Battlefield 3 Premium Edition hitting September for $70

Why is everyone so angry? If you think about it, the DLC is still $50.  The price of the game dropped to $20, which is not unreasonable considering how long its been out and how many units its sold.

Ill buy it again man sod it. £5.00 extra for Premium and base game can't knock it really and even more so get a nasty K/D ratio. Nice one EA (no sarcasm)

I just got BF3 maybe to weeks ago and it's fun, but the game crashs alot I want be buying Battlefield 4.

So battlefield 4 is out 2013.

I'l be getting the premium edition in 2014.

Guess when BF4 comes out I'l just wait a year.

As a person who never supported DICE and never cared about their games, this is an excellent deal! Sucks to be a fan, huh?

70 bucks ............. really EA? 

See people your all stupid for buying into premium!

Now people who where probably never interested in this piece of crap can now buy the game and premium togethor for way less money!

While fanboys payed more for being their loyal little puppies.

In conclusion this stinks for most and good for the new people wanting to buy BF3, also fanboyism is bad and should never exist!

WOW!  This is gonna piss people off, but good!  Why to go EA!  Will they have even released all 5 of the map packs by September?  And you really can't say anything bad about the people that blew the $50 for the premimum service.  I  don't play the game enough to justify the expense, but for those that enjoy the game and know they'll be playing it on a regular basis, it an understandable buy.  But for EA to then go out and sell the whole kit and kaboodle for only a few bucks more than the original price of the standalone game, AND to sell it when the game's not even a year old, well, that just goes to show you why EA is one of the most hated companies on the planet.  Like I said, way to go EA!  Keep up the good work!

Piss on you EA. 

shifiting to pc high now, my 300 dollar pc will run it on high!!!!!

hum, let's see.... fanboys paid $60 for the game plus $50 for the Premium: $110 , and now EA will release the same content for $ 70 ?? NICE EA! I love to see how you can make money easily!

awesome, man. i am psyched and ready to buy.

Good job, rich parents or whatever, you'd be a fool to buy a game Day 1 nowadays, especially paying $60 and up.

Why are they releasing on September 11th?

Typical EA.. . 8)

I hate EA to death, but, to be fair, even Rockstar (everyone's favorite company) and Valve (everyone's other favorite company) have done the same thing. R* released a "complete" edition of GTA4, L.A. Noire, and RDR GOTY edition. Valve made an L4D GOTY edition. That's why I try to wait before I buy certain games... Why buy half a game for $60 when you can get the full game for $50-$70 later?

Good thing I held off on buying this. Still... Loyal fans get treated like crap. "Here, pre-order this for $60 and we'll throw in a free map!" *a few months later* "Here, buy this for $70 and we'll give you 20 extra maps!" I think people who pre-order should automatically get all the DLC for free.

That's it EA, I'm not buying anymore of your games.

This is one of the few times I've felt like using profanity in a comment.  I paid $60 for this game when it first came out.  It doesn't really pay to be a fan of a series anymore, as it always seems to be the on the fence people who get the best deal.  They get to spend $70 while I'd have to pay $120 for the exact same content.  EA sucks.

I was looking at gamestop.ca's website last week, and they already had this up for pre-order before this announcement.

Armored kill and this premium edition will release together and some confuse and buy premium edition for $70.Thats the plan

Excellent though, this means i will have more noobs to kill with my Artificial Aiming Helios lvl 3 aimbot. I cant wait.

this is basically a GOTY edition no? - so why does it cost more than the game at launch?

The hell... I preordered BF3 for $10 less than this and it was enough of a disappointment after all the hype and expectations from BF2. Now they're just rubbing it in. Eff you EA. Eff you most loudly.

this company is greedy as crap!! never buying from these guys at release again.

here i am again happy i didnt bought this from EA great game ruined ...again, i feel sorry for those who bough it yet again, guys learn from your mistake vote with your wallets....do no fall for this bussines malpractices.
