EA announced that PS3 Players, wont get this great game from DICE, but instead the will get Early Expansion Pack Access to Battlefield 3 (Back To Karkand) that its included with BF3 Limited Edition.

Here its what EA said in their Battlefield blog:

Battlefield 3’s rolling out across the globe and we’re excited about the great feedback we’re getting from critics and fans alike!

Along the way we’ve also been getting some questions about the early access to expansion packs being made available to PlayStation 3 Battlefield fans and what happened to the original idea of bundling Battlefield 1943.

After the buzz of the initial E3 press conference wore off and we started to collect feedback from the community, we realized that while Battlefield 1943 is still a great game, most of our PS3 fans have already been playing it for years. We partnered with Sony to come up with a new opportunity that allowed us to provide new content that all PlayStation fans can enjoy.

Thanks to Sony’s exclusive sponsorship, PS3 gamers will have one week early access to Back to Karkand (included as part of Battlefield 3’s Limited Edition) as well as future expansion packs. Looking at the team’s progress, we’re very excited about how Back to Karkand is shaping up, and can’t wait to show you more. Stay tuned to battlefield.com/battlefield3 for Back to Karkand video and screenshots, coming soon!
