Apparently we'll be paying $80 for the service if a leaked PSN store update is meant to be believed.

Yay for price jacking.

would have considered it when BF3 first came out, but after 120 hours or so I've lost interest.

also can't justify spending 50 bucks on premium after I bought the game for 27 off a russian key site...

Ugh. No thank you. I thought it was meant to be a once-off fee? And after the expansions are out, what possible reason would people have for continuing to pay year after year?

2 weeks early access to the "expansions" ?

Sure, divide the community up more, idiots.

I got BF3 for the cost of 4 coffees. Can't justify the expansion at the cost of 3 coffees. When this comes out for 10, well lets say I like coffee more :twisted:

Even though EA are indeed a greedy bunch of suits, I do not think this is legit at all. The artwork on the document just doesn't seem well enough put together, plus the "Premium" logo is very tacky.

I think it's just someone having fun given it wouldn't be too hard to have people believe this given it's EA.

If it is true, though.. shame. Just shame.

If it isn't legit, it's something that's going to be very similar to it and the saddest thing is that people are going to pay for it.

You're both right actually, it is a once-off fee. I made a mistake in the article, which is now corrected :)

Just to repeat - once-off fee. Not a subscription.

Oh, well that's not so bad. Hopefully the Australia tax isn't too bad.
