Digital download for me -- I'll plug in the codes as soon as I have them and it should all be ready for me once I get back from work... and chat to the wife... and get the kids to bed... and chat to the wife some more... and Oh Sh*t! I've just realised my wife told me we're out to someone's birthday do Friday night... Argh!!!

Its very nice but it has an SLI bug (possibly this could be Nvidias fault a suppose) , if you Run in sli the lighting everywhere flickers all the time , tried AFR-1 & 2 to no avial ,AFR 2 reduces it a little but doesnt get rid of it altogether , but anyone with a GTX-780 should be ok , just turn off AA features & its ultra & 60fps all the way .

Preload now up (unless someone already said that...then Preload still up! :) )

Also, if you want to play today you can get a free VPN which masks your IP and looks like you're in america / other territories!

Here's a little tutorial:


Get a VPN
Close origin
Start up VPN (Choose a country like South Korea where the game is already released)
open origin
Start installing
close VPN (Disconnecting here as the speeds of the VPN < speeds of your home network)
when you have finished downloading it you'll need to start the VPN up to play it, but you can turn it off once you're in game :D

Are you sure you won't get the disc on the 1st? I've preordered from amazon and wasn't expecting to get it any time before friday...

Preload finished last night... all 26 GB of it! Now, just need to find a free VPN and follow F3AR tutorial:

Get a VPN
Close origin
Start up VPN (Choose a country like South Korea where the game is already released)
open origin
Start installing
close VPN (Disconnecting here as the speeds of the VPN < speeds of your home network)
when you have finished downloading it you'll need to start the VPN up to play it, but you can turn it off once you're in game :D

Any suggestions on the VPN? This one (http://www.flyvpn.com/freetrial) looks like it may do the job... will let you know...

Well I'm naffed off. Checked my amazon email (hotmail I barely go on) to see if they'd dispatched BF4 yet, I have an email from 3:11am this morning saying they were having trouble taking payment which I assumed they'd already taken. Quickly log in to my bank to see I'm £1 short in my account because I'd moved stuff into my savings and drew some money out the other day hence why I couldn't make the payment. Quickly transfer some and retry the card on Amazon which works fine only to be told I'll only get it on Saturday now even though I've opted for release day delivery -.- Surely confirming it now would still mean they can get it delivered first class for Friday?

Moral of the story? Never draw out more than you need from cash machines. That extra tenner could ruin your day :)

They debit your money only when they are ready to dispatch the item. Another moral, get an overdraft facility :)

I dun want an overdraft :(

Some banks offer free interest overdraft on a few hundred pounds. I have overdrafts on all my accounts (set up automatically) but never used it however I wish I had that facility when I was at uni.
