Battlefield 1943 breaks download records

Fastest selling XBLA and PSN download-only game
EA's Battlefield 1943 has become the fastest selling Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network download-only title.

The multiplayer FPS, which features two modes, four maps and supports 24 players online, broke day one and week one download-only game records worldwide on Xbox 360, and in the US on PS3.

Since its launch on July 8, the DICE developed WWII shooter has sold over 600,000 copies across both platforms.

"We are honoured by the reception that the game has received so far," said Battlefield 1943 producer Gordon Van Dyke. "We can now truly say that we have set a new standard for what can be done in the downloadable games category."

The game is available for 1200 MS Points (£10.20/$15) on Xbox 360 and £9.99/$15 on PS3.

lets hope we get more games of this quality instead of the rubbish that gets released week after week.truely a amazing game and definately value for money puts the full price games to shame

Well, I cant say I did not see this coming, as I did.

Its nice to see the studio back up and running though to be honest, I did have my doubts that they were making so many Battlefield titles at the same time, that they may all come out rather the same taste. But so far, it is going good for them.

It's a good game but WHY do you have to put 100 bullets into someone b4 they drop

600,000 players getting kicked constantly from servers and paying £9.99 for the privilege.

Nice one money grubbers.

I think it's a brilliant game. It's got that "just one more go" feeling to it.

I bought it on the first Friday, and had trouble getting on. But from the Saturday evening and onwards, no trouble at all.

You don't, you just have to be able to aim properly.

How come $15 equates to both £10.20 and £9.99 in this?

I much prefer this to Halo3 and either COD game for the price too .... wish I didnt get the xbox version though.

I do, just ask your missus, always shoot properly in her

Isn't this just a cut down version of the old PC title?

Why? whats the diffrance between the ps3 and xbox vershions?

Btw i'm not trying to start a fanboy war here i have all three consoles and they all have there pros and cons... :wink:
Posted by gogo65uk
Reason for it is my brother told me to get the xbox version coz he and 2 mates got it, then it turned out he didnt like it and his mates dont play it. I have 5 friends on psn that play this game alot and I refuse to buy it again. Nothing to do with that actual system I enjoy it either way.
