Battlefield 3 US pre-order bonuses revealed

Battlefield 3 pre-order bonuses for Amazon, Best Buy and GameStop have been revealed.

[Pandamobile]

Yeeessssss, dinosaur dogtag :D

[DaTruth]

I generally hate preorder bonuses, but this sounds okay. If it's something that doesn't really effect the gameplay, then that's cool!

But the Lightning hook in Infamous 2 is f'in amazing and it sucks that some people were denied that, even though I got it. I forgot about it and played my first playthrough without it; damn I had fun on my second playthrough thanks to that and you can use it to wrack up more stunt experience points!

[Solid_Snake-]

if these were real i would wear them all the time as i think more advertising of dinosaurs in video games needs to be done.

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

Im glad i pre-ordered at gamestop. :)

[thematrix1298]

I think it's dumb that pre-order bonus are exclusive. I think all of those that buy the game should have same experience. Looks like GameStop has the best bonus because you all those exclusive weapon attachment. Stupid PR by EA to only give it to GameStop

[DeadlyFire]

Glad I pre-order at Newegg.com. Don't give a crap about pre-order bonuses!!!!!!!!!

[NeoTribe]

umm the map pack addon is 15 bucks worth of bonus so i hope u atleast get that.

[Dart89]

Free prima guide here i come.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

Damn I preordered on newegg D:

I want a T rex dogtag

[Ducky]

... is the SpectAct kit like BC2 where you actually get 4 new loadout slots?

... also, does Origin have some special bonus? I have a 25%-off coupon for Origin that I want to use. =/

EDIT: Just checked Origin, they updated it. You get a PhysicalWarfarePack from there.

[EazyC]

No, they put your gun in black. And some different camo.

That's not a joke, I swear.

[EazyC]

I thought it would come with a McDonalds XL Meal.

[KillerPwned]

What are the dog tags suppose to do? I preordered off of amazon just for free release date shipping plus no tax :).

[jriquelme_paraguay]

Dogtags dance in the Battlefield near you

[Brownghost]

you collect them from knifed enemies who pre ordered it at amazon you ever play BFBC2?

[FlareDReborn]

DARN IT!! I dont do amazon and i want the dog tag T_T...

But guys question where should i pre-order. Best buy are Gamestop?

[Elwenil]

Amazon.

[Swiggins]

You want skins, go Best Buy

You want a few extra guns, go Gamestop.

I'm going Gamestop for the free strategy guide and the firepower pack.

[Elwenil]

But he wants the dog tags, not the skins or extra weapons.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Amazon is the only place I will "pre-order" a game as they don't charge you anything to do it..just take the card number and will run it the day it ships. I don't like giving Gamespot money to just sit there. They earn interest on my money for only a promise of a game readily found elsewhere and some token of in game content like a skin, etc...

[Convas]

Pretty much this.

Another added benefit with Amazon is the rebates they offer. Thanks to the deal they are running with Gears of War 3 w/ $20 Rebate, I'll be able to get Battlefield 3 for $40. Amazon is a GREAT deal, especially with release day shipping for 99 cents on most big name titles.

[Bay]

For a second there, I thought they were real, physical dog tags...that would've been pretty good.

[Ducky]

The physical warfare pack doesn't have any physical warfare either. =(

[mafiahajeri]

So what you want them to send you an actual gun!?

[Swiggins]

^ Yes, Yes I would!

XM8 Assault Rifle Plz!

[malol]

lol
i think the ppl that dont know the whole dinosaur thingy wont get it

but this is an EPIC win

[jessupj]

Pity amazon doesn't ship to australia.

[darksied]

Eh, I think Amazon has the worst bonuses, but they don't charge tax like Best Buy or a pre-order fee like Gamestop... what to do....

[Rearden]

Actually the dog tags and the specact kit are preferable, since everyone will eventually get the physical warfare pack later this year.

[Moragami]

Yeah, I played somebody in the Alpha who had already unlocked the PWP flechettes, it really can't be that exclusive.

The dogtags confuse me, do enemies get to see my special dogtags when they kill me? So they kill me and then get to say "oo, look he's got a dino dogtag?"

Or when I knife some fool, do I get the dino dag tag? This makes NO sense to me.

[Rearden]

Dog tags are just like a special avatar or profile that is displayed every time you kill an enemy.

[AO1JMM]

I'll stick with the Origin preorder bonuses with early access to the Beta in september North America Origin exclusive?). The Physical Warfare pack and the Back to Karkand maps are also part of the bonus along with some beret and shotgun for BF F2P..

[synchroscheme]

Physical warfare pack doesn't interest me too much because you're really only getting the unique Type 88 LMG. The shotgun is only first day access, meaning it's normally unlocked later on and I can't imagine the flechette ammo or sniper rifle suppressor being too useful.

The dog tags and extra skins may only be aesthetic but they're fun to show off and hey, what better way to include dinosaurs on Battlefield than to show it off to every person you kill?

[Brownghost]

who cares of teh physical warfare pack it just an early bonus that i can unlock later in the game now the skins and dotags, those are special

[timsobuff]

How would anyone even see the extra dog tags? That seems kinda lame.

[sprayNpray]

I was really hoping anyone other gamestop and EA's origin would get the physical warfare pack.

Sigh.

[Bolts]

What is the point of dog tags other than to reward the guy who just pwned you?
