I worked out a way to get Battlefield 3 Limited Edition on Greenman Gaming bypassing the region lock. This version comes with the 4 free Battlefield 2 maps and weapons.

1) Go to this proxy here http://browsesafely.co.uk/
2) In the proxy type www.greenmangaming.com in the URL section, this will take you to the UK site
3) Navigate the store, find Battlefield 3 and add to cart
4) Apply the voucher GMG10-PERCE-NTOFF (making it $48.80)
5) You can't actually checkout and purchase through the proxy, so navigate back to www.greenmangaming.com normally (without a proxy) and Battlefield 3 will be sitting there in your cart.
6) Purchase and enjoy, key comes instantly

Edit: According to the comments section apparently just going to www.greenmangaming.co.uk without doing all the above works as-well, i haven't tried it myself.

The game requires Origin (Basically like Steam for EA games)

Gaming Electronic Arts Origin Video Game

    If you don't mind getting a russian version and using a language fixer you can get it for $40 here…

    http://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/products/Battlefield-3-LIMITED-EDI…

    EDIT: Who negged me? Keyword: "If you don't mind"…

    • MementoMori on 25/10/2011 - 17:32

      Did they send you the EU or RU version when you ordered the RU version? I've heard some people order and pay for RU but get EU! :)

      • GrownShrooms on 25/10/2011 - 18:54

        I paid for RU before any mention of EU, so I requested a change to EU and it works well in English

        It doesn't matter. Either way it'll end up being in English and the instructions to change the language to eng are fool proof :)

        Edit: I got the Russia version. Works fine in Origin. This is the real deal! p.s Origin servers are so awesome, I was getting 3.2MB/s this morning.

      Ozbargainers don't like CJS.

      Personally, for me, what they lack in being organised, they make up for in efficient communication.

      I just got my key from them today and have pre-loaded through Origin :D

      • cheng2008 on 25/10/2011 - 23:39

        there's a reason, their support is terrible and they never answered my emails.

    • kzrocky on 27/10/2011 - 20:46

      Brilliant, a bit of a muck around process though, but it finally worked.
      Got mine for $31.66 AUD

      Good stuff

  • Rajserp on 25/10/2011 - 17:03

    How can I get it to allow me to use my Store Credit?

    I got to a point where I was going to pay $1 from paypal. But there was an error.

      Make sure your not trying to purchase though the proxy as it won't let you use credit.

      • Rajserp on 25/10/2011 - 18:56

        Yeah I tried doing that. No dice. :(

        Did you get it to work?

          I've bought from CJS and I got an invalid key. I noted Origin just updated, hope it didn't block these keys for some reason. Have emailed support but am not hopeful. My key even had a ';' in it!!! Thinking of just buying a physical locally to save all this BS hassle…, I just want to play.

          reply to domcc1:
          your key is fine, enter the digits BEFORE the semi-colon. the second code AFTER the semi-colon is for the karkand pack. you redeem that as a separate code.

    Mines coming up at $30.58. Winning?

    • [Deactivated] on 25/10/2011 - 17:40

      are you sure its not pounds? If not then you are winning.

      • LibertyPrime on 25/10/2011 - 17:43

        Haven't made the purchase. On the basket it said $30.58. In the input billing, it went to pounds. Seems a bit bugged. Either way, it's $30.58 or $46ish so it's a good deal.

    • Vitalic on 25/10/2011 - 17:55

      Mine just showed the same thing down the bottom, looks like a bug with the site where it should be pounds.

  • Vitalic on 25/10/2011 - 18:04

    I'm getting this error at the moment.

    "Sorry, due to changes in our shop this basket has become invalid since you started shopping. Please try your purchase again."

    • [Deactivated] on 25/10/2011 - 18:07

      Try again, or maybe you took 15minutes to do the purchase? (there is a time limit)

      • Vitalic on 25/10/2011 - 18:09

        Just fixed it, not sure what the problem was. Thanks for the deal. :)

  • bradw6860 on 25/10/2011 - 18:20

    the game isn't region locked? so i could buy, download and play today?

    • lapsangsuchong on 25/10/2011 - 18:29

      No region locks!

      • bradw6860 on 25/10/2011 - 18:37

        are there aus servers atm?

        • Vitalic on 25/10/2011 - 18:42

          I don't think BF3 is released until the Thursday. You can pre-load the game at the moment though, however.

          +3

          If you don't mind being a bit naughty, you can use the Platinum HideIP program to mask your IP to a Korean one, or even US now, and bypass the release date checker, so you can play from today. There are quite a few Aussie servers up which are all full of players.

        • lapsangsuchong on 25/10/2011 - 20:19
          +1

          Aus/Nz/Oceania servers are up!
          You need to bypass the date check using VPN in order to install game after it preloads. I can confirm that SP and MP are working, from the russian BF3LE key I got from CJS.

  • Damned on 25/10/2011 - 18:26

    Had troubles also. While using the proxy just added game to basket, then clicked continue shopping.(Didnt click accept)

    Load the website without proxy goto basket now click accept. Worked this way for me!

  • Rajserp on 25/10/2011 - 18:58

      Actually there's an $8.80 difference, being an Ozb'er that $8.80 can go along way. xD

    • MementoMori on 26/10/2011 - 22:51

      Agreed. Stupid me bought a RU key from CJS and got an invalid key. Hopefully I'll get a refund, just bought from Greenman instead, all downloading fine so far.

