Best Place to Preorder Battlefield 3?

[SativaSam]

I'm wanting to preorder Battlefield 3 on Xbox 360 and am wondering what's the best deal for preordering? In terms of bonus DLC, gift cards etc etc.

I know about the buy 5 games get a $100 gift card from Best Buy but I'm not looking to buy 5-6 games for that. Just looking for a preorder deal for Battlefield 3 alone. I know preorders get the limited edition.

idk if they will do the sale again though

Hope a good deal comes up soon.

yeah but even if they don't come up, there will be sales/price drops right after it releases...lots of sales during black friday i bet.

Meh, Battlefield 3 is one of those games I gotta pick up release day, deal or not.

It's been strangely difficult to find deals on Battlefield 3. I'm still waiting...

i have been debating as well. Options I am considering:

gamestop
- back to karkland + physical warfare pack
- i would pick up in store but i am not sure if my store is open at midnight the night before b/c i work the next day so would not get it that day.

origin
- 25% birthday coupon
- back to karkland
- exclusive 2 guns

What I am contemplating:
preorder and pick up at gamestop.
open that copy.
sell origin copy to a friend but keep code for the exclusive guns.
not sure

You're assuming Gamestop won't do this: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6330790/gamestop-discarding-deus-ex-coupons-before-selling-game

GameStop will probably not do that again - at least for a while - when news of that hit the mainstream media it was all over the place and made them look really bad. They apologized and started making some good deals during those days.
