Going to pick up psn cards thus morning so I have the premium moneys available.
Was it confirmed 50 usd? I couldn't get the trailer to load on my phone.

Gtp open server will have the maps available. Prob just be a rotation of new maps new modes for a week. Ill have them immediatley unless they drop Thursday night. I wont be able to download them at work.

Don't worry you can't do anything when it is downloaded, still only a handful of servers available.

That's because they're not updating the servers until between 5 and 8 GMT which is right before I'll be on. It's just a bit ridiculous how ling it's taking with about 32mb/s download.

We should get Close Quarters tonight. The BF3 E3 press conference starts in 5 hours 45 minutes.

Yeah PS3 premium users get it tonight, 360 and PC premium users get it next Monday.

So normal PS3 users get it next monday or nextnext monday?

Normal PS3 users get it in two weeks and normal 360 and PC in 3 weeks. Sony's 1 week exclusivity kind of cocks up the release of DLC like MoneySoft's deal with Activision for COD.
 
Home on lunch.
Updating bf3.
Have some business errands to run and will be getting my psn cards while I'm out.
GTPlanet open server will be updated to the new maps tonight.


As for getting seven flag versions for consoles. It would never work with 12v12. The players would be to spread out and itkeould turn into a round robin of flag exchanges. I wish consoles were at least 16 on 16. Ideally 24/24. I would love to have the extra flags on firestorm ( across the lonh road from c) kharg ( depot area at foot of mountain) ,nosahar (across canal from a or around the bridges behind c) and I think Oman( up the hill in the neighborhood or across the river where one team spawns). These are there in conquest large along with others for 64 player matches, but I think adding one extra flag to some of the 3 flag maps would be good ( I know kharg is a 4 flag already)
 
BF3 PREMIUM is available now, from premium option in main menu or PS STORE.

Im a BF3 PREMIUM member 👍 :D,

Also when you buy PREMIUM, go to the store in main menu and then premium section and Close qaurters will be waiting there for you...

Currently downloading it.

Anyone know how much premium is in the UK? I've heard £39.99 but haven't seen anything official.
 
Not too bad then. How much are the DLC packs individually?

Im unsure, The same as what B2K was i would think. I havnt paid much notice to individual pricing as i have been planning on getting premium all along.

How much was B2K? I got the limited edition.


Edit

Nevermind, found it myself (£11.99). So I'm assuming they'll all be the same price so you do make a saving of about £8 (for people who already have B2K). Plus all the extra stuff it works out as good value if you want all the DLC, I'm sold. Now to convince the fiancee XD

Anything up this side of the pond? I'm at work right now.

Exactly the reasons I don't use credit cards for gaming stuff ;)
11 years happily married!

Under the thumb much 👎 :D MY PLAN FOR SUCH AN EVENTUALITY.

YOU - Darling, theres something wrong with the car.

HER - is it?

YOU - UM yeah, (make up some mechanical problem with the car she wont understand)

HER - Oh no what will we do.

YOU - well theres 2 ways we can do it, We can contact the garage for them to have a look at it, Or my freind 'insert name here' can fix it for 40.00 quid.

HER - Oh thats not to bad we will have to ask your freind to do it as the garage fee's will be a lot i expect.

YOU - Ok love, i will get on to him now.

HER - Ok.

YOU - Pretend a phone call to your 'friend'. then leave for your 'friend' s, wich actually is your local game store. Pick up 40.00 qids worth of PSN vouchers.

when you get home use the psn codes as quick as you can not to risk leaving evidence.

Foolproof......

You can thank me later ;)👍

By the way my Close quarters has just finished downloading :D
 
Ouch.

I started the patch download and left the room.
Came back 5 minutes later and was in bf3 main screen. Thought it corrupted as I usually have problems with each patches getting about halfway and locking up. Low and behold, it worked.

How much is Premium $USD?
 
50$
I may have to get an extra 20$ card though. Might not have enough to cover stupid tax.
 
Battlefield 3 Premium is now live on both PSN and Xbox 360 for $50 or 4000 MS points but there’s a catch. Premium on PC is not available at the time of writing.

Battlefield 3 Premium “…should be accessed through the in-game store and NOT DOWNLOADED FROM Xbox Live/PSN or you will be charged twice,” reads the description of the DLC plan. It’s still unknown whether this problem will be remedied by EA at some point or not. We’ll keep an eye out for an official comment on the matter.

Also, PS3 Premium users now are able to download Close Quarters. The second expansion pack weighs in at 1142MB on PS3.

Schedule on when Close Quarters is expected to be playable as we reported earlier (still verifying the dates, not final):

June 4th for PS3 Premium (We’re getting mixed feedback on whether it’s playable at the moment or not.)
June 12th for Xbox 360 and PC Premium
Week of June 18th: for PS3 Regular
Week of June 25th: for PC and Xbox 360 Regular
