If this is true...
I know some will complain, but the alternative (for regular users of bf3)is to buy each dlc on their own...
So look at the karkland dlc, look at the other dlc's which will be at the same price each, then look at the rumoured price...it may work out cheaper, but it won't be good value unelss you get good use out of the lot.
Otherwise stay clear trophy only players/those who don't play bf3 much/infantry/vehicle only players (gotta be an allstar to use them all, as you may know the close quaters dlc is infantry focussed while armoured kill is vehicle made, can't be one or the other or its a waste ;) ) |

£35 is a good price in my opinion.
The only problem for me is the timing. Close Quarters DLC is rumoured to be released on the 1st of June (1 Week Early for PS3) but Premium is the 29th?
That would mean people not willing to buy both would have to wait almost another month for their DLC pack. Personally I think I'll have to buy both, at times I think I have more money than sense. |

| there is no real savings if you got the limited edition. Some of the extras thu are providing aren't putting to much icing to sweeten the cake up. |

| I'll probably get it to save money and because I play B3 almost every day, but I'm pissed off with early access to the DLC. I want as many people to be playing it as possible, not a handful (unless a crap-load buy the premium service as well). |

So I got B2K for free since I preordered, which means there are 4 DLCs left at $15 each. There is no incentive for me to buy the premium pass since it'll cost me $60 to buy them individually anyways. I don't care about dog-tags or weapon skins...
And premium comes out after 2 DLCs have already dropped? Those fuckers at EA need to get their shit together, it seems Battlefield is catching a case of COD.
R.I.P. BF3, let's hope BFBC3 fairs better... |

| hmmm... mix opinions of this. My taste of Battlefield is dying and I'm not sure if I'll get Premium, I prob just buy the DLCs as I think it cost me a little more that usual |

| I'm not really sure if I feel like its worth it this late in the game. If there was a 6th DLC that we got it would make it completely worth it but having already released (and gotten for free) B2K I see no reason to jump on this other than to get purchasing everything out of the way. |

| It's a little late for this... New DLC is fine, but they had to release this when the game came out. But I think I will get this. |

| why can't gamer devs just put everything on one single disc on launch instead of being a cash cow with all this add-on crap. its not fair you have to pay 50-60 bucks more just to get the best out of a game. |

@12 they aren't treating us like cash cows they're just giving us the same treatment PC owners have had all along. PC gamers have had addons since I can remember, my first being Doom II Heaven II. There's a difference between true add ons/post launch DLC and day one/on disc DLC.
When its post launch DLC you're paying for the man hours that have been put in since the launch of the game. Buying the game wipes the slate of 2-3 years of development cost +minor profit, DLC is paying for that extra year worth of man hours and increased profit. As long as my money gets pumped back in the flow I could careless how much they ask for because I always have the choice to not download it. |

way overpriced is my first thought, but if each DLC set will cost 15 euro, it's not that bad. Ether way I'll probably buy it anyway:P Can't miss out on battlefield stuff now can we;) Luckely we have some time to deside, but I definitly want to hear what dice says it's gonna include, coz this really sounds like a sales pitch...
I mean 20 new maps, the 4 we got with karkand are probably in there already, same for the weapons and most likely the asignments... |

@14: Well, PS3 supports 50GB-Discs, which is quite a lot of space ;)
So, who is supposed to buy this? Die hard fans probably all got the LE with the Karkand DLC, second DLC comes out almost a month before Premium and will be bought by them near release. Leaving you with 2 DLCs and some skins for double the price. Don't sure if early access is worth it.
It's not even a good offer, if you don't have any DLC yet IMO.
CoD Elite offers more than that and is even cheaper. |

@18 - I wasn't implying that a PS3 disc couldn't support all that content (although Xbox would have a more difficult time). What I was implying is that if anyone honestly expects DICE (or any developer for that matter) to include all the aforementioned Maps, a single player campaign and 6 Co-op missions for £39.99, then they are living in an absolute fantasy land.
I mean I'd love it to happen but you have to be realistic about these sort of things |

Uhmm, I hope EA gives a discount for those who buy Close Quarters before Premium if they're gonna have such terrible scheduling.
Also, is this taken directly from EA, or just rumor? I could of sworn End Game was supposed to come out before the unannounced 5th Expansion apparently called Aftermath. |
