Edit:
In less than an hour, we generated the money needed to rent two 64-player servers for 3 months.Thanks to all the donors and supporters, check out our GB BF3 clan here.

Original Post:
In order for us to enjoy this behemoth of an FPS the way we should, run in large numbers together bombing the shit out of each other and shooting one another in the face, we should have our own Giant Bomb servers for it!
And so I'm happy to announce that I'll be renting the UK server for us (64 players), with the help of generous and dedicated giant bombers such as Branthog, Rolyatkcinmai, Liber, Roughneck117 among others.
Rolyatkcinmai offered to rent the US server and pay a significant amount of the price, but we should all chip in and help him reach the goal price, as a thank you for his great initiative. Will Smith confirmed that Giant Bomb is going to use this server for the Battlefield 3 TNTs!
I've already spoken to a few people from the community, who are interested in playing BF3 with fellow GBers, and I'm surprised to see the enthusiasm for the game and people offering up to 30$ without asking questions. However, our numbers are going to be big, and we should all chip in with whatever amount of money you're willing to spend, in order to help the servers get off the ground and have a successful launch.
I personally refuse to run this on the pockets of 10 generous people, so let's all chip in and help each other out.
Note We're going for a 3 month rental in advance (not one month), in order to spare everyone the trouble of donating every month, and a single 3-month rental for a server costs 59$. That's 59$ x 3 months = ~175$ for the US server, and the same for the UK server.
Donate as much as you're willing to, to support the Giant Bomb servers with a successful launch, and thanks in advance!