    NON RUSSIAN cd key, limited edition is $40
    you can use the code FBFANBGCKFH5711 for an extra $2 off, so in total $38

    • ozb-442 on 25/10/2011 - 19:57

      That is out of stock and will be delivered on the 28th…

      • Harold Halfprice on 25/10/2011 - 20:07

        it is indeed!
        well, it was a good deal while it lasted. i managed to pick up a copy, codes get delivered 27th (if you already purchased)
        i think they put a deadline on the preorders, to ensure everyone who did preorder it received their code on time. however i thought there was still a day or so to buy it.

        if anyone wants to wait one day after the game comes out, its still a better deal than most. i suspect it will be likely that the first day will be spend downloading the game anyway, unfortunately.

  • SkItZo on 25/10/2011 - 20:26

  • gizmomelb on 25/10/2011 - 21:38

    schweet! thanks for the proxy tip (doesn't work with BBC iPlayer though, just tried it).. I now have a key for Crysis 2 and Battlefield 3 :) (umm $72.72 total, from memory). I was also going to get Bulletstorm and Alice: Madness Returns, but they're both cheaper on the US Steam store and the Valve Holiday sale is only a month away.. I'm positive they'll be 50% off or more during that sale (Alice was only recently 50% off).

    guess I need to install EA's Origin now and start downloading (and cancel my pre-order at JB Hifi tomorrow).

  • V-Ate on 25/10/2011 - 22:10

    Hell yeah, got a Limited Edition version of BF3 on close to release date at $30 less than the retail?

    Cannot complain!

    Not only that, but got the game 2 days early and can even play multiplayer.

    Follow these steps and you can activate and play BF3, took me like, 2 minutes.

        Rather than showing me a page that had my key on it it said an error had occurred, yet I'd been charged anyways. I had a look through my account and no info on BF3 was given, and I didn't get any confirmation emails either. Did it say "Preorder" for you? I've filed a support ticket…

    If you access greenmangaming and use my referer URL, then you should will get a $2.00 credit for your next purchase. No one mentioned this to me, I just bought it and could have got $2 and given someone else $2 too.

    Lets share the love?

    Steps to get it for $48.80 and get $2 credit on your next purchase:

    1: Go to http://www.greenmangaming.co.uk/?gmgr=rapozaqo
    2: You are redirected to: http://www.greenmangaming.co.uk
    3: Register a new account or Login to your existing account by clicking on "LOGIN / REGISTER" (when registering your email address you register with must match your paypal email address otherwise it wont let you pay by paypal)
    4: Go to the BF3 page: http://www.greenmangaming.co.uk/games/shooter/battlefield-3-…
    5: Select BUY and enter the code: GMG10-PERCE-NTOFF
    6: Tick the terms and conditions box and then pay by paypal
    7: Once you finish the paypal payment (login, select confirm etc), you are redirected back to greengaming.co.uk and your KEY is given to you straight away on that page.

    Now your account should be credited with $2 to spend on your next purchase, as will mine = sharing the love baby! :)

      Just registered to tell you guys, (see UPDATE below).

      Ordered for myself through Green Man Games this afternoon perfectly. Unfortunately, couldn't get a second key through them (cannot get two keys of the same game, could not create a new account using the same PayPal account, and it wouldn't accept my credit card).

      So, in order to get a key for my son, tried these guys. Have heard absolutely nothing back and support is non-existant. The good news is that it's PayPal so it should be easy enough to get my money back (worst case), but it's frustrating to say the least.

      Take care.

      UPDATE: Well, once their support went online, was able to get the key without problems. Seems like they've got growing pains. The key works fine even if the image is slightly low-res.

      Apologies for the noise, but I wanted to get in quick to help out any OzBargainers since I've saved so much thanks to the good people here. Party on, Wayne!

    Or $40 here russian version - http://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/products/Battlefield-3-LIMITED-EDI…

    • MementoMori on 26/10/2011 - 22:52

      Warning! I bought a RU from CJS and it didn't work. Hopefully I'll get a refund, have bought this one instead. Cheap piece of mind for an extra $8 and no Russian jiggery that may become invalid in the future.

      • lapsangsuchong on 27/10/2011 - 14:58

        CJS keys work! Thanks to the people who posted about them!
        I can confirm the CJS keys work. I got the keys 10mins after paying. Preloaded from Origin @ 1MB/s. Bypassed release date by activating using russian/usa VPN. Am playing MP with Aus/Nz servers right now :)

        to Domcc1::
        You entered the wrong key! (I replied above, but will repeat here).
        CJS gives 2 keys for BF3:LE - in this format: "xxx-xxx-xxx ; xxx-xxx"

        Game key = digits before semi-colon
        Karkand pack = digits after semi-colon.

        redeem the codes separately!

    I have just tried to buy it from GMG but they won't allow difference email address if I buy it from paypal. I changed the email address but cannot receive the verify email.

    How can I ask it to re-send?

    • neohito on 27/10/2011 - 08:46

      same thing happened to me… if you didnt get any receipt email from paypal and the game is not in ur account yet then you didnt buy it.

      After you sign in to paypal and press continue you should be taken back to the GMG site to confirm the purchase first so if that didnt happen to you then your first attempt didnt go through.

      So just change your GMG acc email to be the same as your paypal and then do it again.

      • superforever on 27/10/2011 - 23:17

        "So just change your GMG acc email to be the same as your paypal and then do it again."

        I need verification email before I can use paypal.

        The problem is their site said this "Your settings have been changed. If you changed your e-mail address then we have sent you an e-mail with instructions to verify it."

        Without the email to verify it GMG reject me from using paypal.

        Just purchased it with credit card instead but now I cannot see my key in the game page.

        What's going on?

        Who said support is very fast?

    Bought the limited edition from Greenmangaming for $48.80 after promo code. Didn't have an issue purchasing the game.

    Had a slight issue with the game key not showing up on my account game page but this was a known issue to them apparently, so they solved the issue in a few hours. Their customer support was outstanding. I definitely recommend GMG.
