EA has since apologized for this and later issued codes for PS3 users to download Battlefield 1943 for a limited time in response to the lawsuit, and also kept the one-week early access deal for not only Back to Karkand but all future expansions for the game as well.

To compensate for this, EA and Sony announced that all PSN users would get a week early access to Back to Karkand.
