I love dice I love battlefield and I’m considerably happy with what I paid for, but I’m not sure if it’s to the extent that this game is so severely discounted and IT JUST CAME OUT!
Does anyone feel that the deluxe members should be given something a tad more special than what was received on deluxe launch?
Where is it 50% off? psn? steam?
Psn it’s discounted and I was out christmas shopping yesterday and most shop are selling it for between 30 and 38 pounds. I knew it would get discounted but not this much this soon.
Umm deluxe you got 5 days early access, 5 paratrooper tokens and 20 airlift items.
Only the standard edition is discounted for retailers Christmas sales; because they set the price not EA/Dice
Great way to make people not buy the next game on launch.
Shows how bad the sales for this game obviously are, BF1 was just like $5 dollars during the black Friday sale so most people that got it can now get its sequel 50% off this game is turning into a train wreck.
And that’s not even including the things they probably made worse with this update.
I understand those who feel they got cheated, but for me I don’t regret one second getting the Deluxe version + 1 month of Origin Premier in order to play BF5 as early as possible.
It was worth every penny for me 
But getting 1 year of Premiere give you the same bonuses, like 10(?) days of early access and ability to play Anthem for basically same money as Deluxe Edition. Not to mention other games in Origin.
Absolutely
Why not… they have already slapped off most of Battlefield´s player base so…
But you don’t own the game; you are paying for a service to be able to play the game.
Plus Xbox doesn’t have premier yet and Sony refuses to play ball with EA so PlayStation players get nothing
Totally bro and I said I’m ok with how much I bought it, it’s the fact at how discounted it is and how fast it’s been discounted… so if standard is already $30 why couldn’t deluxe be?
Also madden and fifa are ea and I haven’t looked but I’m sure they cost morethan bfv.
its Either pay full price and get the early access or wait and get a price discount, same as any other game. Only diff is the game apparently isn’t selling well so discounts come earlier, don’t really understand why it would be considered a ‘slap in the face’.
I wouldn’t call this a slap in the face.
I don’t think there was any intent to mislead anyone or insult them by having a AAA price tag on the release.
I feel the price cut is in response to very poor launch sales, that’s all.
But if the experience has taught me anything, it’s that there’s absolutely no point in paying full price for a Battlefield release in the future.
It’ll be bug ridden at release and content light, you just need to wait a couple weeks and you’ll get a patched version for half the price.
I understand DICE & EA’s motive in the business sense what they’ve done here, but they will also need to realise that they have also set a precedent moving forward as well.
I for one will never buy a DICE game on release ever again, knowing that many others will probably follow suit and this will be the likely outcome in the first 14 days after release moving forward.
Oh I have no doubt DICE / EA reps will say ‘no no no, this is a once off’ but we all know that’s not going to be true. This is simple business decisions coming to the fore and we now know if we just don’t buy the game day one and the sales tank, we’ll get the half off sale very quickly to appease the shareholders.
This move has set the precedent and will become expected moving forward, regardless of any ‘official stance’ from company reps because we now all know if they try and say ‘nup, full price forever moving forward’ and we don’t actually buy the product, the shareholders will have their heads.
Point noted for all future DICE releases!!
That’s the risk you take when you buy day 1. It’s up to you if you feel like it’s worth paying full price or not. I’m not one to defend corporations but in this case they did nothing wrong. It’s not a slap in the face at all lol.
The deluxe edition is 50% off on PSN (£40 instead of £80), that’s pretty extreme only 20 days after release (if you include 5 days early access).

It’s not 50% off for me.
You pay the price you’re happy for, at time of payment. If you wanted it cheaper, you should’ve waited. Never complain about a company taking initiative to bring more players into the game, benefits you most of all who have more experience to begin with than people who buy-in later. And besides, get Origin premiere, and deluxe is $5 or less depending on how many games you play out of ea’s catalog a year anyways.
I received 10% plus 10% off the deluxe preorder. At this point I paid $2/hour. That is less than a coffee that i drink in 10 minutes.
I bought the deluxe so I could play early.
If I was just looking to save some money, then yeah, I would’ve waited.
It’s not rocket science.
