Count me out, me and the wife stuffed up the amount we have left got me where 200 gig went, 700 meg for the next 4 days,

Have fun all.

p.s I'll still be watching.

That's what Data Packs are for - emergency gaming.

People still run out of data? Poor fellow

As for me.. *loads up BF3*, might buy the premium dealeo next pay.

I'd recommend it if you're planning to get the DLC packs when they put them out, since they'll all add up to $60 total anyway. $50 for all of them plus some extra junk is a great deal.

Even if you don't like the CoD style Close Quarters maps, the new guns you get in the DLC are actually all really good. Couple of sweet SMGs, SPAS shotty, AUG rifle and a sweet semi-auto sniper rifle.

Plus, queue jumping is great. Although now that pretty much everyone's bought Premium, it's more like queue normalising than jumping.

TL/DR: Premium is thoroughly worth it IMO.

[Disco LT]

Yeah I'm getting it just for that reason

You need to have money for that.

quota is always ok, think it just went a bit astray this time round.

Are you with iiNet or Node? The 3FL/GON BF3 servers should be unmetered content.

They never run the same unmetered been there done that, anyway I'll be watching the servers someone has too, plus not that fussed with stats/points anyway.

It will be good though for players who only play here and there to put in a solid weekend and get a huge boost out of it for a small amount of effort to be able to unlock stuff.
