I guess that's the trade off for their *usually* lowest prices.

That's the thing though. I never give shipping costs right down the nickel when I make a deal(even on here). Then again, I've had people complain that I should use Paypal and that they wouldn't pay the extra $.40-.50 for me to get Delivery Confirmation from the post office. They were adamant about only paying the $.20 or whatever it was.

To me, if you're gonna nitpick over pennies(even up to $1-2), then I don't wanna bother with you at all since you'll also likely lowball the crap outta me which I find insulting.

Maybe I am being unreasonable by not using Paypal(but then again I also don't have a printer, so I still have to run out to the PO to mail stuff), but unless they pay the percentage of the total I'll lose to fees then I prefer what I prefer for a very valid reason.

If they didn't give me RZ Silver for both my accounts this year, I would likely NEVER attain it, since I never have spent $2k or more at BB(or any store) in one year.

This game never had an online pass. In the limited edition it did come with a VIP pass which included some DLC, such as map packs and game modes.

Ok, this debate over free shipping vs not having free shipping was cute for a while, but it has gotten out of hand. Please don't discuss it any more.

I don't really get it anyway - the game seems to be readily available for store pickup. When it is available at stores in my area I know it is most places (since mine are usually out of these deals pretty quickly - for example the Skyrim CE's were long gone before they dropped to $59.99). So if you don't want to pay for shipping, put in an order for store pickup. You have a week to pick it up.

I bought a copy of Battlefield. Thank you OP. I traded my copy a long time ago, got the Vietnam DLC on the cheap and never played it! Hope to see a good community.

Thanks. Sorry for the dumb question.

As someone who didn't buy the game new either time and has no desire to play the mp AT ALL, the 1700+ mb download would be a huge waste of time for me.

Yeah huge updates is annoying for games that you don't play mp. If you are stuck with the game, go to network setting in the xmb and toggle the internet connection off. Then launch the game and you can toggle the internet connection back on. That way you don't have to update. It won't affect the trophies you earn or anything.

I was going to grab it when I got up earlier today, but it can't be shipped now and my store doesn't have any.

Should have grabbed it last night/early this morning.

If anyone wanted one and wouldnt mind a 360 platinum hits version, I'm willing to get rid of mine for 6.50 shipped. I played it for a few hours to finish the campaign that i had tartrd beforehand and that's it. Pm me if interested.

Thanks OP - got one. First in store pick up order was cancelled by BB - email said it couldn't be found at that store, so I had to pick another store.

Been playing for a few minutes and I am actually liking it better than BF3. Great pick up for $5.

justordered mine from link for in store pickup. heres hoping its not cancelled.

Waiting for Battlefield 3 to hit this price.

Ordered a PS3 copy for in-store pick-up. I enjoyed the BC games quite a bit, and I have yet to try the Vietnam expansion - heard a lot of good things about it too.

If you get Vietnam PM me to squad up. I loved squad death match on hardcore Vietnam. Think its time to back to BC2.
Edit: Any CAG that wants to play add me. I'm going to start playing again. Either system.

You got it for PS3?

Yes going to play now for the first time this year.

Ordered for instore pick up last night. Checked my email this morning and ready for instore pick up. Not the closest best buy, but only one that had a copy.

I was torn between getting it for ps3 and 360. Had the Vietnam dlc on a game share somewhere, but since I bought a 360, it just doesn't get much use outside of shmups and lost planet. Ended up getting it for the 360 in the end.

I'll have to check my copy later to see if it came with the VIP code.

I always have to make that choice, but lately it's been all 360 because for some reason I've been on an achievement craving.

See you in 2015. By then I will already be playing my XBOX 720.
