EDIT: please note, this is for a CDKEY not a delivery of the game.
Go to Origin to download the game for free and then use this CDKEY to activate it.

Also Note:
1) When you pay by paypal, then next screen has your code on it. I recommend saving the code straight away, so you dont lose it.
2) Aparently in stores now you cant get the limited edition version of the game anymore. As that was a pre-sale special, now that the game is out in stores you need to pay an extra $15 for the limited edition expansion pack. So if you get this, you save another $15 on top of the $99!! :)

Hey all, I missed out on the group buy thread, but I just got my key for the BattleField 3 Limited Edition (EU version) from GreenmanGaming for $48.80.
This is selling for $99 at JBHiFi! So that price is 50% off!

May not be the cheapest cd key place to get it from but i wanted the EU (European) not the RU (Russian) version. Plus they are a trustworthy site. If you get the RU version you need to mess around with installing language packs which i cant be bothered with.

I read the forum rules and believe this post is within the rules as it is not spam, i am not affiliated with this company in the UK, i am just passing on a great deal I found for getting BF3 Limited Edition for less than half price! Especially since there are other threads explaining great deals on this amazing game!

Note: if you access greenmangaming using my referer URL, then you will get a $2.00 credit for your next purchase, as will I. So we both get $2 credit on our next purchase.

Steps to get it for $48.80 @ greenmangaming:
1: Either go to the GMG site
MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE UK version of the site AS THE US version checks your region is in US.

2: Register a new account or Login to your existing account by clicking on "LOGIN / REGISTER"
(when registering your email address you register with must match your paypal email address otherwise it wont let you pay by paypal)

3: Look for the BF3 Limited Edition game and click buy.

4: Then on the purchase page enter the code: GMG10-PERCE-NTOFF

5: Tick the terms and conditions box and then pay by paypal

6: Once you finish the paypal payment (login, select confirm etc), you are redirected back to greengaming.co.uk and your KEY is given to you straight away on that page.

And thats it. Use the Code and your live playing BF3 Limited Edition online or single player.

If you used my referrer code then your account should be credited with $2 to spend on your next purchase, as will mine = sharing the love baby! :)

P.S its a very trusted site and you can use paypal for payment = win!

Nope. Its actually region free via their UK site. So you can get it from their UK site.

If you try their US site (.com) then it checks your region and wont let you get it.

but their UK site is now accessible via Australia! Dont need to use a proxy service or anything.

I signed up and got my key straight after I paid via paypal.

Ohhh, I felt special circumnavigating the IP checker. Put a VPN on, put BF3 in my basket, then turned VPN off and proceeded to buy game.

The greenmangaming thing worked fine, thanks. Much better than getting an RU version from dodgy sites.

Only wished Origin didn't suck so much. Wouldn't update automatically to see the game after I activated it, had to manually download the latest version. Even then it's flaky as.

I can't even log in or create an account. It's telling me that my email is already linked to an account so I go to password recovery and it sends me a code to put in. Put the code in, change the password and it tells me my Origin ID is invalid, which I have no fucking clue what that might be other than my email address.

They don't give you a contact email for help, just an online chat which you have to log in to.

If you don't mind paying the extra $10 to get it locally, Dungeon Crawl have the limited edition for $60 (Next week). Not sure what greenman is like on shipping times but if they're anything like ozgameshop, I guess you'd get it some time before the end of the year. Took about a month for my copy of Rage to turn up from ozgameshop.

Is it an issue your having getting your key from greenman gaming or an issue with your key on origin?

Neither, it's an issue with logging in or creating an account with Origin. I tried it again and it said their password recovery server couldn't be contacted so I think they might be having issues so I'll try again latter.

No problem all!!

Would have been nice to get referrals for this too. But hey i understand trog didnt want that.

If you used my referer code then you and I would be getting $2 of game credit from greenman gaming.

Oh well, glad to hear everyone saved some money like i did!!

if your feeling nice and want to use my referer code, maybe trog wont mind if you pm me for it (so i dont advertise it on the forum)

all the best guys,

I removed the referral bit of his URL when I pasted it prior to purchase.

I hate the idea of referrals - just give the info out for free like everyone else!

I bought the Limited Edition from cdkeysdiscount.com a few days before launch, got the key less than a minute after the order was complete. Cost me $45 AUD.

Their site is down for maintenance at the time of posting though.
