That&#8217;s not including gamers who may have purchased the currently available DLCs separately.<\/p>\n<p>BF3 Premium&#8217;s one-time fee of $49.99 entitles the buyer to all five of the game&#8217;s expansion packs. Each DLC pack would ordinarily cost $15 so it&#8217;s a pretty good deal if you&#8217;re a serious BF3 player.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zGBgY6rqays\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related articles<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41978-battlefield-3-aftermath-details-revealed.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Battlefield 3: Aftermath details revealed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/41483-sa-battlefield-3-hackers-how-many-are-there.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>SA Battlefield 3 hackers \u2013 how many are there?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41676-battlefield-3-armored-kill-dlc-trailer.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Battlefield 3 Armored Kill DLC Trailer<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41908-battlefield-4-beta-confirmed-for-2013.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Battlefield 4 beta confirmed for 2013<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41516-dice-promises-to-not-abandon-battlefield-3.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>DICE promises to not abandon Battlefield 3<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EA&#8217;s alluring special BF3 DLC bundle builds momentum with gamers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":42240,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[31,4561,1419,49,4560,4387,4562,4143,709,175,813],"class_list":["post-42236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","tag-active","tag-aftermath-dlc","tag-battlefield","tag-battlefield-3","tag-battlefield-3-premium","tag-battlefield-premium","tag-bf-premium","tag-bf3","tag-dice","tag-ea","tag-electronic-arts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42236"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42247,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42236\/revisions\/42247"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
