Localized retail sites for "Coolshop" both in Danish and the UK have listings for a Battlefield Premium for Battlefield 3. Now, the concept of Battlefield Premium is old news by now but the pricing is new to everyone. Both sites list Battlefield Premium at 369 Danish Kroner and 34.96 GBP, both of which convert to roughly $60 USD.
It should be noted that DLC entitled "Aftermath" was included, a DLC pack that was previously unannounced. Right now, the Battlefield Premium access will include the following perks.
Curiously, an unannounced fifth DLC pack, Aftermath, was included in the initial listing for Battlefield Premium. It was listed as coming in "late 2012" placing it between Armored Kill and End Game. Official details will come during EA's E3 2012 press conference on June 4.
Of all the stupid ideas they could have ripped from the Call of Duty franchise, this idea of a "premium" service priced at $60 (!!!) is probably the DUMBEST one. Assuming you already have B2K, either free or paid, you'll be paying $60 for either three-four upcoming expansions.
If they're priced at $15 a piece as B2K was, you would only have to pay $45-$60 for them separately anyway! You are getting NO savings by buying them all at once! In fact, the only thing exclusive you would get are a few skins, camos, and "early access" to the DLC.
You know, at least with other online packages like this (Rockstar Pass, Saints Row 3's Season Pass) you pay a flat rate and get all of the DLC releases as they come out. These other online package deals are priced so that you pay less than if you purchased each DLC release separately. What a complete slap in the face of every Battlefield fan out there.
