Battlefield 3 Available for Pre-Order?

[=98=]

The guys over at Game UK have given us a possible insight into the release date of Battlefield 3, the latest addition to the popular Battlefield franchise. The site claims the game will be available for purchase in 98 days, although details on prices and content are still unavailable.

Be sure to check it out for yourselves here!

The recent advertising of community manager positions in DICE also acts as proof that we will soon be tearing round the battlefield again!

Stay tuned for the latest news!

Update:

Game UK has now released the price for Battlefield 3 (£34.99/$69.98) and has made it available for pre-release purchase.

The release date stays the same, but despite no official word from EA, it still looks likely we will see the new addition before Christmas.

I don't know, haven't we seen that kind of tactic used before?
Offer the game for sale without having any idea when it will be released, just to sucker people into pre-ordering.

This is true, but with all the recent things happening it does point to BF3 coming out, I doubt the release date is correct but its only a rumor untill anything offical is said by EA/Dice.

Um maybe the idiots mixed BF:BC with BF3 and think its for PC or BF3 and BF:BC are coming out the same day

But I think they just screwed up

I guess only time will tell. However, i have no desire to buy another Battlefield Console Game, not after Modern Combat.

now you're just digging and hoping there's a problem
if they have it on it's own page im sure they got it right, they're like the biggest gaming store in the UK.
and anyway, who said they were coming out on the same day? it simply says 90 odd days until you can pre-order it, not actually get it.

It will be a good game as long as they don't screw it up with "Stats" again... the mod community tore hell with doing anything or even keeping alot of interest with BF2 mods.

I'm afraid to tell you, the Battlefield series will always have stats.

Not really, what I've seen with COD4 for instance is they put it in to that game but its saved client side and you end to the top rather quickly. At the very least the master server picks up on changes from anyone making a server of the game therefore reporting or not reporting...unlike BF2/2142 that required this trusted server provider sign off or the "Ranked" server providers which over charged from the get go. Why else do you see MyIS renting server instances of BF2 for less than 95cents a slot now, the game is dying off. Those that paid 4$/slot when the game first came out and cornered the player traffic quickly may stay up for a while longer and be populated. With this type of setup you kill the mods or possibilities for players to play to WIN and not the pretty little medals or you pretty much kill the ability for Clans to build without working two jobs to donate to a over priced server.
