Re: 25% off for Battlefield 3 Pre-Order thru Origin

So what!!!! This only works for people who live in either of the 13 countries. Thats bullsh - BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actualy just ordered it an hour before reading this post and though I did get a 10% discount I obviously would rather receive the 25%.

Re: 25% off for Battlefield 3 Pre-Order thru Origin

I got the email last night driving back from Cincy. About went off the road.

But one problem. I don't know if my new lappy will be able to run it well or if I should just get it for sexbox. I know I know I won't be able to know until the game comes out but can anyone with computer knowledge give me a good estimate of frame rates and settings I can play it on with my new set up? I went on notebook bench marks and looked at BC2 for my GPU and it was still getting like 35 fps on ultra. So I think I should be good to play it say at least 35 fps on high?

I've got:
i7-2720QM, 2.2-3.3GHz
GeForce GTX 560M
8 GB of RAM

Can anyone give me a good guess before I pre-order?

oswald, those settings are really good! I wouldnt be surprsied if you didnt get 70fps on it.

Now with that said, a lot depends on how your system is setup as well as the game. Since thats an M series card, I assume thats a laptop?

If you played BC2 on it, how did it run?

I was reading the fine print on the code email and noticed that though you have 5 days, there is an expiration on the promotion of 7/31/2011. So anyone thinking about doing this needs to get on the ball.

Yeah it's a laptop. Currently on its way. So I don't have any personal benchmarks from BC2. Like I said on notebook benchmarks they had the 560m listed at about 35 fps on ultra. They don't list processor speeds or RAM though.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Looks like I'll be placing my pre-order tonight through Origin.

I have a code. If anyone would like it, PM me. It doesnt have to be used for BF3, but I would like it used. So if you want something off of Origin and plan to get it by the 31st, PM me.

No. You need to have an account and sign up for the newsletter. You should get the email within 48 hours. You might check your spam filters as I can see it being blocked.

I did create a new account and received a code as well.
