Mod: Note that the 'limited edition' description has been removed from harvey norman site. See discussion below for more details.

Found this deal on bigfooty.com while searching for the cheapest bricks and mortar store price.

Sure it's cheaper overseas (as I have ordered), but this is the best price I've found to walk in and pick it up on the 27th and not have to wait 10-15 days.

EB Games - $88 - www.ebgames.com.au/sale-product-1319-pc-Battlefield-3

    Unless you must have a physical copy of the game, you can get it for about $49 AUD at Amazon. All you need is a US address (I used my Comgateway one). I've been playing it all morning!

    • MementoMori on 25/10/2011 - 11:54

      Why not post this deal? It sounds great! I paid $45 to have a physical shipped from the UK, would much rather what you have suggested.

        Too busy playing :P.

    • MementoMori on 25/10/2011 - 11:57

      I saw this 'Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United States and who have a U.S. billing address.'

      To confirm, is your Comgateway one a 'billing address'? Did you use an Australian credit card or something else?

      • kheob on 25/10/2011 - 11:59

        Yeah, I changed the billing address to the Comgateway one and paid with an Australian CC.

    its not limited edition…

      It is (read the last paragraph on the site).

      • Steptoe on 25/10/2011 - 12:04

        Guess it is as prices are higher than SE at Big W. Icon image is for LE, but when you click thru it's the SE. They could make it more obvious than a bit of text. No wonder for the confusion.

        The link has been edited, there is no longer any mention of a limited edition.

  • Jeff Stryker on 25/10/2011 - 12:19

    $72 is a good deal. Pity my current rig doesn't have the specs to play this.

  • luztra on 25/10/2011 - 13:53

    It says $78 for the PS3 version, but when I pre-ordered it says it is only $72.

  • BoltThrower on 25/10/2011 - 14:17

    Got mine for $41 LE, Phys Warfare, Back to Kark, Dog-Tags, Specact Kit and the BF playforfree beret (and gun?) from CJs CDKeys. Euro version, not Russian, downloaded it in 2 hours from Origin. Nice.

    • MementoMori on 25/10/2011 - 15:15

      Hmmm cannot see that version… only the RU one comes with the Dog Tags and skins… the EU one does not?

      • MementoMori on 25/10/2011 - 16:07

        Also $41 AUD will only get you the RU version, the EU version is $51 AUD-ish…, which, at that price, Amazon Digital Download is probably better?

        • BoltThrower on 25/10/2011 - 16:17

          Check what you get in the Amazon ver. You only get the dog-tags and the maps.
          I paid for the Russian Version, downloaded the language pack and they ended up giving me the EU version anyway.
          also, use a VPN if you don't want to wait 2 days to play it.

        • MementoMori on 25/10/2011 - 17:04

          Nice one! Hmmmm…. I wonder if I order the RU version the same thing will happen. Great to know you got it for a good price with no 'hacking' required. Can't help but think EA might invalidate those keys in the future, even if it's a long shot.

          Thinking I might get the Digital Download now and eBay off my UK copy at cost price when it arrives…. At $45 for a physical with Melb CBD pickup it should sell easy.

      how to ? care to explain mate?
      thanks

  • Richardlwf89 on 25/10/2011 - 14:42

    Just pre-ordered the PS3 version for $72 instead of $78. I filled in that form.. so what happens from here?

      Gerry will knock on your door at midnight with your copy in his hands, as long as you used your correct address.

    • Richardlwf89 on 25/10/2011 - 15:38

      Follow up: Got an email - will be contacted when ready for pick up :)

  • phoenix17 on 25/10/2011 - 16:00

    Duped deal btw. Also was under impression that preorders would end on release date? (i.e today)

    • MementoMori on 25/10/2011 - 16:07

      Link to the dupe? I couldn't find it… only another that had PC and Xbox.

    Harvey Norman have just edited the link. It no longer displays any info that would lead people to believe it's a limited edition.

    • Richardlwf89 on 25/10/2011 - 18:40

      Oh what! I thought it was LE, which was the only reason I pre-ordered. Luckily, I didn't have to pay and didn't give them much information apart from a phone number. I'll just order from BigW and cancel this order from HN ==".

      Retracting positive vote.

      Hmmm… except for the LE box cover

      • Wish on 25/10/2011 - 19:18

        Yeah your right.. I guess they haven't picked up on that yet.

  • Wish on 25/10/2011 - 17:46

    Dick Smith Electronics are selling the PC standard edition for $69.94 so this isn't really a bargain.

  • MementoMori on 26/10/2011 - 09:00

    Hmmm…. I Just bought from CJS CD Keys… There was 'Current Stock: 762' but when I bought mine I got 'nothing in stock, please wait 12 hours…' Boo!

  • Wish on 26/10/2011 - 09:43

    Is that the Russian version?

    • MementoMori on 26/10/2011 - 09:50

      Yes, RU with Karkland. In fact, I just got the email saying the key is ready, but now I can't log in. I get this…

      "Warning: unlink(number.txt) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in /home/cjscdkey/public_html/includes/classes/class.customer.php on line 99

      Warning: fopen(number.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/cjscdkey/public_html/includes/classes/class.customer.php on line 102
      can't open file"

      ….awesome…. not. Hopefully it'll all be fixed up by the time I get home from work to download it. Pity I couldn't kick off the 11GB download this morning prior due to this stuff up.
