Can they shit the bed any harder on this release? They have pissed away SO much good will, it's mind bottling.

Wat. They already announced at E3 that PS3 is going to get expansion pack earlier ALONGSIDE BF1943.
Fuck you, EA. Glad I paid less than $40 each.
No, that's a straight up lie! The exclusive early access was announce a while back - long before there was any talk about 1943 not being on the disc.Zombie James said:In lieu of getting a free game, we'll be giving you the opportunity to give us more money earlier.
Like that's somehow an equal substitution? Fuck.

Mechanized said:It's a called a purchase incentive. Early DLC is a viable selling point for the 360 version of COD over the PS3 version.
Free BF1943 was a purchase incentive, IMO a pretty shitty one. Especially if you already own the game, what do you get then? Nothing at all? Whereas now everyone who buys the PS3 version of BF3 gets DLC early over the 360 version.
EA is still way worse when it comes to consumer abuse.Cels said:For a while there, EA was thought to have reformed its ways somewhat and Activision was the new bully in the industry. Guess both of them are bad guys now.

Decarb said:Wait wait, if EA is giving DLC one week early because there's no 1943, then what the hell is this?

It's BS but I can't say I'm upset too much since I already have 1943 on PS3 and went with PC anyways.
cRIPticon said:Yeah! How dare they cut a free game you have already played, the cutting of which does nothing to diminish the new game you are purchasing! If you feel that strongly you should do exactly what you are doing, voting with your wallet. Good for you.

Online passes, for one. They invented them.Cels said:Oh, what does EA do that is so much worse than Activision?
That is actually Sony's honor with one of the SOCOM PSP games.Neuromancer said:Online passes, for one. They invented them.

Withnail said:This is a shitty move. While people can claim this is no big deal it was a pretty sweet incentive, BF1943 is a great game in its own right and it offers something slightly different to BF3. Not everybody owns BF1943 already you know.
I've now cancelled my BF3 preorder. Admittedly I was already thinking of cancelling because the reviews have put me off slightly, but getting BF1943 as well was enough for me to get the game anyway. Now, fuck that. I'll wait till it's heavily discounted if I pick it up at all.
BTW I don't think people can say this is just entitlement when EA and Sony made a big deal of it at E3 and then later neglected to tell anybody that the deal was off. It's a fricking bait and switch.
It saddens me that they can do this and the gaming media aren't calling them out on it.IsntChrisL said:I wish this was getting more attention. The "replacement" is a joke.
