O.K. I was going to pre-order Battlefield 4 today, but I got confused.  It seemed the best option to go with was the cheapest.  Now, I may be an Idiot, but I am not a dumb ass.  Am I missing something?  Here is how the prices go:

 

All are Pre-Orders

Battlefield 4 - $59.99

Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe - $69.99

Battlefield 4 Premium - $49.99

 

Can anyone give me the reasons?  It seems the Digital Deluxe allows you to play the Beta for $10 extra.  But why would premium be the cheapest?  Could it be for those who have BF3 Premium?

That is strange m8, although saying that i got the BF3 premium and it was cheaper, or worked out cheaper if it was pre-ordered then the other versions, maybe they are charging people $10 for the Beta who don't own BF3 because as far as i know us BF3 owners are going to be able to play the Beta for free.

Difference between regular and deluxe versions.

Battlefield 4 Premium is an extra where you get other things and includes all dlc when they are available. Still requires one of the above as the base game.

Amazon UK price is currently £34.97 for pre-order and including the China Rising DLC and a Prima eGuide to the game.

This seems to be the better option for me, personally, as I haven't forgotten the teething troubles with BF3 and the beta

period is unlikely to have ironed everything out...  It'd be a real headache to pay £75 for the full "premium service" package

to find the game doesn't work properly or one doesn't enjoy it.

Hello,

 

Just to clarify, Premium does not include the base game Battlefield 4. It is the same system that was used with Premium for Battlefield 3, you will have to buy the base game in order to play the game, be it the Standard Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition. If you would like to expand your gameplay experience over the following year, you can either choose to purchase individual expansion packs or you could purchase Premium which will grant you access to all upcoming expansion packs plus additional perks and bonuses for a lower price in total. You can find all content that comes with Premium listed at the pre-order website: http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield-4/buy/premium-pc

 

+ FIVE DIGITAL EXPANSION PACKS

+ TWO-WEEK EARLY ACCESS TO ALL FIVE EXPANSION PACKS

+ EXCLUSIVE PERSONALIZATION OPTIONS

+ 12 BONUS BATTLEFIELD 4 BATTLEPACKS

+ SEAMLESSLY TRANSFER PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP FROM XBOX 360 TO XBOX ONE AND PS3 TO PS4

+ AND MORE!

 

Regards, Libever

If you can cancel it then do it Hans, can't see what you are getting for your money with that Digital version, i have cancelled items before, don't think they take the money from you until it is shipped.
