I went to download the fifa demo on my xbone and it's showing as $4.99. Price error or EA at their finest?

Update: EA to fix

They are saving that for the world cup edition demo

TrueGrime · Jul 4, 2014

Wow EA. You have to pay for the UFC demo too.

Soo, not a price error?

"Next gen costs?"
Eh, pretty annoying to be honest

BeforeU · Jul 4, 2014

This is indeed wtf moment if true.

cavemancolton · Jul 4, 2014

Is this still a paid demo?

Naminator · Jul 4, 2014

Just one step closer to paying for bullets.

cavemancolton said:

Yes.

But we already discussed it to death.

foxbeldin · Jul 4, 2014

Cheaper than ground zeroes at least.

Edit : beaten

Nope. I tried checking the NBA Live demo but it says its unavailable.

I was waiting for someone to say this actually

SteveWinwood · Jul 4, 2014

EA is hilarious.

PeskyToaster · Jul 4, 2014

Just an fyi the FIFA demo was free on PS4 as of last week. Wonder why the disparity?

Edited to add on PS4. A very important detail

RoKKeR · Jul 4, 2014

You sure its not a glitch? Downloaded it for free a few months ago.

USC-fan · Jul 4, 2014

Must be a mistake I played it free on ps4.

Rourkey · Jul 4, 2014

Gotta take advantage of the USA's World Cup run!

That's not fair at all. I think I grabbed that for free on ps4.

WarpathDC · Jul 4, 2014

Same here on ps4 around launch, but it's definitely showing as 4.99 on xbl right now.

mullet2000 · Jul 4, 2014

Obviously a pricing error, guys.

TrueGrime · Jul 4, 2014

Can any PS4 peeps check it right now?

Destroyah · Jul 4, 2014

both, UFC and FIFA are free for me. try restart your console using SETTINGS --> NETWORK --> ALTERNATE MAC ADRESS --> CLEAR --> RESTART

UFC shows up as free on both PS4 and Xbox One for me.

Edit: Fifa demo is free on PS4. Didn't check Xbone.

mohsinkhan · Jul 4, 2014

Both demos are free for me on x1, I am in North America btw.

Cuyejo · Jul 4, 2014

C'mon, not even EA would do this...

right?

BananasWithGuns · Jul 4, 2014

Showing as $4.99 for me. Very Strange. I'd anticipate it being fixed fairly quickly.

barit · Jul 4, 2014

What the hell ? Is this true ? EA must be nuts. Fuck this awful company. I knew why I boycott them several years already. (except FIFA 14 but that was my last FIFA too)

Edit: I see it was an error but I still want to rant

Tried.

Both still showing paid for me. I clicked on it for shits and giggles and it will definitely charge my credit card if I went a step further.

North America.

stitch512 · Jul 4, 2014

I honestly did not believe you, but it was $6.99. Actually while typing this I double checked and it now says Free. So looks like it was an error.

ye oflittle faith. seems to be a glitch.

PES runs on the Fox engine so maybe Konami will have a paid demo too.

Jdnathan11 · Jul 4, 2014

Shits free on ps4, so idk man. Not worth it obviously.

Rivitur · Jul 4, 2014

Someone buy this so you can see if they give you your money back or maybe a personal apology.
Make it a big deal and take it to Kotaku.

stitch512 · Jul 4, 2014

This is clearly MS trying to bridge the gap between PS4 and Xbone in terms of $$. Next is full DRM and 24hr checks.

Joke

Fixed in Australia, showing Free now.

biRdy · Jul 4, 2014

Both Fifa and UFC have been free its obviously some sort of error

Chanser · Jul 4, 2014

Witness the future.

Yes I know it's a pricing error

Lord of Castamere · Jul 4, 2014

PS Now has already changed the face of gaming and it's only in Beta.

/s

Card Boy · Jul 4, 2014

Would not surprise me one bit if it does turn out to be EA standard 10 years from now to charge for demos. "Demos cost money to make"!

Sloane · Jul 4, 2014

"Pricing error" or test run?

Japanmanx3 · Jul 4, 2014

Wait. Wow! Wowowow!!! That's crazy...

Dat sweet, sweet error money though.

Crayons · Jul 4, 2014

What if it's not a mistake and EA wants to see how many idiots are willing to pay for it

norealmx · Jul 4, 2014

Oh, so that's why they dropped WiiU support... snaky.

The BF4 demo was $60

REMEMBER CITADEL · Jul 4, 2014

Does it have achievements?

I downloaded the UFC demo for free the other day, it's an error.

Kriken · Jul 4, 2014

TrueGrime said:

That's disgusting if true

Edit: Seems like pricing error is the most likely culprit, although why a demo has a price is beyond me

That was PES 2014.
