Won't work. You can't use the same key twice and they all already have been activated (for PC).

[BlueDraGon]

Ok.. so the people who pre-ordered from Origin the digital download don't need a code and the beta will appear in the "Free Games" section in the Origin Store right?

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Won't work. You can't use the same key twice and they all already have been activated (for PC).

I had a feeling the PC keys would've been activated already. As for the Xbox 360 and PS3 keys, why would the host mention twice that the keys will be activated at a later date? Also, some keys were shown more than once on the live stream. Surely they'd know that people would be quick to activate them (assuming they'd work).

game play looks like MW2

I don't know how anyone could say that. Besides similar guns the game play looks nothing alike.

Host got it wrong. Keys are already activatable since four days ago. It's the open beta that opens "tomorrow" (US time) for the ones with the early access keys (and goes completely open on the 29th).

The only thing he was right about, is the "if you weren't fast enough, someone grabbed the key before you". And I guess were shown more than once, because they had limited number of them and the tournament went on longer than they expected so they went on repeat mode.

[SteelToast]

I do believe (as mentioned in the video) that ALL the keys for PS3/Xbox/PC will only be activated tommorow at noon pacific / 3PM eastern...

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Anyway, here's an awesome Battlefield 3 montage by Sgt. Enigma. You may know him for his Bad Company 2 montages.

What's there to wait for? Just try to activate one of the keys for PC on Origin, and see what it will say to you. And keys from the giveaway by i3d.net were already been activated, five days ago.

And by the way. i3d.net giving away more keys today, as I previously mentioned: http://www.neowin.ne...t__p__594331206

Another post from EA Australia just now:

DICE started sending keys out 36 minutes ago in batches. Still waiting for my early access code.

[SoapyHamHocks Member]

No code yet :(

[gkl]

Still waiting for my key as well. BTW you can "preload" the beta via bittorrent - http://filesmelt.com/dl/BF3Beta_RequiresKey.torrent It's legit and of course you will need a key for it to work. Found via reddit.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Where do I get the key?

[Digitalx]

Was perfect timing I get home from work then 5 minutes later zh1nt0 said keys going out open gmail and away I go :punk:

This is what the email will show blanked out spaces show name and key.

Once code is redeemed then you can login to http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/

[Cyplex]

[DrJohnSmitherson]

Damn, still dont have mine yet!

[BlueDraGon]

wow I haven't got my key yet via email :/

[Digitalx]

incentive of being in NZ and it's the 28th here now :|

[TheLegendOfMart]

I bought MOH:LE and BF3 and i still dont have my key, EA/DICE can **** off.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

I would not be surprised if this is all based on American times since that is where EA's main headquarters are located, and here it is only 8:30 AM on the East Coast. If EA is on the West Coast, it is still 5:30 AM at their offices. So I would keep that in mind. They never gave an exact time, and more than likely than are going by UA time, even if DICE themselves are not in the US.
