Where to pre-order BF4?

Post by Rekaito »

Hey guys, so i read a few of you have already pre-ordered BF4 and i'm thinking about doing it too. I was just wondering where you guys think the best pre-order bonus is.

From my limited (5 min) research it looks like:
Amazon: gets you 1 extra battlepack
Origin: (regular) gets you 1 extra battlepack
Origin: (deluxe) gets you 3 extra battlepacks (for another $10 so $5 per extra battlepack)
Newegg: looks like nothing? but there's no tax :)
Gamestop: an extra 2x exp weekend

Curious if you guys found a better deal and if you think the deluxe edition is worth the extra $10.

Don't buy the digital download or from Origin. For me in the UK it costs £45 from Origin physical/digital and physical off Amazon costs £30 (or 33% less). Origin is a rip off, even if they give you more battle packs or short cuts for BF3.

I just want to note that they sell to South America only. I don't know if you can buy with a proxy or something, but they only officially sell to SA. :(

It doesn't seem to include any benefits though such as the China Rising DLC or Battlepacks. Not a big deal if you intend to buy Premium (even better actually).

I honestly don't get origin's pricing policy ($49.99 = 49.99€ ??). Also I have no idea if it's possible for someone outside the UK to order. Didn't have a problem ordering stuff from Amazon UK before, but have never tried downloadable content (I know it's not possible in the US store).

I would have thought the downloadable stuff would be through Origin. The one I was looking at was standard edition physical and it has China Rising and an eGuide from Prima downloaded from the Prima site. I would assume China Rising was though a redeem code or tied to the disk like in BF3. If you haven't had a problem with getting stuff from Amazon UK posted to you before, I don't see this being any different but I don't really know.

Strange. I was looking at the Battlefield 4 [Online Game Code] which is the same price but doesn't include the goodies. Ordering the hardcopy means added shipping costs for me, and if you order Premium, which I assume most of us would, you'd probably get all that stuff anyway.

I used a company which has since been purchased by G2Play for buying keys once, I imagine this place is also legit to be able to make a purchase like that.

i was planning to order the regular digital edition from a bulgarian site for 45 euros (without china rising or anything) but now they have changed it to a physical pre-order deluxe edition (with a steelcase) for the same ammount and have ruined my plans for purchasing in October.

I ordered from the same place as I ordered BF3, verkkokauppa.com in Finland! :clap:
My order is named: Battlefield 4 - Pre-order Edition
It's not premium but it will cost me about 49 euro including shipping, I can get premium later. :lol:
I got myself a new mousepad as well:

Yes that's legit. I've bought most of my games there including BF3.
