Of course, many people have already done this. But I see alot of people getting mad frustrated because they did not get an invite, like me, and want to play some BF3 for god's sake!

So let me make this easy for those that still need the activation code:

This is for PC ONLY, sorry console users. I have no idea how to get your alpha code.

This took me less that 3 minutes to get the code. All Official EA site. Hurry before EA shuts this down.

Follow these instructions to a tee.

For those that don't already know, Origin is the new BETA version of EA Downloader.

You need to already have an EA account and make sure to have your login credentials ready to go!

Cmon guys. I am seeing lots of people on here that have no idea that this exists or that getting the code is so easy.

Hurry up and get your code before EA closes this down.

The site is updated before the emails are sent out. That's why people are able to get into the alpha by logging into that website; they just haven't gotten the email invite yet.

Geeze, that sucks. I am not getting that at all. Is this restricted to specific regions? God, that would suck. It would be nice if EA/DICE would confirm who can/cannot get it.

They did, they sent an email to the people who got in.

It says from "July 19 to August 1" anyway. Considering that August 1st is less than 24 hours away I really don't see the point in wasting your time downloading a 10GB file for only a few hours of gameplay before the alpha ends.

The file is only a little over 1GB in size.

I'm pretty sure that if it works for you, you either got an invite but didn't get the email, or they haven't sent you the email yet.

It's not that anyone can get it. Only a few are able to get it. I actually checked on wednesday if I got a code and I did. I wasn't sent an e-mail or anything...until just today. The only people getting the codes are people who's accounts are flagged for it (e-mail confirms that.) Not everyone can get the code.

Also, the alpha ends on August 1st anyway.

False, my two friends that live in the same city as me tried and didn't get in. You were probably on a list of people who were going to be invited but you probably didn't get your email yet, or your email program marked it as spam or something like that.

I checked my email and spam folder. Nothing in there. it is just possible I never got any invite sent to me, but that my email was flagged. Oh well, it ends in 24 hours anyhow.

Mine came nearly 2-3 days after I got in through the website.

no... If you are invited you can log in, thats how it works.
