It took me 4-5 tries but I got in for PC although the "Get it Now" button at the end isn't really doing anything for me, and I don't see it in Origin yet.

Its basically a polished version of Payday 2. Definitely worth playing beta before buying, since BF4 launch sucked hard. Also will probably be 50% off sale on black friday, based on previous EA patterns.

got an email 2 mins later from Origin confirming I "purchased" Hardline beta for $0, still not showing up in Origin but hopefully that fixes itself in a few hours

I already own bf3 and bf4 on PC so dunno if that got me in instantly, I also signed up again for BF4 on PS4 and got a "we will email you if you got in!" message, not instant access. Don't own BF4 PS4.

also just checked the origin store, in USA regular is $60 digital deluxe (gold battlepacks) is $70. On Mexico origin store (hola VPN plugin) its $40 regular and $50 for deluxe. I really wouldn't pre-order though, its gonna go on big sales soon after release.

under origin click help / order history, mine says Processing thats why I think its not in my games library yet

shows up in Origin now as Battlefield Hardline beta. downloading now in Origin, 6 gigs. My order status still shows Processing for the order.

played a couple games, pretty fun but it seems to be built on top of a older build of bf4. A bug I saw a few months ago, my display not going fullscreen when I start and staying windowed until I toggle settings, was back with this beta. The game also crashed twice on me when i was fucking around on a motorcycle. load times also seem atrocious, against a raided SSD too.

definitely cool but can't see paying full price for this, its basically reskinned bf4 with a lot of tweaks.
