Both Amazon and EA Origin have updated their sites with details on the Battlefield 3 pre-load, which we now know will be on October 21st. Amazon is showing the pre-load will start at 7am Pacific. Battlefield 3 is set to be released October 25th in North America.

Whats the bet Origin will have regional restrictions in place anyway so we have to wait til the 27th/28th before we even get to start?

From the wording it suggests you'll be able to download it ahead of time but only play once the regional launch occurs anyway - you just save the time of having to make a trip to the local EB/install the game/download it on launch.

As it should be...

At least it won't affect our work week.

Saving it for the weekend and all.
