The PC version, of course.

Battlefield 3
Game » consists of 15 releases. Released Oct 25, 2011
Battlefield 3 is DICE's third numerical installment in the Battlefield franchise. It features a single player and co-operative campaign, as well as an extensive multiplayer component.
What version of the game will you be getting?
I'm not sure whether I should buy this Limited now, or wait for it to come out on steam. Digital Distribution via Steam is really the main way i shop. How bout all of you?

It would depend on my situation I guess. For the next year, I'm most likely not going to have a console so I'll probably just get it on PC.
If I had a free choice, it would come down to the features that matter to me. Player counts don't really matter to me, but if there's some meaningful difference in content then I'd choose that version.
I'm getting this: http://www.webhallen.com/spel/pc/99046-battlefield_3-limited_edition
Since every retail box being produced in the first 3 months will be 'Limited Edition', as per usual with EA games these days, every Day 1 buyer will get a Limited Edition.
I'll get the PC Limited Edition. Maybe even a collectors edition, if there's gonna be such a thing. I might get the PS3 version too, depending on review scores. There's definitely gonna be quite a difference in gameplay between the console and PC versions. PC version supports 3x more players than the console version.
Luckily I'm prepared for it hardware wise. Really looking foward. Hoping there's gonna be native gamepad support for vehicular gameplay (I'd actually do everything with gamepad).
I voted Normal Retail (PC).
Then I realized you get the Karkand map by pre-ordering, so that's what I actually wanted to vote...
"...lol, no console votes yet. "
I voted console because there's no way my laptop could run it and I'm just used to controllers. I'm well aware of which version will be the best though, the 3DS version.

I will probably not buy it. I already got Bad Company 2 on Steam if I feel like playing a Battlefield game. The only multiplayer shooters I can play forever without getting bored is Halo
anyone who selected anything other than PC (unless you don't have one) is wrong. Battlefield 3, Valve and Blizzard games are the only thing i'll be a PC fanboy for!
" @ch13696 said:The box art and stuff? C'mon, you know you gotta have the box eyeing you like crazy. Begging you to play him." Definitely the PC boxed version. As much as I love Steam, this is one of those "gotta have everything" moments. "...what would you miss out if you got Steam? "
Probably I will get the console version. The whole armchair&TV; vs. little monitor&office; chair argument. Also I consider using things like flight sticks cheating. Gamepads are a great equalizer. I prefer that.
