Battlefield Premium Launches June 4 at $50 for North America

[Anarchy1]

I may actually get it. For $50 (less than a new game), you are getting more maps than the base game, more weapons, more vehicles, early access, exclusive stuff, INCREASED PLATOON EMBLEM PLAYERS!?!?!, etc. I wasn't going to get CQ, but if I got this, I would "lose" $5 compared to if I bought the other 3 DLC separately, but then for that $5, I would get CQ anyway and all the additional benefits. Well done, EA

Doesn't it include their "Shotcuts"? Not much Premium about it if they exclude that content.

That actually doesnt seem that bad for $50. Im now considering it especially as it has a few pros over just being 5 pieces of DLC.

Exclusive Double XP weekends..? What the fuck is that DICE.. but in all honesty.. I think 5 expansion packs for $50 is a good deal. If it's true ofcourse, but sounds legit none the less.

According to a fact sheet obtained by BF3 Blog, it appears as though June 4 will be the release date for the Battlefield 3 Premium service. Contrary to what the prices are reported to be across the ocean, it looks as though Premium will just be $50 (USD) for those in the States.

Does this make the Premium service more enticing to you? It's now apparently confirmed that Aftermath will be another piece of DLC that was previously unannounced. It also grants you two weeks of a head start on each DLC release over those who don't have Premium, and it's $10 less than we all initially thought.

If they price each of the remaining four DLC pieces at $15 each, you would save a total of $10 by going Premium than if you paid for them all separately. This is, of course, assuming this is all true.
