Option to preorder BF4 Premium edition?

Unlike with BF3 where we didn't know premium would be released for BF4 there will be premium from the start. So why isn't there a BF4 premium edition available for preorder?.

Assuming China Rising is really free when you preorder (this is EA though), when we pick up premium seperately we turn around and pay them for what we just got for free. So the preorder bonus is completely pointless. With very little information available on backpacks or any of the digital deluxe ingame content, pre-ordering seems almost completely pointless right now. Worst case scenario China rising is figured into the base cost of the game and we end up paying twice for it when we also pick up premium.

The issue isn't so much the money involved but it just feels like we are being worked over with the current purchase options. I still have some goals to reach with bf3 so I'm not in a huge rush to move on just yet so maybe I should just wait for down the line when they do eventually release a premium edition which includes everything.

There seems to be little incentive to pre-order currently with the options being made available to us.

  • Hello,

    For time being you can either pre order bf4 standard or bf4 deluxe, but none include premium and if you buy now only premium you wont be able to play bf4 because as mentioned before you need to have base game-bf4, so in your place if you not in a hurry i wait and buy later🙂 I do like this: always pre order bf series products and i feel right this way🙂 And yes its possible to pre order now premium i did it yesterday and in a March Deluxe version🙂

    Hello,

    If you pre order DELUXE you get China rising pack, normally PREMIUM package should include that package as well🙂

  • Physical dog tags are a pre-order bonus from several retailer chains, please check with your retailer if they offer physical dog tags.

    Also remember, there is no Battlefield 4 Premium Edition announced or available yet. Battlefield 4 Premium does not include the base game, so you will have to buy either Battlefield 4 Standard Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition. Both editions will grant you access to the first expansion pack China Rising (if you pre-order), which is also included in a Premium membership.

  • But they can't have just sold me premium what I got was called the premium package I think that has the game as well if not then I just have to buy bf4 and get premium from the preorder

    Actually I don't know what they have sold to you, since retailers are creating their own bundles and pre-order packs. It would be the best if would check back with your retailer for clarification of what's contained in your order.

    In general, there is no Battlefield 4 Premium Edition available yet, as you would know it from Battlefield 3 (base game + Premium combined in one purchase). Currently you will have to buy the base game and Premium as two separate products. If you pre-order the base game however, it will come with a single premium expansion pack, but this is just one single expansion pack and not the full content that you would get as a Premium member.
