If you still have yet to preorder BF3 Amazon dropped their price to $50.

you almost made me buy it! but then i remembered the DRM thing and how you need to go onto a website to launch the game and it like never works.....

Pretty sure the launching from Battle Log thing was beta only. They say they have moved almost all of the stuff that Battle Log did in the beta into the game including but not limited to finding servers and squad management.

It still requires Origin though, even though so far it's pretty much just like running a second copy of Steam that I just ignore unless I want to play something there.

It's still releasing on steam later, yea?

Hatred.

this is actually a price increase. It was $41 a week and a half ago. Preload starts the 21st at amazon

Annoying... No new EA games on steam...

There were rumors that EA and Steam had worked out there differences and that it might be coming to Steam. If it does, I really hope we can use our CD keys in Steam as I would prefer to have all my games in one place, but I really doubt that will happen.

The dvd requires origin too?

From what i heard all versions require origins.

The download version was cheaper because you don't have media or shipping costs. Some people want the media so they don't have to d/l such a big file.

Call me when a Steam version without Origins is available.
