Yeah... A choice...
$459 for a ps3 with drive club and madden and a more powerful system.
$499 for an xb1 with madden, kinect and a weaker system.
I mean its closer, but still pretty clear.

What's the chances this could be a timed exclusive on next gen machines?
Just Bayern vs. Dortmund in the 2013 Champions League final...

What really doesn't make sense is that this screen is from a champions league final. And FIFA doesn't have the Champions League license.

Reeks of fanboy banter when there's nothing else to say. It clearly adds nothing to the discussion much like some of the half assed responses coming from some Sony and MSFT supporters.
You get the PS+ edition if you sign up. Not only is it not the same thing as this deal, but what was up with your original comment?
Console ? Yes. Game ? No. People nowdays buy games like icecreams they don't wait months to buy game*
*depending if you live outside US/EU
People watching it play FIFA/PES. Banner in game is pointless.

That was the CL final. It's very much true that the vast majority of Fifa and Pes players are playstation gamers, and sponsoring the likes of the CL and WC only tightens their grip.
Have you considered applying some basic math to that decision?
You were already going to get Madden 25 I assume. If you get it on PS4 even if MS bundled it you would save $40 and still end up with more powerful hardware and the better version of the game. The choice still seems pretty clear.Or they could just buy it on PS4 and still save money. The game isn't exclusive to Xbox One. It's a nice incentive but I don't really think it's enough. If the systems had the same price then I could see it being really impactful.

zero.
I only got to watch 5 minutes of the match, so I apologize. That and I can only read English, Spanish and some French

Why do people keep bringing up the PS+ version of DC which is basically a demo?
Yep.

Madden 25 for the us would get me to keep preorder (probably).
It's also not the full retail edition but a bit stripped down.

It all makes sense.
Not hard to put 2 and 2 together. Lol at localization issues. True colors are flying high.
It all makes sense.
- Microsoft announces they are not launching in 8 originally planned countries this year.
- Microsoft now announces FIFA is bundled with every Xbone sold in Europe
- But how do we preorder when all the stores say sold out?
- Starting today we are opening back up preorders thanks to a recent ramp up in production that exceeded expectations.

Desperation smells a lot better than whatever the fuck Driveclub is
Sony desperation with Instant Game Collection was the best, free games every month is insane. I wish MS would have been that desperate, instead all we get is FIFA at launch.

1) PS4 + Fifa is still cheaper, but it's much closer now to the point where it's not a huge advantage (still an advantage though), especially for those who were planning to already get Fifa. When you factor in the PS4 Eye, the X1 is equivalent pricing (4 euro's cheaper for the X1, but whatever that's basically equivalent). The real question is how much will people value Kinect and whether it's worth the 40 euro's more than the stock PS4 without the Eye.
2) Assuming this is not just for Day One editions, this will help the standard edition preorders which are still ongoing, and also general sales of the console at retail once it's launched.
3) Some will wait, some won't. Some will also not wait and import the X1 since it's region free. There's still a chance people not in launch territories to get an X1 this year.
I'm not from Europe, but from everything I read on Gaf, this sounds like it will be a pretty big deal as Fifa is a bigger title over there than it is in the US.

I'm sure there's an endgame to this plan that doesn't involve getting pwned in Yurop.

Random musing again.
European pricing doesn't tend to be as uniform, afaik.
Is there anything to stop retailers from creating their own FIFA PS4 bundles anyway - even if Microsoft end up doing so officially "exclusively" with the XB1?

Even if it's really FIFA I will still get the PS4 version, a free FIFA doesn't make it up for me personally. Plus, a PS4 with FIFA is still cheaper than a XBONE with free FIFA...

So what you are trying to say is that Fifa players don't watch the CL?

That PS+ version of Driveclub is not going to be the full game. It'll be a glorified demo.

I'm sure they do but that doesn't mean they only drink Coke, Fly Emirates, use Tmobile, etc.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I don't think could stand in the way of retailer bundles.
Nothing. Every retailer can bundle up console and as much stuff as it want it.

This is great news.
It's free if you were dead set on ordering a Xbox One, day one.

So European Xbone buyers get a free copy of Forza 5 and FIFA 2014?
If I could use my G27 I'd buy one over a PS4, come on you fucking Microsoft idiots.

Feature complete with lacking cars/tracks. I do believe they will price the full game upgrade modestly affordable instead of the full 60USD. Don't fret.
I haven't paid much attention to gaming side the last few days, but has drive club been confirmed as a pack-in for PS4?
Last I heard it would be free for PS+ but it would be a gimped version and even they full version was being delayed from launch day to 'launch window'.

One minute we're discussing a Kinectless Xbox One for $399 and now we are cost comparing PS4/Playstation Eye versus Xbox One/Kinect.
Oh, NEOGAF you never change.

please understand.
That's because the Champions League is affiliated with UEFA not FIFA. The license is exclusive to PES.
