I had my copies of BF3 pre ordered before the beta and they still are. However a buddy of mine originally wasnt to fond of the beta or the BF series. After a few days however he plans on going out to order it. He said its grown on him.
but I do agree the marketing for BF has been stupid...and i would believe the beta has hurt sales. Still if the beta does fix many issue that could have plagued the game release then it may be worth. Hell if EA was smart they'd launch a vid showing the same map and show all the bugs reported are fix and thank the beta community...i know...wishful thinking.
