Battlefield 3 Pre-Order/Limited Edition Details
Most limited editions come with sexy but ultimately useless stuff like large boxes that don't fit in with the rest of your collection or velvet bags. Not Battlefield 3. The limited edition version of the game is not only easy to get, but it comes at no extra cost.
Anyone who pre-orders the game will get the limited edition version at no additional charge. The limited edition comes with the Back To Karkand post-launch DLC pack, which features four Battlefield 2 maps re-created using BF 3's Frostbite 2 engine. Back to Karkand is available separately for $14.99.
Pre-ordering the game will also get you bonuses, depending on where you place your pre-order:
Origin.com: If you pre-order from EA's own PC digital delivery service, you get (descriptions direct from EA):

- Ability to pre-load the game so you're ready to go when the game releases digitally
