Details regarding EA's answer to Call of Duty Elite leaked via EU PSN Store.

An EU PSN Store update has reportedly revealed a price and date for the rumoured Battlefield 3 Premium service. According to the leak Battlefield 3 Premium will set players back £39.99/€49.99/AU$79.95 and will become available on June 4, 2012.


The listing was spotted and reported by Eurogamer but has since been removed. A formal reveal is expected at EA's E3 press conference next Monday.


Not unlike Call of Duty Elite it would appear that, by paying for a subscription, Battlefield 3 players will have access to DLC early and for no further cost. Call of Duty Elite has more than 10 million registered users and two million paying subscribers.


An alleged English fact sheet for Battlefield 3 Premium, also leaked out of Europe (via German site gamersunity.de), claims Battlefield 3 Premium subscribers will also have access to a unique in-game knife, a variety of exclusive soldier and weapon camos and other perks, like "queue priority into servers" and exclusive double XP weekends


Battlefield 3 Premium to offer queue priority

EA look poised to set off another stink bomb with Battlefield 3 fans, as leaked details about the new Premium service suggest subscribers will get priority in server queues and will be able to reset their stats.

Details of Battlefield 3 Premium (aka Platinum) have been leaked once again, with what appears to be an E3 fact sheet offering a list of features which only paid-for subscribers will have access to.

First noticed by forum NeoGAF on a German website, this could be a fake but to be honest it does look legit. Especially as the service was due to be officially announced on Monday anyway.
Premium is similar in concept to Call Of Duty Elite, even though the stat-tracking element of Elite is already available for free via Battlelog.
If you pay the $49.99 EA are asking though you'll get early access to downloadable content (two weeks early to be precise), extra customisation options and exclusive in-game items (including an ACB-90 knife, a set of Premium dog tags, and exclusive camos).

The most controversial features though are the ability to reset player stats and queue priority into servers. Premium will allow you to reset your Score/Minute, Kills/Deaths, and Wins/Losses stats for your multiplayer profile. The queue priority will allow you to jump ahead of other non-subscribers waiting for a game.

Like Elite, Premium will also offer exclusive Double XP weekends and subscriber-only events, as well as strategy guides and other exclusive videos and sneak peeks.

The fact sheet also clearly lists a fifth piece of downloadable content: the mysterious Aftermath which neither DICE nor EA has yet admitted is real.

Premium's launch date is listed as June 4th, although there may be a slight difference in when it's turned on in the US and Europe. Although that is the same date as Sony accidently leaked yesterday, when they also stated a price of £39.99 for a year's membership.

The fact sheet lists an Xbox 360 price of 4000 Microsoft Points, which works out as £34.20. That's a pretty big difference between the two prices though, so it may not be final.
