Thanks OP!

This worked on my $10 copy of bf3 I got from bbv by buying a $5 mag!

I hope no one gets banned, the price clearly stated "free".

Anybody take a picture of it they can share so we have proof?

I have the limited edition for PS3. I was able to unlock premium. It downloaded 3 100k files: premium unlock, welcome back, and the online pass (again). I'm back in the store now trying to actually download the map packs but the listing won't load now...

Definitely made me a premium member though as my main tile screen has changed.

It would be hilarious if all of you got banned and you come on here crying and thinking you have some sort of leg to stand on as if you don't full well know that this is either a mistake or a glitch.

Just now? or you mean earlier?

Oh you poor fool, this is EA your talking about. The company that started the 10 dollar online passes. the company that makes you pay for DLC even though the DICE leads hated paid for DLC just 2 years ago.


plus any of you claiming it was FREE are clearly wrong why offer it for free on the consoles and not the PC version. The console versions likely operate on a different system then the PC one does which explains why PC wouldn't be affected and is rather good proof it was a glitch or someone messed up.

Plus what are you going to do sue EA which would cost more then the DLC is even worth? Yup, good luck on that.

you have to exit out and enter back in then hit the premium tab next to all and you can d/l the maps

I snapped one for my invoice page of Armored Kill for $0.00 before downloading but I didn't bother with taking ones of the main Store page or the description of the Welcome Pack. It states in more than one place that it's free.

If they fixed it, I barely managed to squeeze in. Will possibly post it tomorrow if I have time and motivation.

Sounds like EA's problem, not mine. If an advertised price was "free" and I got it for "free" we've done nothing wrong.

That being said, if this works out for us then I feel bad for those who paid...

Hope they don't sudden make charges to your bank account for this

Sounds like if you get banned, it'll be all your problem, hahah.

Good luck to you guys though.

That would be even more interesting because anyone who files a credit card dispute gets their PSN account banned. With that said, I highly doubt they'll do that. That seems like people would actually have a legitimate claim against EA.

That would be illegal lol. Plus, not everyone has a CC attached to their account.

This is EA we are talking about tho, so who knows -_-

So I'm definitely a premium member now but when I try to download the map packs it just hangs on "Retrieving data, please wait..."

Anyone else?

Before I saw this thread, I just thought it was a new PS+ Promo. Hope I don't get banned :|

Is there like a double XP weekend or something going on?
