yes. i got the same for the scorcher too, in king of the hill. the guy complained and I messaged him back telling him next time I will not use a weapon and let him take the hill...

as for bf3, waiting for the open beta to play around a bit.

I keep getting stuck on rocks or holes in the ground. It's extremely frustrating. I also keep getting a weird glitch when I reload. My character reloads, but the animation doesn't happen. The more I play the more glitches and rough spots I see. With less than a month to go...I don't know. We'll see.

I'll try that for sure, I didn't figure the beta would have many options, I just jumped in and played. Kind of funny in 2011 "Stereo Off" is the default. I have a 10" sub next to my couch and the tank cannons on BC2 are insane!

I know, which is why I said 'open' it to beta and they probably will in a week or so.

it sucks no retailer is doing gift cards, unless u count BB 5 for 100$

I just played the beta on 360 on my roommate's Xbox. Compared to the PS3 version, the 360 version seems much better. I didn't run into any bugs (maybe I just didn't play long enough?). The graphics didn't have all the jaggedness the PS3 version had. The graphics seemed better looking.

added $10 gift card to GameStop PC download. Thanks, TwistedOrange.

Amazon digital download has it at around 42 dollars right now.

I just saw this. I can say, my $20 credit from GoW3 does not work with the pc digital download. It does work for the hard copy though. I'm also wondering if we get the bonus expansion pack with the digital download like the hard copy. It doesn't say.

Damn you Amazon. I could save like $5 over a newegg preorder but then I wont have a hard copy and have to spend a few days downloading it, decisions

I'm hoping for something good from Kmart or I'll stick with my Newegg pre-order.

Nice Just the deal I was looking for from Amazon. Placed my preorder for the PC DL. IMO that's a better deal than just $20 credit.

Sweet!

Will cancel my Amazon $49.99 retail box pre-order.

Screw the dog tags. Ahh never mind, you also get the dog tags with this version too.

I'm done with collecting boxes anyways.

Does the PC download version for Amazon also receive the Back to Karkand map pack?

Yeah, I just submitted my cancellation to Newegg. A $20 credit is nice but I would rather have some money off the game now because I don't know if I will want to buy more games in November seeing I have 3 games already paid off at Best Buy. $42 is nice and since everything goes through Origin might as well spend the day downloading it since Newegg ed around a day getting my Rage to me so I would guess it would take about the same time anyway.

Yeah it does, or at least I am like 99% sure it does. Amazon lists it on the Battlefield 3 page and I am assuming all preorders get it.

Feel free to ignore if people think I am off-topic. For those of us still considering where to pre-order for the consoles, what are people's opinions in terms of pre-order bonuses? Specifically which one do you think is best and why?

I've read that the Physical Warfare Pack are just early unlocks. As you level up, you will get all of those items. If true, then the Gamestop bonus might not be all that great. I haven't found any further news about the other pre-order bonuses, hence my question. Thanks in advance for any advice.

This was a promotion that was set up pre-dating our digital offerings, all promotions moving forward should apply correctly. Sorry for the confusion. Send me a PM though when you get a chance.

Sorry for this mis-communication, it absoultely comes with the same pre-order bonuses as the physical copy. The message you saw, or didn't see, was my miss and should be up now.

Cheers,
Tony
