Nah, I got 4 as well.

As well as 4 confirmations that I have now been charged. But I was only charged once, so it's all good.

Ha, now that it finished downloading, I double-click the "install" and a button that says "launch origin" pops up, I click that, and origin opens with Battlefield 3 "Ready to download"... What was that 10.95 Gb file then???

Nevermind, I had to manually extract the archive I downloaded to Origin's "Battlefield 3" game subfolder, and now it says "ready to install". Good to go.

Nope it was actually re-downloading it... But all's good now!

EDIT: Ah, cute! They have a "Release Date Check" window...

Does it unlock Monday night at midnight, or what?

RE-EDIT: Looks like midnight on the West Coast, so that's 3 AM here on the East Coast. Gonna be a feat to get up at 2:45 for this!

Well I am in GA, so you can't be far behind. I am not downloading the game until Sunday or Monday anyway, so I never really cared. I just find it odd they felt the need to spam my Inbox about it.
