Don't you just love EA Games? The way they have a real finity with their fans and how honest they are, well it seems they're about to be taken to court because they did not give free copies of Battlefield 3 to PS3 gamers.

Not only were they getting DLC before the 360 users, they were meant to also get Battlefield 1943 and they have not recieved it at all. I completely forgot that this was the case when I ordered the game a while ago. I thought it was meant to be a part of the special edition of Bad Company 2, but then I was informed that they just released the Vietnam DLC, which is totally different, like three decades difference.

The firm Edelson McGuire has put forth a class action lawsuit against EA Games on behalf of the PS3 players as EA not only backpedalled on their offer but they also made the announcement so late into the production and post-purchasing of the game with the subtlety of a kitten in a jungle. While there was an official press release, it was not sent to many companies and had a minor announcement on Twitter.

In Edelson McGuire's words, EA "misled" and then "profitted" from the customers who bought the game and then did not deliver on the promise they made and "never intended" to actually keep.

The firm says those who were a part of looking forward to the free copy of BF1943 was the promise and EA is more than libel on their situation. I actually totally forgot this when I bought BF3, I even bought the goddamn Limited Edition because I was a fan of BF2 back in the day. But we'll see how this turns out in the future and QJ will keep you posted.
