Thanks for the gift code!! Already picked up a second copy of Arma 3 for a friend so I may hang on to the code if there is no expiry date on it.

I feel little sympathy for those who bought the game just to get there name in the credits.

I think that there are some people here that are getting there priorities mixed up. I am not buying the Supporters Edition to get my name in the credits, I am buying it because I want to support BI with Arma 3. BI might as well bring out an ePeen Edition at £200 for those who are so uptight about getting there names in the credits.

No problem. Wasn't intending to manipulate any votes. Poll is creeping up to the 500 mark.

Almost 400 votes so far.

The Supporter Edition is only listed as being available from the BI Studio site on the 5th. All other versions will be available on both. http://www.arma3.com/buy

I would guess that Steam prices will be higher by at least +£10 per version. Buying directly from Steam is almost always the most expensive way to get a Steamworks only game. You can usually get retail versions of a Steamworks game for less and just use the serial to register online. Further to this, with a multitude of online retailers now offering Steamworks titles, you will have no excuse if you end up paying full whack at Steam. In short, best time to buy would be before Beta when they say the prices will go up. Comparing Arma 2 if there were a similar offer: British + PMC add-on's would be included Operation Arrowhead would be excluded (standalone) Czech add-on would be free but would technically be excluded as it requires Operation Arrowhead Pending that I haven't missed any other official DLC that was released for Arma 2, we can only guess what and how much DLC will officially be released for Arma 3

Any version you buy now will get the full standard version of the game on release. Only the Apha Lite (invite only) is just purely the Alpha test.

The Alpha price now is a bargain. I would only guess that full Steam release pricing will be £29.99 for Alpha, £44.99 for Digital Deluxe and £69.99 for Supporters Edition. As always, most Steamworks titles can be found cheaper at retail on release.

So which version of Arma 3 will you be buying? http://www.arma3.com/buy http://www.bistudio.com/english/home/news/projects/358-plans-for-arma-3-in-2013 1) ALPHA (24.99 EUR/19.99 GBP/32.99 USD)* 2) DIGITAL DELUXE EDITION (39.99 EUR/34.99 GBP/49.99 USD)* 3) SUPPORTER EDITION (69.99 EUR/59.99 GBP/91.99 USD)* 4) Will try Alpha Lite and decide later on 5) None of the above (punish me) *The price of each edition will increase once the Arma 3 Beta and final game become available. Any version you buy now will get the full standard version of the game on release. Only the Alpha Lite (invite only) is just purely the Alpha test. **Edit** To start the ball rolling, I will be buying the Supporter Edition.
