omg why is there two clocks? Is this part of EA's early package thing like madden?

The two clocks measure out as:

Hours: Minutes: Seconds

Top Clock measures out to 4 days and some change.

Bottom Clock measures out to about 6 or so.

I would assume that means that's when the new teasers are coming out.

No.....MOH owners get 48 hour early access. Thats it. So I guess when people start reporting it is up, the rest of us have two days to wait until its an open beta.

LOL at 48hrs early access.

Or when the beta starts. It seems to make sense since the times are two days apart.

Definitely is. Has all of EA's corporate links at the bottom of the page.

It could also be an elaborate hoax. I'm going to take every unverified beta date with a grain of salt.

There's a 48 hour difference, and I assume that the top clock would be when the beta unlocks for MoH people and the bottom for everyone else.

No idea if this is legit.

Just to update:

The BF3 Community Coordinator says it's fake.

That's what I was thinking. Either that or maybe they split SP and MP up.

This seems to be the case.

"Disc one features the stunning multiplayer, co-op levels and HD installation content.

"Disc two features the superb single-player campaign."

Link: Battlefield 3 PC Beta Ready, Waiting on Microsoft & Sony

Speaking at the FNAC meeting in Paris, France, DICE GM Karl Magnus Troedsson gave a co-op demo of Battlefield 3 and answered questions. According to Planete-Battlefield.fr (unrelated to us), KM said the PC beta is ready, but now they are just waiting on Microsoft and Sony. From what we have heard, it takes 2-3 weeks for Microsoft and Sony to approve content, running it through tests to make sure it won't brick your console among other things. That said, we have no idea when the build was submitted to them. Via EA UK Forums.

So what are the chances that we'll see a beta date on the trailer coming out Friday?

Ok, so can someone please clarify for the last time? What do Gamestop pre-orders get that others don't? All pre-orders (or probably first run purchases, ie Limited Edition, for that matter) get the Karkand map, right? What does Gamestop get again?
