It's just said that the cheapest place I could legally buy it, was on a physical DVD. Digital Distribution was about 190% the cost.

Alright, BF3 pre-ordered I'm sure it will be a very interesting experience with EA's latest - probable - stuff up (Origin).

not worth pre ordering from origin for a few days early beta for double the price.

Beta is being released about a month before full release I think? Plus you get all the other bonuses of pre-ordering. And from the sounds of it, Origin is working pretty well..

How is that not worth it?

Am I reading this incorrectly? Use a web browser outside the game to get into a game server? Into an actual server on which you play multiplayer?
