That queue priority is bull****.That should be up to the people who run the servers and no one else. And the only reason I will buy the Close Quarters xpack is for the weapons. 16 player maps don't interest me in the slightest.

That's the one thing that made me cringe too. So all there people that bought the pack will be able to jump up front in queue, and the people that didn't buy it will never get in. It's going to be a huge mess if a lot of people buy it.

I was just about to post that, Priority is a terrible idea, now people who dont buy into premium will be tossed aside to wait longer. Thats messed up, Its turning into COD and I am not liking this.

Maybe that will only be on official DICE/ea servers. They have to run some servers because how else will people be able to access the maps early? If it's only on Official DICE/ea servers then it's not so bad because I haven't seen one of those since the betas. But if they are forcing all servers to have priority queues then that's ****ing stupid and I hope people don't buy it and tell EA that's not something we're interested in having.

In fact I bet there are threads on battlelog talking about that very thing. *goes to check*

Just to state, I think I remember seeing a Battlefield tweet saying that Close quarters would cost $14.99. Assuming the other will cost the same, $14.99 x 4 = $59.96. So this would be a better deal if you plan to buy the expansions when they come out.

What if you alreay bought Back to Karkland... guess premium isn't worth it for those wo already invested in DLC already..... thats blows

Little question if i buy BF3 from Amazon(?21) can i just sign up with origin(?29) and use the key to download the game with all the updates instead of installing then updating?? (prices on each in brackets)

Yes you can. As the game requires origin to play no matter where you buy it from.

I don't know how much it will be for you but Gamersgate is having a sale on Battlefield games right now, BF3 is $30 us.

I thought it was only 4 DLC, if its ?39.99 like PSN cost then I'm definitely buying it. Each DLC pack on its own will be ?11.99, I already got Karkand for pre-ordering you are saving ?8, you get early access to all the DLC and you get extras like dog tags and stuff it'll be worth it if you are a battlefield fan.

Looking forward to seeing if it is an actual AC-130, really enjoyed it in Desert Combat, just imagining it in BF3 in big open maps gets me excited.

I'd only buy premium if i got a discount for already having bought B2k, since i wont be getting as much of a good deal as those who havent.

They have already said people who already have B2K wont get a discount.

It's still a good deal as each DLC will be ?12, there are 4 (5 if you count Karkand) so you are still saving ?8 in total as well as getting early access and exclusive dog tags, camo, etc..

How about the case that a DLC is crap? I expect Close Quarters to be a lot like CoD, therefore its a definitively NOT buy for me. Buying the premium is then more expensive.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
