    When it's out, I think it'll be available via Origin. There's a post on the BF blog site about it.

    So I really want to play this beta, and I am willing to pay 20 bucks on a bad game like medal of honor to get into it 2 days early. I was going to go pick up a copy but a friend of mine said the window to register that code may be closed, can anyone confirm if this is true or not? also, does anyone know the size of the beta, i may have ti clear some stuff off my 360 hard drive.

    Noon UTC. Should have guessed. I suppose I'll have to start downloading early tomorrow morning instead of late tonight.

    Tomorrow at 10 AM CET (Central European Time), it will become available on Origin (that's in about 8 hours). I believe it's going to be an EA account kinda deal, but otherwise the beta code will arrive shortly. At least that's how I understand it.

    I keep myself updated about all thing BF3 with this handy site...
