Like I have said and been bitched at about.. It wasnt and shouldnt have been called a beta, it was a stress-test/pr stunt/demo

I agree, I was just saying why the patch wasn't already on the disc'd copies.

Well then it really wouldn't be a Battlefield game lol. Though all humor aside Origin does introduce a whole new factor and yes EA really wants it to be a success. Sorry can't help you with your quandry as I'm a Yank. You should ask on a more region-specific forum perhaps? Perhaps Hardware Canucks even?

There would've been a Day 1 patch anyway. Hell, I guess there should be. More progress; keep fixing and polishing. I'm all for that...

Cause it's even newer code is my assumption.

Me and a buddy made it to GeForce LAN 6. We did not get a copy of BF3 (yet?). Everyone got Dungeon Siege 3 (meh) and a 2nd varied game. I got Just Cause 2 (meh). Was a blast on the USS Hornet!

I'm hoping you at least manned up and partied down with these two? They look easy, you can tell by the postures.

Im concerned! When I preordered BF3 I used my Paypal debit card over the phone with origin support because for some reason origin store will NOT allow me to buy ANYTHING on the webpage or origin its self. So I was checking my paypal and it showed were I preordered payment has expired? So they did not take ANY money?

I preordered through Origin with debit card in September. Now, it seems that these guys are working in mysterious ways. Checked my account some time ago and the money wasn't taken by Origin (Steam charges you immediately). So I have to be careful to have the amount in the account these weeks. Above all this, yesterday Origin had an update and now the prices show in dollars (I live in Europe and had in Euros)

A fair point, and one I will pursue.

Would still appreciate any answers this forum might have of course. Thanks and cheers.

I'm kinda ticked off now. There's no record of the transaction and now I have to wait for a random charge? Awesome.
