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.

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.

1)Better Games
Those are personal preference
2)Better Hardware
They are basically the same
3)Better Design
Again Personal PReference
4)Better Interface
And yet again personal preference
5)Better Online Service
We dont know how they are going to be
6)Better Customer Service
Always had bad customer service with MS
7)Playing Skyrim Online
Also PS4 plays
8)Playing Destiny Online
Yet againPS4 also plays
9)Dedicated Servers
Even the PS4 has dedicated servers, not a lot like MS, but they have
10)Better tech
Again they are both nearly identical in tech

As a general observation In this era of free to play / pay to win "which EA is firmly behind" (as its a con and EA like cons) I wouldn't trust any EA product to be a the full on experience anyway. So when M$ (and others) start declaring free stuff my default position is to assume its a "generous demo" not a full game.

Microsoft should bring out a bundle for North America. I'm not expecting anything being free, but anything to make the purchase more reasonable for consumers.

@Stevo_the_gamer Xbox sells like hot cakes in the US, MS bundled Fifa for European pre-orders only to sell and set a userbase in a region where Xbox sales aren't particularly high. MS isn't concerned about sales in the US.

@GamerYnoX @Stevo_the_gamer Yes they are. VZCharts posted pre orders numbers and MS is being destroyed.

@zintarr @GamerYnoX @Stevo_the_gamer You'll see, most gamers in the US specially those between 12-18 yo just play shooters and arent aware of all the MS BS that has been happening. Those people and many more will adopt the console that offers more shooters which is very probably the X1. I'm not defending MS just pointing out that the console will sell well in US territory and most likely follow its success like in this current gen.

@Stevo_the_gamer I don't see a reason to they have the US market EU market is next & Fifa 14 is the most popular game over there & that may help them get more units than the competition in that market region.

@demonkingx5 @Stevo_the_gamer I'm referring to something like a Forza bundle where they include the game, and an extra controller/play and charge for like $600.

@Stevo_the_gamer they would probably point to killer instinct. but I would rather have a full free game like EU.

@BottleOp @Stevo_the_gamer I believe it's rather silly to expect a free full game for North America. For Europe it was a good deal because the price of the hardware itself was so high.

Sounds like another flip-flop. So if what they said at Gamescom was enough to motivate you to preorder a non-Day One edition, you basically got trolled
