Hi have been asked to get this as a christmas present..so far cheapest i can find is €44.99 in Tescos but Sold Out in my local:( ..

Any good deals around??

Thanks!!

Thats actually a good price for it, to be honest.

My advice would be to wait until closer to christmas to buy it, it will be a lot cheaper. Maybe even by another tenner.

Oh, also, Welcome to boards.

xrta vision sell it with some decent vouchers....

Saw advert for supervalu selling at 45 euro - unusual for them - must be getting into the console market for xmas

If you wait until Christmas you could pick up a good second hand one in fact sometimes game shops have second han copies only a few days after the release of the game. Also if you are a gamer yourself gamestop have a deal with most new releases where if you trade in 3 games off a least of titles you get the new release fore 3 euro. Not sure if this deal is still running though you would have to check their website or in-store .

is there a problem getting online with secondhand games though?

You will probably have to buy an 'online pass'.
Not sure if theres one with BF3. There probably is.

craftypaddy

there is an online pass, it can be bought with microsoft points for 15 euro, so might as well get a new copy

Hey Jryan

I have a new copy of BF3 for the xbox that is an unwanted present. I will sell it to you if you want? I have checked and it says its the limited edition and has a code inside the box for online play and full access to an expansion pack out in Dec called back to Karkand.

4200fps

If I were you buy it up the north and get the limited edition as it is different to the limited edition thats sold in the republic. Why? Because the UK gamers get the extra weapons on it as the edition you buy down here doesnt which is very unfair. You get a code with the game to download the extras. Bit of a tip off for you gamer's

Just to let you know BF3 is an 16 year old game and just as bad as call of duty games.

Full of swearing etc.

Completely incorrect. The edition you refer to is the Physical Warfare pack which is essentially the Limited Edition with some extra code for some guns, namely the Type 88 LMG, instant access to the DAO-12 and SKS sniper rifle. It is not exclusive to the UK as I got it from Gamestop with these.

You might want to read my post again since you obviously have difficulty with comprehension. You will see I mentioned it was the physical warfare pack. I got the Physical Warfare pack from Gamestop for €43 which is the same price as the standard limited edition pack.

In fact many other boardsies got the exact same offer. Are you jealous that you missed out? Lol @ you
