I don't think you understand. This is a bonus exclusive to certain retailers, being GAME and Gamestation. Both have BF3 listed for £30. If you pre-order from ANYWHERE else you will not get these weapons or map EVER (if what they say is true).

Oh no, a retailer made a deal with a publisher in order to try and increase profits. What a disaster. (/sarcasm)

Honestly don't see the big deal. If you want the content, buy from those outlets. If your not fussed, or think this is a dick move, don't buy from there and buy in other places and accept the lack of DLC. Not difficult to understand. If it costs the same at GAME as opposed to other places such as Play.com and Amazon, in what way does it actually effect you other than having to go into a town instead of having it shipped?

EDIT - You can actually order online and get the content, so I would be interested in seeing how it actually effects anything.

EDIT2 - The above posts are also a little misleading - that flacette ammo is only useable on the DAO-12 shotgun, not every weapon. The DAO-12 is also a day 1 unlock for pre-orders, but will be unlockable once others have ranked up.

It costs £30 at those retailers, other places have it for less than £25. You are paying for more maps/weapons.

What the fuck's the problem then £30 is still a decent price for a brand new game.
