    If you pre-ordered Battlefield 3 on EA's Origin prior to September 25th, or registered your first-hand copy of Medal of Honor: Limited Edition/Tier 1 Edition, or purchased Medal of Honor Limited Edition from Steam prior to July 26th, you'll soon be playing the early access beta!

    EA Australia have revealed that the early access beta will kick off at 10pm, Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) on the 27th of September - that's tomorrow night! For our international readers, here is when you'll be able to play:

    World times for the early access beta:
    • NZ 1:00 am 28th
    • Aus 10:00 pm 27th
    • Sweden 2:00pm 27th
    • GMT 12:00 noon 27th
    • US Eastern Standard Time 8:00 am 27th
    • CST 7:00 am 27th
    • PST 5:00 am 27th
    World times for public beta access:
    • NZ 1:00 am 30th
    • Aus 10:00 pm 29th
    • Sweden 2:00pm 29th
    • GMT 12:00 noon 29th
    • US Eastern Standard Time 8:00 am 29th
    • CST 7:00 am 29th
    • PST 5:00 am 29th
    Early access e-mails for eligible customers are said to be sent out within the next 18 hours or so. Console access shouldn't be far behind PC, but exact times will be controlled by XBL & PSN as they manage the deployment.

    For everyone else with a pre-order, that same hour on 29th is the day and moment you should be looking forward to. See you on the battlefield!

      Not yet. Perhaps we'll see it there, or get a key to add it tomorrow morning, with the delivery of beta access information to other customers.
