evolve the series other than throw authenticity out the window and go for the most ridiculous over the top action set peices than a straight to DVD movie. The big Activision vs IW fight and the fact they took away dedicated servers only to re-introduce them is going to hurt them big time.

I watched the MW3 multiplayer trailer and the difference is night and day with BF3, when the littlebird attacks the station the windows just shatter, if that was BF3 the whole front of the building would have been blown to bits, MW3 is playing it safe by tweaking MW2 and rebadging it and i hope that people are going to see straight through them and opt for the better experience (BF3)

Yea, that whole first half of the cod mp trailer felt like they just tried so hard to emphasize on debris/destruction (which was just glass shattering over and over lol).

Pretty weak attempt imo at trying to bait players over.

I wasn't impressed in the least. It's starting to remind me of WoW patches. Nerf this, buff that. Still the same ol sh..

Yeah, I think so too. That's why latest numbers put BF3 at the same number of pre-orders as MW3. From everything we've seen from MW3, BF3 might just kill MW3 sales. It's far fetched but I think it will at least KILL MW3 on PC. There is no question that anyone who has a PC will buy BF3 over MW3 and I'm sure they will sell formidable number of console copies too that might even eclipse or be at lest on par with MW3 sales and this would be huge blow to Activision in general because it would mean they have lost the appeal as they had before.

It's going to be interesting to see what's going to happen, but I really feel that a lot of people are horribly turned off by MW3 looking exactly the same as MW2 but BF3 looking like the most photo-realistic warfare with vehicles and everything.

Those COD Elite like features are free in COD Elite you know.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
