No email here. I'll check on Origin.

EDIT: No email, no Origin, I don't even see the damn beta displayed on Origin. If anyone does I would be surprised.

11 more hours and I doubt not a minute before. There is no mention of recieving an email according to the official BF3 beta page. If you preordered it will show up in the free games list.

I got my pre-order from Gamestop so I wont get the "early" access. No worries however. I doubt the bandwidth will allow many of you to get it ether lol

Hey guys and gals!!! Just FYI, when installing the beta Nvidia drivers you get a nice series of BF3 pixies during installation! Wouldn't tell otherwise but they are really nice!

Why would anyone want to turn that on? It is a negative attribute.

That was for helping with the Alpha. You didn't get a free game as you ordered before me, no?


To everyone else, calm the hell down. It is just a game and a beta release at that. I do not plan on losing any sleep over this or post random "I didn't get my stuff yet, waaaa waaa waaa." Could we please act like adults here.

Hello Folks,

I have only just got off the line with EA in terms of getting some response to you guys about your Early Access Emails!
I've been receiving quite a bit of emails/private messages in regarding this lately, and the best response we can give right now is as follows.

Electronic Arts will be sending emails out with redeemable codes inside them, you will then go to this site and redeem the code in order to get access to the Early Access promotion.
Electronic Arts have already started sending out those emails, however most of you will start receiving your emails by midnight tonight(09/26/2011) in order for you to have them in your inbox by tomorrow morning (Tuesday 09/27/2011).

What are the requirements in order to receive Early Access?
In order to qualify for Early Access you must have played Medal of Honor Tier 1 or Limited Edition online and redeemed your Online Pass, or you must have pre-ordered Battlefield 3 via Origin before the 25th of September.

When will I get my email?
Sometime between Midnight tonight(most likely PST timezone) to the early hours of Tuesday morning.

What is in this email?
Information on how to redeem your key, the redemption key, and also a link to the redemption website.

Which email is this being sent to?
The email will most likely be sent to your EA Master Account's email, if you have linked your gamer profiles to that email.

Misc..
Emails will be sent to individuals who participated in the Medal of Honor T1/Limited Edition (Xbox 360/PC) promotion with information on how to redeem.

Emails will also be sent to the Origin BF3 Preorder users via their email, with information regarding that.
You will also receive a email if you purchased Medal of Honor via Steam prior to the 25th of July. Your key will be within your Steam Library -- right click Medal of Honor and then click "CD Keys" your code will be listed within that.

Currently I have no details as to wether Playstation 3 users will receive a email, you should see Battlefield 3 automatically popup within the PSN Network by tomorrow! (If you qualified, by the above).

__________________
Hope this helps some of your questions, if any more please don't hesitate to make a thread or private message any of the Battlefield moderators, and we should be able to provide information -- if we have it

PS; As always don't forget to keep an eye on Demize99's twitter, Zh1nt0's twitter, Our Battlefield Facebook page and also to reread the FAQ visit here.

Regards,

T0TALfps.

Sounds like EA/DICE doesn't know what is going on. Read here: http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield3/1/beta

And what's this? The date now says the 29th instead of the 27th for some reason.

You again?

Anyway...there should be no more confusion. Early access is later on the 27th; emails should start arriving tonight. Official is the 29th.
