I doubt the US will get anything extra. No reason to throw away money when the systems are already sold.

I don't know what details are in the license agreement, but I'm not sure it says that EA has to release a FIFA on all platforms.
But I'm just saying that in order for this deal to make an impact, it has to be something like this, just pack in with the machine does not make sense, even you have to agree with this.

If this Fifa rumor is correct, it's probably going to be Madden is North America.
Although, I really have no idea how much Fifa sells in the states, but I imagine Madden would be a bigger draw.

Called it, the deal ran deeper than that exclusive Ultimate Team thing.
This is insane, you need one hell of a money
to pull this off.

Except it says this...
It's not only on Xbox 360 or Xbox One, it's also on PC. So that alone makes it false.
It's also on PS4 (and maybe PS3? Idr). So labeling it as an "exclusive" is just straight up bullshit.
It's bullshit like them claiming to be the "most powerful console ever made."
"But da cloud." Except, not all Xbox's are guaranteed online now. Not only that but IF they were allowed to include the "cloud" processing as part of the in box product description, Google would be able to list any and every android phone as the most powerful as they have the largest "cloud" network in the world.
But they don't, because they aren't full of shit.
Yes, I'm mad. It's blatantly wrong and yet they keep trying to get away with this shit.
You know what else is wrong?
Using AA batteries in 2013.

lol, now you're just being a baby.
You don't know who that is playing and you are in a FIFA thread.
What more is there to say.
It's just the Champions League final. Maybe you heard of it.
Hell no! Eneloops for the win!

I'm sure someone will call them on it. Through legal ways, embarrassment or something else.

Jesus, are Microsoft's pockets endless?
This is not that big considering their botched launch in Europe but I am kinda surprised how much Microsoft is willing to spend on Xbone.

The headset should have been included from the jump. They get no bonus points for doing what they should have done in the first place.
A free game is nice, but not as nice as dumping the camera and dropping the price.

I would imagine Microsoft would include a clause barring EA from making a deal with Sony to match their offer to gamers. If not, I would simply match the games if I were Sony to nullify it. really the only thing to do to match this kind of impact without EA's help is to offer Call of Duty.

Smart move, but still more expensive than the PS4. So, not sure how much this will help.

Just trying to blend in.
Sony appear to be in bed with Activision (Destiny exclusive content, Diablo 3 marketing) already.
I'm actually not convinced it's even true. I feel like it's crossed wires with the 'delayed territories get a free game' thing.

MS was ripped before the DRM changes and equally ripped after the DRM changes. As I said, it has become in vogue to simply trash anything MS does. Free game? Better find a way to spin it as a negative.
At this point, I won't continue the back-and-forth with you because, like I said, trying to convince someone whose position is firmly entrenched is recipe to go nowhere. You seem stuck in your beliefs, and I simply will not engage in a debate with someone who has an inflexible opinion. Cheers.

Ignoring the obvious hyperbole surrounding most powerful console, you're focusing far too much on what is essentially a mistake and if you'd bother to read the page, they clearly state at the bottom that Titanfall will be on PC and 360.
Mistakes happen. It's not part of some crazy Microsoft conspiracy to misinform gamers. I'm sure if/when someone notices or reports the mistake, it will be corrected.

Its ok i'm only replying so i can see moore mandy =]
It definitely supports it anyway.
Which actually gets my to ask: Will FIFA14 still be included if Xbone releases in the eight "missing" European countries? It will be rather old then.
So, if you're Dutch, do you import a Xbone from Germany because you get FIFA or do you wait and hold on your pre-order because there's some (other? additional?) game promised for your domestic launch? What if FIFA won't be included? Would be really funny not only to get the console late but at a worse value-for-money ratio.

Not believing anything until tomorrow. Months ago, people thought BF4 was going to be exclusive to Xbox One.

Isn't a ps4 with fifa 14 still much cheaper than this...
It's good to add value, but that price in the UK is horrendous.

Oh sure I agree. It's a simple bundle deal. It'll provide some incentive to someone on the fence and who wanted Fifa. But that's about it.
Tbh this makes me think MS haven't even sold out of their European launch allocations - otherwise you wouldn't need to incentivise launch sales. That's pretty bad if true.
Not much. No retail markup, waive MS license fee, assume digital download to save printing costs.
If you continue to read the thread, you'll see that I acknowledged that. I can't read whatever language the broadcast picture was in and colors aren't my strong suit. Thanks for your educational critique, maybe next time you can teach me why they pass the ball.

God I hope it ends up being Kinectimals 2.
Although I expect it to be FIFA, "Ultimate Fighter" (or whatever that exclusive ubi game was called) would be great for the lolz... :-D

Sony's bribe, I mean PS+ is the bomb. Nothing wrong with bribes.

I'll keep saying it, they should add a years Gold to the bundle and they'll have gone some way to addressing the price difference between the two.

Everyone here with a job can afford both.
Hardcore fanboyism is funny though. Just buy both.
Alot worse u can do with a grand in a year.

Not anymore, they aren't. Sony let Microsoft take over the co-marketing deal from FIFA 14 onwards.
Plus, nobody said FIFA 14 is exclusive. Just that this is an exclusive bundle. When combined with the co-marketing deal it makes perfect sense.

This is quite possible. I think that only UK preorders are on levels, but mainland Europe is far below threshold.

Seems like we'll know 1 AM PT, 4 AM EST.
IGN just posted a new article saying their Xbox One coverage will start then with an announcement.

Will they really be that put out? It will sell most on current gen platforms, not next-gen. If the X1 pre-orders aren't performing as expected, this would help and a buyer would also be likely to pick up another game anyway.
Poke the UK advertising standards authority about it, they have told off websites before.
