Battlefield: Bad Company Gold Edition

Battlefield: Bad Company changed the formula by letting you blow holes in walls and rob gold from mercenaries, and the Gold Edition made sure early adopters got the full arsenal from day one. The Battlefield: Bad Company Gold Edition for PlayStation 3 unlocks five exclusive multiplayer weapons immediately, one for each kit class, including the AN-94, SPAS-15, VSS Vintores, MG3, and XM8C. These are weapons that standard edition players had to grind all the way to Rank 25 to access.

The package also includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary covering the development of DICE's destructible playground and eight multiplayer strategy videos that break down how to actually win on these maps. For PS3 collectors in the disc era, this is the kind of edition that documented a turning point in shooter design. Bad Company proved that Battlefield could work on consoles without sacrificing its large-scale identity.

The Gold Edition wraps that milestone in bonus content that standard copies simply don't carry. If you're building a PS3 FPS collection, the Gold Edition is the definitive version to own.
