I got the white screen of death too, but befor the game starts. Deleting the file "PROF_SAVE_profile" in the Battlefield 3 directory (not origin) fixed it. But i need to do it every time i want to play...
Think I will get it soon.
Looks like fun and its not that expensive in germany (39 £). Normal price for games...
but for PC 'cos console sucks (yes i have a ps3 just for blu rays )
