This Saturday (26th November), European PS3 owners of Battlefield 3 can finally claim a free full-game voucher for Battlefield 1943.

US owners of BF3 on PS3 will be able to do the same on 10th December; and Asian and Japanese owners on 17th December.

EA faced a class action lawsuit last week for sneakily breaking its promise of a free Battlefield 1943 game for buyers of Battlefield 3 PS3.

The EA website detailing how to claim a BF1943 code said "there have been some misunderstandings" about the deal.

To claim your Battlefield 1943 code, do as follows:

1. Activate your Battlefield 3 Online Pass for the PlayStation 3 using the voucher included in the game (see step #5 for additional instructions).
2. Visit 1943redemption.battlefield.com on or after the dates outlined above for your region and log in with your Origin ID and password. Click here if you need help with retrieving your account information.
3. Select your territory. Note vouchers do not work across regions.
4. You will then receive a PlayStation 3 voucher for Battlefield 1943.
5. input your voucher into the PlayStation Network store. Instructions below.

• From the XMB (cross media-bar) of the PlayStation 3 connected to a network, choose [account management] under the [PlayStation Network].
• From the menu select redeem codes.
• Enter voucher and select continue.
• Download Battlefield 1943.

Seems the threat of class action lawsuit has caused EA to have a change of heart.

Can't say I was really bothered about the fact it wasn't included, but I'm not going to complain if they want to give me a free copy now

Is 1943 worth getting?  I know it's free and all but it's quite old and I assume fairly limited in scope and players.

Dunno, might claim my voucher for the hell of it but doubt I'll play.

Kudos for the heads up though.

I feel a bit bad tbh as I preferred the B2K DLC over the game any day Unless I am getting soft in my old age.

Its classic BF just scaled down, no Rush mode just Conquest on 3 large maps, then a 4th map which is just for aerial dog fights

I've had some great fun on it I tell thee and if its free then the servers could be full again.

Yeah, I hope we still get the DLC early... I bought BF '43 way back when. A free copy is useless to me.

But it's an awesome game, especially if you like flying. The dogfight mode is good fun too, although the planes are slightly unbalanced. I might fire it up again just to go swimming in the tropical waters of Wake Island in anticipation of the DLC...

Thinking about it this could give us another OPC event I probably suck at it now though as I haven't played it in ages.

As if they just gave in
