The previously rumoured Battlefield Premium service will cost around £35 when it launches next month.

That's according to a listing from online retailer CoolShop, which carries a £34.96 price tag and an expected launch date of June 29.

The product description reads: "BF3 Premium Service is 1 code in a box to give the consumers early access to the BF3 DLC expansion packs - Back to Karkand (already released), Close Quarters (releasing June), Armoured Kill (releasing Sept) and End Game (releasing December)."

But according to MP1st a fifth, as-yet-unannounced Battlefield 3 expansion will be called Aftermath. The site suggests it will be released this year before the previously announced End Game DLC, which it claims will now arrive in 2013.

The site says Battlefield Premium will offer the following:

20 Maps
20 New Weapons
10+ New Vehicles
4+ New Game Modes
30+ Assignments
20+ Dog Tags

Back to Karkand
Close Quarters in June 2012
Armored Kill in Fall 2012
Aftermath in late 2012
End Game in Spring 2013

So much for DICE's comment on never having a premium service Rolling Eyes

I was reading about this earlier and as much as I love BF3, I just can't see me paying for this. It looks like a lot of content but you are paying almost full RRP for downloadable content and within this price is a map pack I already have.

This is really going to fragment the BF community as a lot will buy it and a lot won't and it will really affect matchmaking etc.
