Battlefield 3, 4, and Hardline Being Delisted This Month on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
EA is delisting Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, and Battlefield: Hardline from the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 digital stores on July 31, 2024.
Announced on X/Twitter, the delisting comes ahead of Xbox 360 and PS3 servers for all three games being shut down on November 7, 2024. Thus marks the end of an era for some of the most popular multiplayer shooters of all time.
Players who own the games either physically or digitally will still be able to play their single player portions but all multiplayer modes will cease to be playable. All DLC will similarly be removed from sale on July 31.
Servers for the PC version of Battlefield 3 will be unaffected by the sunsetting, EA clarified, as will Battlefield 4 and Battlefield: Hardline servers on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
Battlefield 3 is perhaps the most beloved of the three and will celebrate its 13th birthday just two weeks ahead of the servers going offline. "Battlefield 3 offers an unforgettable, world-class multiplayer suite so fun that it more than makes up for the package’s shortcomings," IGN said in our 9/10 review.
Battlefield 4 arrived as the first entry on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and earned an 8/10 review from IGN, while Battlefield: Hardline arrived later with a cops and robbers theme.

LG 4th of July Deals on OLED TVs
Make sure to apply the coupon code
It's rare to see a manufacturer offer better pricing than a 3rd party merchant like Amazon or Best Buy, but it's happening now. As part of its 4th of July Savings Event, LG is offering some incredible prices on LG Evo C3 and C4 4K OLED Smart TVs. Save up to $1200 off in instant discounts before the coupon code is applied. What's especially great about this code is that it takes 10% off the original MSRP, not the discounted price. I don't know how long this code will last for, but I'd be surprised if it's still live on July 4.
Update: This deal now includes a free TV wall mount with purchase. Even better.

The Latest Final Fantasies Go 40% off, Smashing Steam Sales Continue to Amaze, and More!
Word is there's quite a lot of influenza going on out there, which means some of you might be grateful for some cheap indoor diversions. Gaming may not be the cure for common pestilence, but the discounts I've arrayed before you will feel like the prescription for stupidly-priced fun and adventure. Case in point: those many-multi-hour (yet highly reduced) Final Fantasies...
In retro news, I've made a big cake with a 25 on it for Ape Escape, the first game to explicitly require a DualShock controller. In these modern times where the dpad is a vestigial limb, it's difficult to explain just how exciting it was to transition from that clunky cross to twin analog sticks. Cameras could be controlled like we were Spielberg. Platforming through a 3D space could be done with a finer degree of accuracy. Using the right stick to swing our weapons was...way less intuitive than just pressing a button.
