Battlefield 3 Prices

[philstoke]

Looking at pre buying BF3 and there seems to be a great price difference between companies even considering some are for an actual dvd and other for download
Coolshop is the cheapest at £28 incl delivery with Bee.com second at £28.99 incl delivery, but EA charge £39.99 for a download with lots of other companies in-between
Has anyone used Coolshop or Bee, they seem so cheap and I wonder if prices will go down or up near release time

Seems good

You should go with PLAY

Its £40 per game but you get them atleast 3 days early. I got MW2 1week early and BO 9 days early

Don't buy from Origin >=,(

I think I would rather have a download, at least it cant get lost or delayed in the post, with EA Origin can you burn your own copy to dvd once downloaded as with Steam or would you just have to re-download if needed

I usually get things from amazon or play, whatever is cheapest I don't like going on sites I've never heard of, I was kinda worried at first when I found this site, I didn't trust it and probably wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for the forum
