Get the game on 24th, Any region.

I can't see this anywhere on these forums, so I will post this.
You can download the game on Monday, at 3am. To do this you just need to use a VPN tunnel, to trick origin into thinking you're in another country, origin only checks the release date once, and that is when it needs to download the decryption files when you first run the game.Whichh means if you use a VPN you can unlock and play early.

So to start you're going to need 'platinum hide my ip' It is a program that will allow you create a VPN tunnel altolot of different countrys, it costs money but you can just search for it on thepiratebay.

Once you have it and it is installed, run the program and click on 'Choose IP country'.

Find the country 'indonesia' and click on that.

Now press 'Hide IP'

This will now set the unlock date in origin to the 24th, 3pm.

To get it to go back even further, right click on the clock on the startbar and goto 'adjust date/time' and and change the time zone to the very top one 'international' This will set your PC clock back some time, depending where you live, for me in the UK it is - 12 hours.

This now makes the release date in origin the 24th of october, 3 am.

So on monday, just follow these steps, start origin and try to run BF3, it will check online to see if the release date is correct (wich it will be since it thinks you're in indonesia) and it will download the decryption keys and allow you to play, you won't need the VPN tunnel after it is unlocked. This can't get you banned either, there is nothing in the terms of service for origin that says this isn't allowed and VPN's are 100% legal in every country.

It should, if not you can try other VPN's, like openvpn, but that is to America only, so you would get the game on the 25th.

I believe this may not work. The game checks with the ea servers and if it's not 12:01 am pst the servers will not allow you to continue. it has nothing to do with your current time. Thus the "you need an internet connection" bit. Just my two scents. Guess it doesn't hurt to try of course.

I know that the offical release in indonesia is the 24th at 3pm, so I know the vpn will work, I'm not toosure about changing the computers timw zone though, that probably won;t work, but I wil try it anyway.

the reason it says 24th for you cos indonesia its like 12am there on 25th, and its like +9 there so the time difference is causing it to be opened on 24th when it isnt.

also if u change u time zone on ur pc to UTC -12 it will unlock at 3am on the 24th
