Then buy the other 3 DLC seperate and save ?4.03p?

If the other three turn out to be good. Ever since EA bought DICE, I've been skeptical of the quality of whatever they put out. That is why I'm hesitant at dropping 50 on future content when we don't know the quality.

That is just me.

I paid $60 for a game that up until two months ago was broken, and now they want more money? No. Sorry. Isn't happening.

Personally I think a one time price for 5 expansion packs is a pretty good deal. I am getting sick of this "two weeks console exclusivity" crap though.

Good news about the F35.. I'm a big fan of the air vehicles but whenever it came to being US on a map with the F35, I'd just give up because it was such an easy target! I look forward to trying this update.

lol $50. If thats ?49.99 they can suck my balls.

Just logged into PSN, its ?39.99 on PSN Store, should be a bit cheaper for PC, thats ok.

It's the same on PC, which is a bit of a joke to be honest. But it's difficult because it still ends up cheaper than buying all the DLC separately, even if it is more expensive than other territories :/

Once again creating a power void for those that don't wish to throw money into a bottomless pit. Thanks, Battlefield.

DLCs have killed gaming. You pay $60 for a game that barely worked, had to wait until March of this year for a fix that made the game better to play, and now they want us to pay MORE money just to keep a fair advantage with your peers.

I'm certainly not asking for this stuff to be free, but all of this is just too much money. I'm done. The DLC has killed gaming. I'm sorry, but this is just rediculous.

I somewhat agree with you. I was fine with giving people unique skins for their weapons and outfits and dog tags. But the priority queue thing is total bull****. You shouldn't have to pay extra money just to get into a server.

So let me get this straight... EA wants me to buy Premium on the bases of not knowing what it is I'm buying...

I saw about 2 seconds on Armoured Kill, and the other 2 expansions aren't even shown, let alone told what they are... Multiplayer expansions?

http://battlelog.bat...om/bf3/premium/ all MP updates, 4 new maps in each, weapons, vehicles etc...

lol $50. If thats ?49.99 they can suck my balls.

Just logged into PSN, its ?39.99 on PSN Store, should be a bit cheaper for PC, thats ok.

I'm not sure why people are banding around ?40/50 price tags...its 4000 MS points which you can easily get for around ?30 http://www.live-code.../prod.php?id=28 even from MS themselves its only ?34

if its more on PS3/PC, then I'm glad I have a 360.

So if Microsoft said "Buy Windows 9 now, it comes with a start menu, Internet Explorer, custom desktop wallpaper and a recycle bin" you would buy it in advanced?

Depends on the price/discount, but I've had every version of windows since 95 (except ME/2000...lets not go there) so yes I will most likely get 8 and 9 and 10 and so on (especially if there is a discount for pre-ordering)...I'm a windows user.

I'm also a BF player, had every game (except BC1) and nearly every expansion...so pre ordering to save money would seem to make sense..especially when its only ?30 or so.

This is nothing more than EA getting people to buy the game again, after already paying for it once. Worse, this is pretty much a "God Mode" and if you don't have this, the game is useless to you now, because it puts you at such a disadvantage. :crazy:

How does it put you at a disadvantage exactly? If you suck at the game, you still suck even if you spend $49

How? It doesn't make you take less damage or do more damage. It's just more gun variety and map variety. And you can get the same guns and maps by not buying the Premium (minus exclusive skins). As I said before the only reason a person should have issues with "premium" is for the server queue priority. But apparently server owners can turn that off so it's not a huge issue.

Also you can unlock the guns at rank 1 if you do the assignments so you don't even need to be a high rank to use them.

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
