THE BUZZ: According to Sony and DICE, PlayStation 3 owners will get a one week head-start to enjoy upcoming Battlefield 3 DLC.

In a post on the official PlayStation blog, Tommy Rydling from DICE announced that all Battlefield 3 expansions will arrive one week early on Sony’s system. He wrote, “You’ll be happy to know that beginning with our first expansion pack Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand (to be released later this year), all full-blown upcoming expansion packs for the game will appear one week early exclusively on PS3, brought to you by Sony!”

He went on to outline the Back to Karkand expansion, which features the most popular maps from Battlefield 2, all updated with the Frostbite 2 engine.

EGM’s TAKE: One week might not sound like a lot, but it goes to show how seriously game companies take even the smallest advantage in today’s

Marc Camron somehow survived E3. The crowds were big, the games were loud and somehow he managed to get a sunburn on the top of his big, bald melon. Yet, despite all of this, he had a blast, seeing people he only sees once a year, playing all of the new games, and staying up way past his bedtime. Next year he might even have a beer.
