So far most of the bonuses being handed out for Battlefield 3 pre-orders were exclusive to the U.K. that differed depending on where you put your money down on the game. Those bonuses have now moved over to the U.S. and are the same ones being offered in the U.K. just in different retailers. All of them offer pretty nice bonuses to give you incentive to reserve your copy early. So far bonuses are being offered at Best Buy, Amazon and Gamestop (surprise) and include the following:
Gamestop
GameStop’s pre-order includes the Physical Warfare pack, in addition to the Back To Karkand DLC. The Physical Warfare pack includes the DAO-12 shotgun, a flash suppressor, a Type 88 Machine Gun and Flechette rounds for your shotgun. If you are part of their PowerUp Rewards, you’ll get a free Prima Battlefield 3 strategy guide as well. This seems to be
Amazon
If you pre-order on Amazon, you’ll receive an exclusive set of dog tags for multiplayer (the dinosaur dog tag is pretty awesome IMO.) On top of that, the pre-order includes the Back To Karkand expansion pack.
Best Buy
Best Buy offers the same Limited Edition version with Back To Karkand, plus a set of new multiplayer skins — the SPECACT Kit. You’ll receive a code to unlock 8 new multiplayer skins when the game is released.
