while stock last in the INFINITE CLOUD
Not in Australia.
I don't know, but, typically, the people who really buy their consoles just for FIFA don't buy their consoles at launch. Majority of my 'FIFA + COD only' mates are just sticking to current gen till the next-gen gets cheaper. Regardless, free game is good for those who will get it.

If kinect is a key variable so is the much more powerful hardware of the PS4.

They only payed EA for a specific amount.

Even though I couldn't personally give two shits about any sports games the significance of FIFA free in EU cant be understated.
Still not going to beat Sony's numbers either way. Too strong a lead plus....this "briefing" briefed nothing new aside from Fable and "Cobalt"

The response would probably be to negative.

A decent incentive, although does this mean they haven't sold out on their allocated stock?

So now its not good enough if a free game is digital, its only good if its physical?
Some of you need to stop.

While stock lasts
This holiday? Suck on that Tier 2 and Tier 3 Europe.
"pre-order Xbox One" stocks
There are only so many bytes you can give out before they run out!
Thats fine and dandy but people are yelling "shots fired!" when it still costs more

Obviously they bought a certain allocation from EA and once they have hit that cap they can't distribute any more.
It's not rocket science guy.
It obviously means stocks for XO preorders.

We'll all be looking forward to your "insider" retail information of how badly the One will tank in the UK. Lol. Can't believe anyone takes you seriously.
There is only so much memory rams in the world jonny.
Happens in Steam too, they have an stock of keys, once they run out is over, I don't see what's so hard to understand.

The indies policies are in the right direction, new Fable, and a free FIFA for pre-orders, all good news all around, but people still hating and loling, ok...

Laughing at the pre-orders only part because it will do nothing for the barren January to July period Nintendo just went through with record breaking terrible sales.
Sure it may put the pre-orders slightly less in favour of PS4, but they haven't planned for after the initial sales period at all with this move.

Did they say it was for Australia too? Or just Europe?

Yeah, and delayed countries are supposed to get a free game as well. Will that be FIFA?

So, no Crackdown 3 then? Very disappointing :/ Interested in Fable Legends although online only is a bit of a disappointment.

More like fuck yeah for me, I don't want discs for my X1.
Yeah it's a download. A download unlocked by a code in the box. You can run out of boxes with codes in them.

Aah some may hate free game but im dutch i like my free shit...
The indie early leak really stole the spark of this presentation. Maybe that's the real reason it wasn't streamed. Without it, this showcase didnt have anything meaningful. Now only remains sony, which will obviously screw up and we will end up with a forgettable gamescom. What a pity.
Peggle 2 exclusivity window. Game changer.
No, that's not how it works. We're moving more towards virtual servers and instances because that means a lot easier scaling. Actual buying dedicated boxes that run OS's is pretty old school.
And yes, it's available to anyone who wants to do it, virtual or full, that's not the topic at hand though is it?
Also: I think the Azure platform kinda sucks. But that's a different story.
yeah thats hilarious
Nice Qatar Airways advertising.
