From where did you get that? Link please...as far as I know, Origin won't let you download the Beta if you are in India, Asia or Africa.

Here for more proof and refund for Asia and Africa on the pre-order.:

Connected

Abhishek: Hi, my name is Abhishek. How may I help you?

Qtr.Cask: Hi... will the BF3 Beta be available to play in Asia?

Abhishek: THE BETA IS AVAILABLE in North America, South America,

Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Abhishek: Unfortunately Beta is not available in other regions.

Qtr.Cask: So why did Origin Store (Singapore) charge me for the Limited Edition with early access to the Open Beta?

Abhishek: The early access to Beta is decided by our developers.

Qtr.Cask: I understand that. How will I get my refund from Origin for the Limited Edition?

Abhishek: What I can do for you is I can refund the game amount.

Qtr.Cask: Ok.. Please advise the method of how the money will be returned to me.

Abhishek: Please give me your Order number.

Qtr.Cask: Before I give you my order number, can you explain whether you will be refunding the full amount of the transaction or the only difference between the Limited Edition and the Standard Edition.

Abhishek: I would refund the amount that was debited from your account.

Abhishek: You can pre Order Standard edition then.

Qtr.Cask: Ok... thanks for your information. I will wait to see if DICE change their mind on the region restrictions over the next few days. One last question... What date is the deadline for a full refund of the Limited Edition game?

Abhishek: You have Ordered Disk version or Digital version of the game?

Qtr.Cask: Digital

Abhishek: You will get the refund when you call. Even after the release of the game.

Qtr.Cask: Ok... will I still be receiving a beta key as promised by yourselves even though it will be void?

Abhishek: Unfortunately the Beta access key will be only provided for those regions where the game is being released.

Its EA...m telling you they are evil!!!

I would love to boycott this game for EA, but I will be losing on a lot of good gaming then :(

They (EA) know really know how to milk people...I will never forget them for literally destroying Westwood Studios....
 
BETA servers will be hosted in Singapore but apparently Asians will not be allowed to play on them.

What about Indians who pre-ordered MOH-LE with the promise of BF3 Beta access? Or the ones that pre-ordered BF3 from Origin under the same assumption? :@
 
If this is the attitude of EA and Dice,i will get the "free" version of the game.If they dont care about us,they dont need our money.
 
No need to cancel the order... i will buy it... just ship it to my address when you will receive it... Or i can even come to collect it from your place as we both stay in mumbai :P
 
:) It was just out of frustration :P Dont take it seriously.. :) I will give you the key for online gaming for free if I dont get time to spare from FIFA12 :hap2:......

One of the comments by the guys handling that page:

Electronic Arts (EA) Singapore: It is an Open Beta, everyone can download and play it. Plus, there will be local beta servers too.

Not sure what that means, but hopefully we have Indian servers as well.

I think what that means is Fragnetics Singapore (which is also an official EA Singapore server provider) will be hosting BETA servers that we (Asians) can play on.

Looks like Fragnetics has revoked its BC2 region restriction policy as well! So Indians should be able to play on Fragnetics again. Looks like we will be able to play the BETA there as well provided your meet their "minimum acceptable ping" limit.

Some CONFIRMED news about the BETA -

General Beta Info
Between 2-3 gig beta client.

You cannot UPDATE alpha client you need to re-download the new Beta Client.

Netcode is totally rewritten and new.

No level limit @ beta.

Cant join as a Squad if the Team is full so battlelog groups won’t get split.

Gameplay Info

Vehicles autoregeneration ONLY under 75% Health.

Unlocks are for WEAPONS not for the classes you can not unlock red dot sight on gun1 and use it on gun 2.

Ricky please tell me how to get access to beta...? I have not yet pre-ordered it,

was waiting for things to settle down.

I have origin installed ...just buy it there....
 
@Infected aka NaNuBaba :P :

The beta client will be available for download for everybody on 29th of September you needn't pre-order anything. I think so atleast.

:)
 
Yeah beta can be downloaded though origin on 29th, so jus get your origin software downloaded and kept ready

Hate to admit that my Origin is already installed and ready...

I waited till I could for a ray of hope that it might just show up on Steam...

but EA and their marketing tactics really know how to suck customers in, by leaving them with no choice.

@Infected aka NaNuBaba :

So what you guys are saying is that I dont need to pre-order it to download the beta or to get early access....
