[Transistor]

Smart. Europe loves them some Fifa

 

[ramparter]

Both Fifa and Pro on the name, EA has no prob with this?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Both Fifa and Pro on the name, EA has no prob with this?

Why would they? It prints money.

 

[Eldon]

Well, it totally makes sense.
From a competitive standpoint, Xbox One was the official platform.
Now, with Icons everywehere, it's clear that the platform of choice is gonna be the PS4 (Pro)

 

[pitchfork]

Good timing I guess..Get the talk away from the PS+ price rise

 

[bombshell]

7 different bundles? lol insane

This will sell boatloads in EU.

 

[Savantcore]

Enjoy your billion pounds, Sony.

 

[Real_Madrid]

Smart move, although almost all stores made there own PS4 Fifa bundle in the past. People in Europe buy consoles for Fifa.

 

[Ydelnae]

Might as well include a copy of Thief with that huge ass CR picture.

 

[Nestunt]

Maybe these Pro bundles mean better support for the system.

 

[Guymelef]

lol.

[black070]

3 days early access ? These are gonna fly off the shelves.

 

[InsaneTiger]

Both Fifa and Pro on the name, EA has no prob with this?

I'm sure saw this before we did. How is this a bad thing?

 

[McMoneyman]

3 days early access ? These are gonna fly off the shelves.

How early is that compared to EA Access on Xbox?

 

[black070]

How early is that compared to EA Access on Xbox?

EA Access will probably be a 10 hour trial a week early as per usual, but this nets you the full physical game 3 days early, so it should do really well.

 

[JaffeLion]

How early is that compared to EA Access on Xbox?

you can play fifa 18 on xbox one with ea access without any extra costs on 21th september for up to 10 hours.

 

[Guymelef]

XBO UK decline stars here.

 

[Donos]

Huh, is the Xbox Fifa partnership over?

Fifa is a juggernaut in EU. Lots of €€€.

 

[AndyVirus]

Get a FIFA & GT Sport bundle ready for Christmas. That thing will sell crazy in Europe.

 

[Shin-Ra]

XBO UK decline stars here.

It started earlier this year with the gulf in game releases.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Huh, is the Xbox Fifa partnership over?

Fifa is a juggernaut in EU. Lots of €€€.

MS and Fifa partnership never made sense considering how dominant Sony is in Europe. I'm surprised it took this long tbh

Get a FIFA & GT Sport bundle ready for Christmas. That thing will sell crazy in Europe.

yeah, this is prob the best marketing move

 

[Phamit]

Most "casual" player would buy fifa with a ps4 anyway.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Huh, is the Xbox Fifa partnership over?

Fifa is a juggernaut in EU. Lots of €€€.

Yeah, EA announced shortly before E3 that they'd partnered with Sony.

 

[Coxy100]

It started earlier this year with the gulf in game releases.

Come on give it a break. No need for it in this thread.

 

[AmFreak]

Tax-free bundle i see.

 

[Savantcore]

MS and Fifa partnership never made sense considering how dominant Sony is in Europe. I'm surprised it took this long tbh

Hangover from the 360 era. If the X1 wasn't dog shit at launch I imagine they would've made bigger waves in Europe this gen.

 

[darkwing]

but where is the GT Sports bundle

 

[jjonez18]

It was already bad before, but now its official. There's no hope for any other console manufacturer in Europe anymore.

 

[perk1n]

you can play fifa 18 on xbox one with ea access without any extra costs on 21th september for up to 10 hours.

EA access is the extra cost.

Some nice bundles. Maybe I get one.

 

[McMoneyman]

Ahh I wasn't aware you could only play it for a certain amount of time. I thought you just got to play the game really early. Thanks guys!

 

[EmilioLargo]

Nice to see HDR gets implemented.

 

[RoadHazard]

Where's my Pro Slim though?

 

[bombshell]

but where is the GT Sports bundle

These and the Destiny 2 bundles are for September, GT Sport is October. That should be the next in line to be announced.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

This is goin to sell like hotcakes.

 

[Savantcore]

Ahh I wasn't aware you could only play it for a certain amount of time. I thought you just got to play the game really early. Thanks guys!

It's not the whole game either. Journey mode was cut off at a certain point.

I mean, the 10-hour trial was still great, but I think I'd rather the whole thing 3 days early instead.

 

[notaskwid]

The're after the people still playing Fifa on ps3/360 with these bundles for sure.

 

[wrog]

EA Access will probably be a 10 hour trial a week early as per usual, but this nets you the full physical game 3 days early, so it should do really well.

You get 3 days early access with Icon/Ronaldo editions on all platforms.

 

[Collateral22]

yeah, this is prob the best marketing move

They had a 4 game contract starting with FIFA 14.

 

[sems4arsenal]

two words: Hot and cakes

 

[LastGamer84]

Hangover from the 360 era. If the X1 wasn't dog shit at launch I imagine they would've made bigger waves in Europe this gen.

This. Everyone and their mother, including Gamestop, was in the Xbox camp before the generation kicked off. MS then proceeded to shoot themselves in the foot..with a rocket launcher. The deals were already made by that point though. (Gamestop always puzzled me as if the initial Xbox One plan had gone through it would have accelerated their decline but who knows)

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Is this a code or physical? Hopefully it's a code, which would mean dirt cheap Fifa.

 

[Angel_DvA]

That's probably why they raised the PS+ price in Europe, marketing cause a lot of money...

Spoiler

joke

 

[McMoneyman]

Get a FIFA & GT Sport bundle ready for Christmas. That thing will sell crazy in Europe.

Don't forget that Ratchet & Crash bundle for the younger gamers! Not sure where that bundle got released.

 

[black070]

You get 3 days early access with Icon/Ronaldo editions on all platforms.

Oh, I didn't know that - well I'm sure it'll still be flying off shelves because its FIFA lol.

 

[Guymelef]

but where is the GT Sports bundle

Destiny 2 bundle was announced July 10, releases September 6 - 58 days.
FIFA bundla announced July 28, releases September 26 - 60 days.

GT Sport releases October 17. I'm going to bet bundle will be announced in ~ two-three weeks.

Is this a code or physical? Hopefully it's a code, which would mean dirt cheap Fifa.

Physical like any other EU bundles.

 

[Phamit]

The Ronaldo Edition on Xbox One also let's you play 3 days before the standard version, it's not exclusive to this bundle

 

[McMoneyman]

Must say those bundles with the extra controller is probably a pretty sound move for this sort of game.

 

[Savantcore]

Physical like any other EU bundles.

Xbox One S FIFA 17 bundle was a code.
