Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it

E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Battlefield 3 DLC And Premium Service Prices Leaked

Posted on Wednesday, May 30 @ 17:18:22 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

After months of DICE battling to stabilize Battlefield 3 it is ready to start unloading some new content including DLC and a subscription-based service that rivals Call of Duty ELITE. But how much will this all be? Will I have to sell my loved ones to afford it?

Previous to an edit on the latest European PlayStation Blog's store preview, the list of next week's content included prices for two of Battlefield 3's upcoming features: Close Quarters and Battlefield 3 Premium. According to the post Battlefield 3's Close Quarters DLC will cost €14.99, or about $15 U.S. Meanwhile, Battlefield 3 Premium will cost around €49.99, which equates to $50 U.S.

Both prices are right in-line with the pricing model used by Activision with Call of Duty where map packs and Call of Duty ELITE are priced similarly. Now you can spend $160/year on Xbox Live, Call of Duty ELITE, and Battlefield Premium. How fantastic.

Additionally, the post listed both as having a release date of June 4th, so it won't be long before both are released and people begin actually talking about Battlefield 3 again. Start working on your aim and prepare to empty your wallet next Tuesday.

    So the limited edition buyers no longer get DLC for free?

    Ohh, I am glad my lack of understanding on a game gave me two downvotes LOL. Thanks, Jon for the answer.

    2 "special" pay services for 1 game? Youve gone far past fanboy into some kind of addiction at this point.

    BF and COD are just Coke and Pepsi. Same cola just a slightly different flavor and for some reason a **** ton of hate between those that solely favor one over the other but I assume there are people who own both and now will be even more poorer for it.

    Not surprised, they have to compete with CoD in that regard at least.

    Although I am curious as to how many opt for it.

    Ok this is getting way out of hand. I made the mistake of buying CoD Elite because I bought into the hype and was hugely dissapointed with it. Elite and BF3 Premium are nothing but glorified stat trackers and add very little to the actual gameplay. People need to stop buying all this extra **** and DLC because developers are going to get greedier and greedier. Removing maps and content that are already finished from the retail disc just to sell to the customer later on, or even having the content on the disc already and requiring an extra fee to unlock it. It's ****ing bullshit, and I am boycotting this.

    On PC the battlelog, from which you play the game, already has enough stats... so, what exactly will this premium service offer?

    Seeing as DICE already said that the full DLC line up for BF3 is Karkand, Close Quarters, Armoured Warfare and Endgame, what will BF3 Premium actually include? I fail to see how two DLC packages at a reduced price or free (haha EA gives something away without making you pay for it even if you already have! haha) is worth a $50 price tag? All i can think of is maybe weapon skins like the SPECTAT sets in Bad Company 2 or some new dog tags. If this is the case im sorry but FUCK you EA! I have already paid £45 for the limited edition of the game, and if i do choose to buy the next DLC that makes it up to £55 and then if i buy your Elite service thats over £100 to play a game where the servers are controlled by crybaby little kids who kick people that knife them, and a game where it takes me fukin ages to even start playin online because i can never seem to connect to your shity EA online! ! ! I love playing BF3 when it goes right, but ive had enough of this EA ****

    Don't care too much about this premium. What could they offer that isn't already on there? For the DLC, I'm super excited for Close Quarters and the rest. New patch coming out to deal with the M26 Dart queers. But....where's my dinosaur mode? ;P

    no big deal
