Free FIFA 14 on Xbox One only with Day One Edition preorders

Microsoft clarifies that bundled copies of FIFA 14 will only come with preorders of a European Xbox One Day One Edition.

1017 Comments

Microsoft has clarified that only European preorders of the Xbox One Day One Edition will be eligible for a free copy of FIFA 14 when the console launches this November.

No Caption Provided

During Gamescom 2013, Microsoft announced that all Xbox One preorders in Europe would receive a download code for the latest iteration of EA's long-running football series.

Microsoft has not confirmed whether a similar promotion will take place in North America.

"Had a few questions on this so wanted to clarify: FIFA 14 will only come free with Xbox One Day One Edition pre-orders, while stocks last," tweeted Xbox community manager Graeme "AceyBongos" Boyd earlier today.

"If you have already preordered a Day One Edition Xbox One, or preorder one from now on while stocks last, you will receive FIFA 14 free."

Amazon UK has currently run out of its current allocation of Day One Edition preorders, but other major retailers still have stock. The Day One Edition of the Xbox One comes with a custom commemorative controller and a code to unlock an exclusive Day One Achievement.

"Another important note--the Day One Edition Xbox One FIFA 14 offer is valid in Europe, this holiday, while stocks last," added Boyd.

The Xbox One will launch this November for £429/€499/$499.

Even if your in Europe, pre-ordered the 1st day edition, and like FIFA, one game shouldn't decide what console your going to have for the next 5-7 years.

Sony Fanboy logic example #348

Microsoft Rep: We're including a free game with every console purchase.

Sony Fanboy: Psh. Disgusting bribe. Who you trying to fool, MS?!

Sony Rep: We're including a free game with every console purchase.

Sony Fanboy: SONY LOVES US! THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE! WEEW!

@JBStone1981 Never mind that the very comment you are referencing also bashes Sony for doing something similar. You do make it difficult not to stereotype you, yourself, as a fanatic. The very kind of person you would seem to despise. A "cloney" as you put it.

1st point, PS4 is cheaper by a $100.

2nd point, Xbone services only work in US during launch and wont work in UK till late 2014. Hence, this "freebie" was meant to get preorders up in UK.

3rd point, stop being so delusional

@Dreamzfire @JBStone1981 1st point: So what? You're getting more features with the XBox One. And seriously, if $100 is a dealbreaker for you, then you probably shouldn't be wasting money on a console to being with.

Second point, I don't know what "Xbone services" means, but most of the services they offer will work everywhere, with some exceptions. The UK is getting voice control.

Third point, you're a Cloney who doesn't even know the facts. Shut up.

@JBStone1981 Yeah, no sh!t. They said they same thing about Viacom Cable TV coming to the PS4. When Cable TV was announce for XB1 they bashed it to death. When it was announce for the PS4, they were either praising it or damage controlling. Cows are such hypocrites.

Meanwhile, in the real world:

Microsoft Rep: We're giving away a free game with each console.

Sony Rep: Why would we do that? **** the fans. We already have their money.

@JBStone1981 @RainIsMyDrug So, if you're not offering a free game with the console, you don't give a **** about the fans?

@Ehggsz Straw man. It's not that you're critical of MS, because I have been critical of them as well. It's that your criticism in this case is absurd. Giving away a free game is a good thing, and trying to sully it is just something bitter Sony fans do.

@RainIsMyDrug @Ehggsz It's probably the deal they could get. Who knows? At least someone's getting something for free. That's better than no one getting anything.

@RainIsMyDrug @JBStone1981 When they original announced it, they said it would be in Europe. Still waiting for them to announce something for the other regions.

Is that comment at me? All I'm saying is aren't we all buying the same system> Why do half the world get a free game while half the people get nothing or is in the dark about getting something?

@JBStone1981 @Ehggsz @RainIsMyDrug You assume too much, I think. I guess if you speak out against Microsoft, even in the slightest, you must be a Sony loyalist because there are no other platforms that people care about, right? Or even less likely yet, someone who doesn't align themselves with a company. That would just be ludicrous!

It's is as a comsumer we are buying the same system are we not or am I missing something here? Maybe the Xbox one in other world beside the region based is more powerful or come at the with some more stuff that I don't know about.

@Ehggsz @JBStone1981 @RainIsMyDrug I'm not saying they're doing it out of the kindness of the hearts, I'm saying there's an obvious double-standard among you Sony clones. (Cloneys? Yes, I think so) If Sony had done it, you'd all be cheering them on for being "consumer friendly," but because it's MS, you're calling it a bribe.

@JBStone1981 @RainIsMyDrug Only partially true. To play online, you'll need a PS+ subscription (which I'd rather not have). Subscribers get a free watered down version of Driveclub.

And when determining whether or not Microsoft's offer is borderline bribe, you just need to look at the title they're giving away and the region they are giving it away in. Little things that require very little deductive skills to see. I don't mean to burst your bubble, but the world is not black and white. If you don't think there is at least some kind of selfishness behind their incentive, then you are fooling yourself.

@RainIsMyDrug Yeah, and people all over the world would like to buy PS4. Why do they all get nothing?

Are you really trying to say Sony is better because they're giving away nothing?

@RainIsMyDrug @JBStone1981 Better than nothing from Sony. You realize people live in Europe, right? It's not like they're offering this to a small tribe of aboriginals somewhere. I'm starting to think rain ain't your only drug, homie.

@RainIsMyDrug @gamist The FIFA 14 pack-in exclusively for Europe... Never have I seen such a blatant bribe since the free games Sony gave away after their hacking fiasco.

Football is huge in Europe so it's good for them, but they try to dress it up by calling it an "incentive". Who are they trying to fool?
