Earlier this week, EA was offering Battlefield 3 as a free digital download to those who pre-ordered Mass Effect 3 through the firm’s Origin service. The offer wasn’t supposed to expire until March 5, but it looks as though EA ended the deal a bit early, around 2:00 PM EST on February 16 to be exact. Those who got in on the deal before its early demise will receive a code to download the shooter via email by by March 8, which two days after Mass Effect 3 launches in the US. Thanks, Joystiq.

Origin is offering a free copy of Battlefield 3 with US pre-orders for Mass Effect 3, along with the previously-announced bonus weapons, the M55 Argus Assault Rifle and Origin-exclusive AT12 Raider Shotgun. While you’ve got EA’s digital dsitribution client open, note that the PC demo is now live. BioWare’s anticipated RPG hybrid release for PC on March 6 in the US, March 8 in Australia and March 9 in Europe.

A free iOS title called Battlefield 3: Aftershock has been released for iPhone and iPad by EA. It acts as “cross-promotional” release for Battlefield 3 and the feature film Act of Valor. It contains online multiplayer and three weapons, but is missing the previously promised single-player campaign and enemy wave mode. Watching a trailer for Act of Valor will unlock a weapon, and ads for the movie featured in the game are what makes it a free title. According to Shack and Touch Arcade, user reviews state the App contains some glitches and issues with controls, but hopefully an update is on the way. Those who wish to try it out anyway, will need an iPhone 3GS or higher with iOS 4.0 or later installed.

DICE has released patch 1.03 for the PS3 version of Battlefield 3, finally fixing the VoIP issues that have plagued it since launch.

During the publisher’s quarterly financial report, EA’s Peter Ausnit said new DLC for Battlefield 3 would be detailed at a New York event next week. Battlefield 3 released in October 2011 and is yet to receive any DLC beyond pre-order and special edition content, some of which was later unlocked for all players following a timed exclusive. EA claims the shooter now holds 24% of its genre market.
