Battlefield 3 (not Bad Company)

Pete, go and buy it somewhere today and when yours arrives from Shopto, send it back.

Can you get the karkland pack if you just buy it new?

[englishbob]

Didn't go in any shops on friday (chose the pub instead!) but provided its the limited edition (and has that Orange band on the cover) I can't see why not...

[SuperBeatBoy]

Just take the shopto one back to the shop you would purchase the other one from Pete. As long as its sealed they should refund you, saves posting it and then waiting for a refund.

I got the limited edition from Gamestation. No PC left so went with 360...all installed and updated and HDd only to now find the limited edition codes have already been used!

I was expecting problems with this game but I've yet to even get into it and I'm tearing my hair out!

Was it sealed?

[PeteJ]

Yep, still sealed.

[charlesr]

So someone has just entered random codes till they lucked out?

I'm getting the impression you are not supposed to play this game.....

From Eurogamer:

Bearing in mind everything we've seen of the computer version, it's no surprise that a maxed out PC experience is light-years ahead of what we see on console - far more so in terms of the multiplayer game (as you'll see, the campaign is remarkably close). Regardless, the computer version of Battlefield 3 is so important that we'll be looking at it in a lot more depth in a separate article.

Based on Beta at least I agree, but not seen full game on console yet. MP is the biggest leap in online fps that I can remember sincebthenoriginal BF2.

Really? So far (console wise) this is the most incremental BF I've yet played

Iread a post on Facebook from EA saying that there are problems with some of the codes that went out with the game, and if your effected by codes not being recognised to phone their helpline to get a new code.

[PeteJ]

Cool, I'll look into that. I think I'm just missing out on a few weapons so not that bothered.

Still haven't received either copy from ShopTo. Seriously, TWO packages going missing?

Posted in first play too, selling well, http://i.joystiq.com/2011/10/31/batt...on-units-sold/

It's seriously big sales numbers for a game to reach, shows that EA was silly stating about 10m units originally.
