EA Outs Battlefield 4, Plans To Charge $70 For New Games 323
Justus writes "Posts at NeoGAF and IGN show that a quickly-removed Origin advertisement for Medal of Honor: Warfighter reveals plans for Battlefield 4 and a new-game cost of $70. With Battlefield 3 DLC promised through 2013 and PC games cheaper than ever with things like the Steam Summer Sale, are gamers ready to buy Battlefield 4 at next-gen pricing?"

I bought Mass Effect 3 and you wouldn't believe all the hoops I had to jump through just to play the game. One of them was as silly as downloading the game files from the EA server even if I had them on the DVDs I had bought. The Origin client was a beta version, and when I contacted EA support to ask for a stable, they said they don't have one. I also asked if I could play the game if Origin network is shut down. The answer was that it's a new network and it's constantly expanding, so I shouldn't worry about it shutting down.
Never again.

I just unlocked the "Fabulous Fire" perk. Check it out, my tracers are rainbow-colored and my camo turned into assless chaps!

Only if Australia had their own developers...
Judging by the number of "in Australia, it costs..." posts in this story, I'd say every Aussie capable of turning on a computer is too busy posting on Slashdot to make a video game.
