I bought my game through gamestop in the start of july, as a physical copy(i dont like digital downloads). My initial code came back with an "Invalid or in use" 12-digit number for my ps3. It seems Gamestop has some backup codes and with a phone call and a trip down to the physical store they gave me a new pre-oder code that worked like a charm, no error 3's and instant download. So anyone who ordered through them who still has this error there might be a way out for you. Good luck to everyone and hope to see you in EA!
