http://investor.ea.com/releasedetail...leaseID=419704 EA Announces Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Limited Edition STOCKHOLM, Oct 29, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ:ERTS), today announced a Limited Edition* release of Battlefield: Bad Company(TM) 2, the premier first-person shooter of 2010. The Limited Edition game features six special gameplay unlocks that give players a tactical advantage on the battlefield from the minute they fire up the game. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has been recognized by critics worldwide for its uncompromising action gameplay, unprecedented level of destruction, vehicular warfare, squad play and open sandbox environments in a modern warfare game. Available while supplies last, the Limited Edition version of the game will be sold at the same price as the standard version of the game with participating retailers in North America on March 2, 2010 and in Europe on March 5, 2010. The Battlefield: Bad Company 2Limited Edition delivers six special customizations early to give players a day one advantage in multiplayer matches. Four vehicle warfare unlocks will immediately enhance the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 best-in-class online vehicle warfare experience, delivering extra firepower, radar, and armor for the vehicles. Additionally, the tracer dart attaches to any enemy vehicle and allows RPG-toting teammates to track, lock on, and destroy their adversary. Seasoned veterans of Battlefield 1943(TM) will be able to immediately re-acquaint themselves with two classic and highly powerful weapons, the M1A1 submachine gun and the M1911 pistol. The full list of six unlocks are as follows: Four vehicle warfare unlocks * Improved Vehicle Armor - An up-armor package is mounted on all vehicle types, decreasing the effect of both explosive and penetrating warheads, significantly improving vehicle survivability. * Supreme Vehicle Firepower - Additional weapon packages are mounted for the driver of all armored vehicles, greatly expanding the range of targets the vehicle can successfully engage and destroy. * Vehicle Motion Sensor - Use this electronics warfare package to locate enemy units in direct proximity to the vehicle. * Tracer Dart Pistol - This magnetic dart attaches to any vehicle surface, allowing squad members to track, lock on, and fire rockets onto moving targets even beyond line of sight. Two classic Battlefield 1943(TM) weapons * M1A1 Submachine Gun - Reliable but heavy this classic weapon is a powerful force in the hands of any Battlefield veteran. * M1911 Pistol - Highly customized M1911 are favored for its dependability and the power of its large .45 caliber round. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available on March 2, 2010 in North America for the Xbox 360(R) videogame and entertainment system, the PlayStation(R)3 computer entertainment system and the PC. The game will be available on March 5, 2010 in Europe.

Amazon No tax and Amazon $$ off next game > G$

Not to mention it would go against my morals to buy from there.

Since it has the worry free lowest price guarantee I'd go ahead and preorder now, just because I think it will increase in price.

That's true, I was hoping Amazon will sell it too since I have $25 in credit I need to spend but the fact is Amazon hasn't added it to their product line-up yet but GS has so it may be exclusive to them with a "limited amount". It doesn't hurt to preorder from GS & then cancel later if a better deal comes available at a lower price

I'm purely buying from Amazon to get the $20 next game credit. I'm gonna sell this copy for a profit. Don't give a damn about this game. (oh, this is the LE edition)

There isn't a $20 credit offer or any credit offer for Bad Company 2 at the moment via Amazon. Their current deal is $57 shipped unless that changes closer to the release date(March 2).

Oh damn... this hangover. I totally thought this was COD MW2. lol

No, ok. Well, I'll definitely be getting this game, but I don't want the LE. I'll be using the $20 credit on this though probably. xD

It seems that they're only really offering additional downloadable weapons, perks, etc...I'm not complaining, for the same price as regular, it's nice, but nothing mind-blowing. Doesn't seem to be any kind of special packaging, etc...

GS will probably just toss in one of those little cards with a redeemable code on it.

I wish, when GS had the exclusive Far Cry 2 LE it ended up being 2-3 non-unique codes that everyone could use to unlock the extra maps and etc.

I also saw the Limited Edition of Bad Company 2 is posted on Barnes & Noble.com so this may not be an exclusive deal to GameStop. As the OP said, I have credit from Amazon & it would be a much cheaper deal than GameStop but I do want the LE perks.

Oh, and I forgot to mention AKS-74 bonus on GameStop.com is exclusive, it was added before the Limited Edition was announced.

Reserve Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and get instant access to the AKS-74 assault rifle for multiplayer action. Firing over 650 rounds a minute, this silent but deadly beauty will give you maximum pwnage over your friends and enemies. Available for online and in-store customers, while supplies last. Online Customers: Code to unlock the AKS-74 assault rifle and redemption instructions will be emailed to reservation customers one day prior to the game's release. Online / In-Store Pickup Customers: A pre-order card with code and instructions for downloading the AKS-74 assault rifle will be arriving in stores shortly before the game's release date.

All the games that are in Barnes and Nobles are shipped by Gamestop. It even says that when you click on the game.

Hope best buy has a similar deal. I hate gamestop.

Check out the EA store at www.ea.com, BF BC 2 limited edition is only $59.99 there, I had some $10 Sim cards left over so I went ahead and used them up to order it. But $60 for the limited edition seems like it is at least $10 off.

I'm never gonna buy from Gamestop and their no-deal-havin', no-discounting ways again. Hard to think of a worse major retailer of games in terms of being able to get any sort of discounts on new-release titles.

The less we buy from Gamestop, the less we support them, and the smaller marketshare they have, the more it'll discourage game companies from blindly signing up deals with them with these stupid exclusive "limited editions" or exclusive maps/weapons and crap like that. Not to say we know if this limited edition is exclusive to Gamestop yet, but it wouldn't surprise me.

This game is awesome

Not really a "deal", and I hate GS but thanks nonetheless. I like how EA did it this time, by giving us the Limited Edition game for the same price as the normal version.

Too bad it couldn't look like a LE game (outer case, extras, etc.).

This. It's also available on the EA Store.

And here's the difference in coverart for the LE and regular edition.

^ That's quite the stark difference!

I'd rather get it from Amazon, but I don't see the LE version up yet.

I hate gamestop!

Why does a guy named retail sucks keep forwarding MSRP and B&M prices?
