I want a disc copy of the game and I've never pre-ordered a pc game before. I don't have a gamestop in my town that carries PC games. I want to get it as soon as possible so where do you guys pre-order your pc games when you get disc copies.

I think you can do it at Amazon.com

Though pre-ordering I cannot recommend. I have learned my lesson on buying games before they come out, and right when they come out!

If you want the game immediately upon release, you're going to want a digital copy. Waiting for the package to arrive is unbearable, and sometimes it never arrives. :?

my internet just sucks so bad........If I go digital do they let you download it before hand and then they just unlock it on the day or do you have to download it that day too.

It's theOpposite for me.

I pre-order a physical copy if I want to play a game 1 or 2 days early :P

You can pre-order a physical copy online at just about any retailer that carries video games... I personally just use Gamestop.

So your local Gamestop won't order you a copy of BF3 for PC? That seems weird :0

D2D, 25% off at that particular time, they have nearly weekly 20% off's.

But physical stuff? I hate physical media, tend to lose bits... so dunno 'bout that.

I was originally waiting on steam to preorder, but I heard it's not going to be on steam so I'm looking up other options and 45% off sounds sweet.

With d2d is that something I have to register on origin? Also this is the limited edition? I hear that's the version which gives back to karkand free.

Probably gamestop. I have some credit I can use there. I am bit worried that they wont have the preorder stuff when I pick it up. Sometimes gamestop is pretty bad about giving everyone their stuff

It depends on the game and the DD service.

Amazon.com normally has it there the day it comes out. But I have a GameStop near me where I preorder most of my things.

It's a shame people in this day and age still buy games and thus support the piece of trash company that is GameStop.

Maybe they will still let you pre-order, and let you pick the game up at the store on launch day.

Of course people buy games. That's why developers keep making them.

I did read your post, and it doesn't make any sense. Gamestop only benefits when you buy from Gamestop, not when you buy games, period.

I'm getting it at Gamestop for the Strike at Karkand pre order. I went to my first midnight launch there for Modern Warfare 2 and it ruled, but this time I wantt o be better prepared.

Nothing like catching a cold in freezing autumn weather with nothing to eat but a single egg roll from the next door Chinese place.

Dude, u have expression difficulties...even if i understand what you meant...what YOU wrote is completely different from what u meant...

@Falconoffury I think you know what he meant...no reason to act so cocky...

On topic now...Iam one of those guys(very few) who will not get BF3 just because is not on Steam...

I don't know at this point. I wanted to buy it from steam, but guess that's not happening. Probablly amazon if they have some kind of a deal. Not that they game will be the best thing ever, but it's going to be a fun game to show to friends.

Most likely D2D, maybe the actual EA store if they don't charge me tax
