Battlefield 3 and IGN [ENDED]

Closed
Exactually

I usually don't try these IGN things, but I had to share.

Battlefield 3 Free: Here
Just create a Prime account, they'll give you a code, download impulse, and you'll be golden.

EDIT: Looks like this doesn't work anymore. Happy early holidays to those who got it :)

LoL This is exploiting, I heard someone got like 20 BF3 keys in this way.
Even though it works now, I think Origin and IGN will disable the keys them sooner or later since free-trial Prime members are not allowed to get them. Similar to what Steam did for Dirt3 key leak, those who got illegal Dirt3 had the game removed, and it may be even worse: They may ban your account for using these keys, it's easy to figure out if someone really subscripted the 2-year Prime promotion or not. If they do so, the good thing is at least you have played BF3 free for a while before the ban. :P

They giveaway 25keys and you're NOOB!
No matter how hard anyone try to get more than one key he can't! Soz per one internet connection max is 1 prime account.

So don't tells the shits and don't QQ anymore for not getting the key.

You're such a joke! How do you know they give 25 keys maximum? Seems you don't even understand the promotion: Everyone who's paying IGN prime subscription for 2 years will get a BF3 key for free. So no reason there're only 25 keys ready in stock, they must have more. And leechers have their ways to create multiple accounts to grab more keys.
I was just telling you the potential risk for using these keys that you're not supposed to have. I didnt say it was a disgrace. If you did get one, enjoy it silently and humbly, don't piss off other people. A key doesn't make you look better.

Hey come on! Did you check the number now? It's 10/25. So only 10 keys were given yesterday? Still 10 remaining? Obviously the number is not real. I think it's just kind of advertising manner. The trick makes people feel keys are running out fast and prompts them hurry to buy.

... the fuck? I have a Prime trial subscription (which is free), yet this gave me a key.

I seriously doubt this is intentional. They advertise Battlefield 3 as a bonus for people who pay for the 2-year plan, so whoever designed this "key allocation system" of theirs is probably just retarded.

I've canceled auto-renew right after I've created free trial account so they didn't charged me.

You think this stops them from saving your credit card info "in case you want to re-enable the renew"? Anyway I also redeemed the code and didn't have my card billed yet.

Wait, I used my account that I never put any CC information in, and as soon as I clicked that link I got a key. This is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

So... uhm. I forgot I had this prime trial account. And I don't think I ever removed the subscription. How do I do this? I can't find it.

edit: actually I don't even know if it was a Prime account now that I think about it reading an above comment. I wish I didn't buy this already though D:

Like the OP said firs create an account on IGN then access that link. Though i've got a feeling the keys will get blacklisted or removed soon enough.

What the hell? It actually worked! No, this is too good to be true... They will probably remove it from trial members...

But in any case, thanks, OP!
