um wow if US is getting the Xbox one with Fifa 2014 for 500$ ?


i wonder. why anyone would buy the system from UK then ? lets just everyone pre order it from amazon US. the shipping wont cost the difference and the warrenty as far as i know is international.

430 pounds is 674.84 US Dollar
500 euro is 670.25 US Dollar


shipping amazon US pre order is like what ? 600 including shipping ?

its a free region system.

Of the 13 "Tier 1" countries, only 7 are in Europe : Austria, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom. Only those can get FIFA 14 if they pre-order a console.

It's amazing isn't it? Almost anything they do is always too good to be true. Wait til they announce a new version of GFWL.

So, among people who preorder after Aug 20, the ones living in tier 2 countries don't get anything while the ones living in tier 1 countries get FIFA?

That sounds so wrong lol.

These guys don't even have a PR problem, they are a PR problem.

This is a really good chart. People seems to forget that if you preordered before August 20th in Tier 2 countries you get 2 not 1 game. Makes kind of sense that it wouldn't be FIFA considering it'll probably be sometime in March, but still doesn't make it any less confusing.

Microsoft are being confusing as usual. Not sure if this has been specified on GAF, but FIFA 14 will only come with pre-orders of Xbox One in the 13 countries that the console will launch in in 2013. The other countries, which will get Xbox One in 2014, will not be getting FIFA 14 with their pre-order. Those who pre-ordered the console before August 20 will get two AAA games (not sure which, though they're not Kinect games), however those who pre-order the console now will not get any games for free with their system, at least nothing has been announced for now.

Makes no sense. As usual.

Source is in Swedish: http://www.eurogamer.se/articles/2013-08-21-inget-fifa-14-med-xbox-one-i-sverige

EDIT:



Sorry, I forgot about that. The source says that the 13 countries where the console launch in in 2013 will get it, but that's probably a mistake since Microsoft said it's only for Europe. Unless they've changed their minds again. I seriously have no clue with Microsoft any more, but I think it's safe to say that US won't be getting it. So much for clarifying, haha.

I think you've got your facts confused. You have to be Europe + Tier 1 + Pre-order to qualify.

thats why i said IF US is getting it " because the OP says Tier 1 countries and USA included since its Tier 1 country " or one of the 13 counties under tier 1.

Yes, but isn't it "one of two" unannounced free games?

FIFA 14 is not one the two games, if that's what you're asking.

Yeah. I'll add that to the OP.

"While stock lasts" because MS only paid EA for a limited number of FIFA 14 licenses. Nothing more, nothing less.

Wouldn't it make more sense to offer pre-orders to all people who pre-order?

The ones that reserved the earliest copies are already committed and convinced, it's the ones who haven't that Microsoft needs to worry about, that 4 to 1 gap that users are reporting on?

At this point in time I'm really not interested in their console but I honestly feel a bit sorry for those who want to pledge their support for it so early. They don't deserve this.

I really don't understand why MS just can't be clear. It's becoming a joke at this point. Although I'm expecting further clarification soon.

So I won't get anything because
1-i live in Belgium.
2-i wanted to pre-order at the end of this month. (After the 20th)

So i won't get two random games, not even a fifa and will have to pay 500€ for a 6month old console, 65€ for 4/5 month old games that some people got free.

what ? lol i was asking a serious question i do not live there lol.

i am just saying when i compared the prices i didnt add into it any tax/vat

Every single country in the entire world has taxes. The country would collapse without them. You're talking about importing taxes between USA and Europe, and they definitely exist. The European Union wants to lower the trade with the US and Asia to benefit the European countries. You have to pay VAT to your government, in addition to all the other fees.

Hasan, I'm not saying this to insult you or be mean or anything like that, but you really should pay more attention to school if you don't know how basic taxes work. That's pretty important to know in life, mate.

My friend, think about what you are asking. :)
Click to expand...

bro, as you know for sure, the TAX/VAT is included in the price of the items when you see a price tag in some countries. in US/Canada they don't

i was only replying to the dude who told me to stop because there are taxes. thats all :)

I think the tax/VAT is included for EU.

this.

if the tax/vat is included, then the xbox one will cost like 550$ compared to the other regions. which is much cheaper to import.

no insults taken. and sorry if i do not know the basics of taxes. but as i live in Saudi Arabia. we do not have taxes at all. " or maybe the tax is included in the items we pay" but no one mentions it and we didn't study it :)

the only place where i had to pay tax is when i was in Canada studying in the University :) " and even then i got almost all the tax i paid back when i finished"

anyway sorry if i offended someone about this ^_^

So, territories' where the console is coming in 2014 won't get FIFA. That makes sense considering it'll be a sports game that's 6 months old by that time. MS has already said that there will be other comparable package's coming but just unannounced.

NA will get their free game but it won't be FIFA. That makes sense as well.

The only "confusion" here is what game will everyone else be getting who doesn't live in launch day 2013 Europe/UK.

It's really not the brain twister the op made it out to be.
