RESPONSE TWEET

Graeme Boyd @AceyBongos

@brownmurder That's incorrect. Day One Editions only. I've let the team on that Twitter account know.

This tweet corrects an earlier tweet from the official Xbox One feed which is now said to have been made in error:
INITIAL TWEET

@Xbox

@Ianoconnor22 All pre-orders come with FIFA 14 in Europe, Ian. Doesn't matter if it's a Day One console or not.

Still confused?

only Day-1 edition preorders.

glaurung · Sep 2, 2013

I've read on GAF that FIFA 14 sucks nard compared to PS3 PES anyhow.

bidguy · Sep 2, 2013

nice
already sold the code for 40

pixlexic · Sep 2, 2013

Some how I already knew this. Wasn't it confirmed before?

Impeccable · Sep 2, 2013

That's not confusing at all.

I'm reading that as Day One editions, period. I imagine there will be plenty of those on eBay, and the way I'm reading this is those will be eligible as well.

EnVy_CaLiBeR · Sep 2, 2013

Makes sense.

To whom? Surely anybody that wants it at this point in time will get it with their console anyway.

Sintoid · Sep 2, 2013

Seen Saturday on Italian Gamestop

JawzPause · Sep 2, 2013

Haha with Day one editions being mostly sold out I see no point to this promotion besides false advertising.

Ardenyal · Sep 2, 2013

Someone needs to update the chart to make any sense of this.

Sethos · Sep 2, 2013

I mean, it was cute at first with all the 180* and misleading statements but does that have to encompass every. single. thing they do?

I'm afraid to wake up one morning and find out they're now an ice cream manufacturer.

What's confusing about it? All Day One Editions will get FIFA 14.

Phinor · Sep 2, 2013

So basically incentive only to those who have already pre-ordered. Makes pre-ordering the console even less desirable now when you know other people got the better deal already, or rather, you are getting the worse deal.

KingHippo1967 · Sep 2, 2013

The exact wording delivered by Phil Harrison at Gamescom was:

"All pre-orders for Xbox One this holiday will include a copy of FIFA 14 at no additional cost. All pre-orders to date and whilst stocks last."

He then showed an image of the Xbox One packaging, and it wasn't a Day One edition (the controller didn't have the writing on it).

famousmortimer · Sep 2, 2013

Why is it that this console cycle microsoft can't do anything right? I mean they are flubbing a goddamn pack-in! The point of this pack in is to create more value in the higher price point and to appease customers. Instead they just made every single person who thought they were getting fifa that just found out they aren't reassess whether that pisses them off enough to just cancel the order.

Guymelef · Sep 2, 2013

I don't think that is a problem.
I can see lots of day one edition in european stores for months after the release.

Doctor_Thomas · Sep 2, 2013

What is the allocation for "day 1" editions?

T.O.P · Sep 2, 2013

Got a day1 console pre-ordered with Fifa 14 and Forza 5 for free a couple of weeks ago, confirmed by the guys at mediaworld

So i hope i'm good

That's why:

At Microsoft's Gamescom showcase, it was revealed that all European Xbox One pre-orders will receive a free copy of FIFA 14. Even pre-orders that have already been placed will be upgraded with a free copy of the game.

Is nothing about the Xbox One not confusing as fuck?

Pirzolaman · Sep 2, 2013

Well the good thing is, you can just sell the download code so you will get the console for cheaper price.

Y2Kev · Sep 2, 2013

I don't get it. If you preorder a console and get it day 1, it could be something other than a day 1 edition?

Saint of Killers · Sep 2, 2013

pixlexic said:

Yeah, but according to EuroGamer a tweet to the contrary (that all pre-orders get FIFA) still exists online and so I guess there was a need for a little more clarification.

Has MS said one thing that hasn't been confusing about xb1 yet?

Pretty much.

Not all consoles sold on day 1 will be day 1 editions.

Amir0x · Sep 2, 2013

Oh lordy Microsoft, get your shit together lol

Neuromancer · Sep 2, 2013

Nothing stops this train.

LiquidMetal14 · Sep 2, 2013

I'm convinced MSFT just wants people talking about Xbone.

Freki · Sep 2, 2013

Shouldn't the thread title read: "[Clarification] Xbox One’s free FIFA 14 for Day One Edition pre-orders only"?

Loudninja · Sep 2, 2013

I don't understand why they cant give a clear message across.

Wat? So what is a Day 1 edition?

BlazingDarkness · Sep 2, 2013

Thread title is confusing.
Is it all pre-orders or day-one only?
I still don't know lol

or care much. tbh

No Allard or Bach. They held the division together and it crumbled without their leadership.

Amir0x · Sep 2, 2013

It features...

...and I shit you not...

...a "commemorative controller" (same exact controller but with Day One Edition stamped in the center) and a special 'achievement' for getting the Day 1 console.

Seriously. An achievement.

It is what we say it is. Now you buying Xbone or what?

"while stocks last"

Amazon UK ran out of Day 1 editions with Fifa 14 and now only sell the standard edition: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BE4OUBG/

Day 1 Edition without the writing on the controller as seen on Amazons pre-order page:

It also now has FIFA 14... if you are in Tier 1 Europe. (WHILE STOCKS LAST.)

Majanew · Sep 2, 2013

Put Madden 25 in my US pre-order, MS!

Yep, so you can preorder the Day One edition and still not get FIFA14 for free.

CTLance · Sep 2, 2013

"stocks didn't last".

Well, whatever. It's just hilarious that once again MS public messaging is completely and utterly bonkers.

Seriously. They really need someone to tape all public-facing mouths shut and only allow for them to say anything once it's been cleared by all relevant departments.

One of these days they'll stumble in a way that'll get them busted for false advertising or something similar. Now that would be a fun day on gaf.

Only those who pre-order the Xbox One Day One Edition will get a free copy of FIFA 14, Microsoft has confirmed.

You do realize how much that controller will be worth down the line, right? You could ebay that thing for $20-30 easily.
