Battlefield Premium - Is it worth it? Who has got it?

When this was first announced, there was a huge uproar and a backlash how this was a attempt for EA to scrounge more money from their consumers. After a trailer was released and some more info was released, the backlash died down. More people got inteested in this as it offered all the expansions packs that will be released (just like VIP pass from BFBC2), new weapons and vehicles, assignments, dogtags and camo. I think this seems good. Has anyone bought this and what do they think of it? Is this worth the money?

I bought it, I figured why the hell not.

I was going to get all of the DLC anyway.

I personally don't see the point as I already have B2K, have no interest in Close Quarters and don't know enough about the last 2 expansions to warrant a purchase. I'll most likely get Armored Kill though.

What I dislike is how EA/Dice is trying shove it down my throat by splashing it everywhere across Battlelogand making me know through the killcam that the guy that just killed me is a Premium player, as if I'm a lesser player. Fortunately I'm immune to that sort of BS tactics.

Priority in server ques, exclusive double xp days, exclusive weapons.

Nothing like applying the free to play buy bonuses model to your non-free game.

If your getting all the DLCs anyway you end up saving money and getting a lot of other extras. I myself am picking it up with my next paycheck.

@topgunmv - Those are just extras. If you only bought BF3 Premium for the maps you would still be saving money.

Already got it. If you're going to get the DLC then you might as well purchase it.

I don't play a ton of BF3 as it is, so I'm leaning on the fence. I've recently gotten back onto PC because lol console games. There was a tempting deal on Origin.

If I could get a discount for already owning B2K I would have already bought it. I'm still not sure.D1zzyCriminal

Nope Only BF3 Fanboys who BTW bashed COD fanboys paying for Elite would support / pay for this crap.

I probably will. They need to stop copying COD so much though, its actually ridiculous how they bashed COD elite then come out with this.

It'll be worth it if they ever fix the game. Until then, it's just DLC for a beta.

If I do get it, it'll be for the ps3 version. Personally, I think things like this should span all the version you have.

EDIT #2: Any PC gamers know if Xfire's reports of number of online players per game is fairly accurate? If so, COD4 looks like it has a healthy community on PC.

I might get it. If most of my region's server support most of the DLC

I'm getting it tonight, since I'm getting all the DLC anyways and love the game, its a great way to save $15 and get a crap ton of extras (like server queue priority and a new knife and dogtag set).

I also want to add that I thought CoD Elite was a great service and I didn't bash it or anything, that was EA and a few morons who didn't know what it was yet. Personally though, I think that $15 for BF3's expansions is a much better deal then $15 for 5 maps and no new weapons or gear or anything in MW3, and the fact that its one time only is nicer as well.

As much as I love BF3 and still play it regularly I don't understand why anyone would get this.

First, there's B2K. I already paid extra for the LE to get it, paying extra again seems dumb.

There's Close Quarters and that's it. Some extra bonuses here and there that don't really warrant the purchase. And 3 DLCs down the road of which we heard very little. Armored Kill we've seen very little. If it turns out as good as they advertise I'll definitely get it, but the truth is that very little was shown. Aftermath and End Game, no news at all.

I paid 34 euro for the LE (pre-ordered). Why would anyone pay 50 euro for 1 DLC plus the promise of 3 future DLC of which you know next to nothing?

for BF 3 veterans and enthusiasts, Premium is a no-brainer, I'm going to get it next week when 360 has access to the CQ expansion. timed DLC is SO annoying.

I just bought it like an dumb ass. I'll let you know if it's worth it at all.

Well, if you do buy it, download it through the store rather than the game so the game won't freeze and potentially corrupt your entire system.

If you're going to buy all the DLC anyway, i don't see why not. I do hate EA with a passion though. They've returned to their shameless selves. Ninja-Hippo

Ditto.
Also, as you all know, EA is terrible. EA has spoken loud and clear about their direction for the future, and I think it's one that's sounding quite unappealing when combined with it being EA saying these things. From the get go Battlefield Premium is providing minor exclusive features and benefits at the expense of those who don't pay up, and I don't really want to find out where EA takes things from there. Especially when it's all attached to one of my favorite games.
