    Then tomorrow it's back to $40. Just wanted everyone to know. Don't care if this is a repost. I didn't see it.

    Hoping more sheeple will run towards the overpriced DLC most likely. Game is def worth $10 though, no reason not to get this.

    Yeah...I've spent $110 on the game so far. But for the amount I've played it I'm not too mad. A lot of games I've spent $60 on and played less than 30 hours. I'm almost @ 150 hours in BF3 and really enjoy the DLC.

    Yup, finally bought it too. You just can't pass $10 for BF3, even though I swore I wouldn't buy any games outside of Steam... EA is driving a hard bargain this time, impossible to say no.

    Fair enough, if you play a lot and you like it seems like money well spent.

    I think DLC packs in BF3 are rock solid so far, I hope armored kill (and looks very promising) will continue the trend :)

    Might be worth a go for $10 since I've no interest in multiplayer.

    AK is pretty cool! Been playing all week.

    Everything I saw said today only.
    I don't know if SP is worth $10 to be honest. It's good looking but that's about it.

    What's the point !? To existing BF3 customers, they're still ripping us off on the BF3 Premium pricing anyway! Not to mention, their supposed "Store-wide 50% off" Origin offer didn't cover Premium either!

    I was pretty bummed the store wide 50% sale didn't work. Oh well...I got it for 20% off and feel it was worth it.

    I can tell you based on my experience that the single player isn't worth $10.

    IMO, BF3 should be considered Multiplayer only. I haven't even touched the single player, and I don't plan to. I haven't bought any of the DLCs except for B2K, which came free with my pre-order. I don't feel I'm missing anything, though - I only ever play on Caspian, Kharg, and Wake Island. The other maps are either too small, or copies of each other (the others in B2K felt that way).

    Hmm, according to Battlelog, I've only spent 65 hours playing this game so far. Sure feels like a lot more than that, considering I've put ~200 hours into Skyrim in the last month or so. I probably played BF3 just as much when it first came out.

    And don't forget the wonderful mandatory browser plugin, because there is no in-game menu

    I've gotten used to Battlelog, except for the part where it requires manual updates to be able to play the game sometimes. If it had an auto-updater, it would be much better.

    Is this offer still available, because when I go origin I don't see anything about this. Is this maybe because I'm from Europe and I have to change the IP? If I do this can I still buy it?

    The 10$ sale did include multiplayer - it just didnt include any of the DLC stuff that you'd get with premium

    I thought about it.. but the DLC would run $75 bucks and you get all of it with the BF3 Premium Edition... Then I realized BF3 Premium doesnt include the original game so I just passed for now.
