The rumour seems to be FIFA 14. I'm sceptical personally but if it is it suggests one of two things.. A) Microsoft have given EA a staggering amount of money to do it. or B) EA believe the XBox One is going to sell in such mediocre numbers that it's not too much of a loss to them to take an up-front payment rather than sales. Plus of course FIFA 14 as a pack-in does little for the US market and the XBox One so far as been a pretty US-centric product. If it's FIFA 14 in Europe and Madden in the US, then I can only imagine how much money EA will have demanded for that. And there is the point that PS4+FIFA 14 = £390 XBox One + 'free' FIFA 14 = £430 Of course, knowing MS's luck this generation, it will also turn out to be a year when PES is the much better game...

Have they actually got a specific list of pre-order stores I wonder?

Xbox One at Gamescom: Indies, Fable Legends, Call of Duty: Ghosts Some very good moves there. I wonder will PS4 eventually get it's own dedicated CoD servers? It's infuriating relying on the world's idiots

^^^Completely agree, which is why I'm holding off buying a PS4 at the moment. I hate the fact that it relies on a player's server and at least half the time picks someone who has a crappy connection.

Some good moves there, though MS ran away with the game announcements. If Music Unlimited was worth a fcuk the CoD gamers would love it! I'd love to know what those BB deals are; I mean it's basically traffic-shaping that's usually done already, no matter what the buggers claim. They're pushing PSN now that you'll have to pay for it for online gaming  , and fcuk knows the Vita needs it and that price drop.

I was underwhelmed with the PS4 game announcements and IMO it featured indies more than anything else.

Yeah. So much prominence for indie games made it all feel a bit one note.

Virgin Media to be PS4's broadband partner, may offer gamer-specific deals http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/co ... ls-1174502Maybe this is how Sony gets around that CoD server thing  , or how slow PSN is... ... PS4 DualShock 4 blue and red flavors announced by Sony http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/co ... ny-1174504'That's nasssty.'

Both Xbox One and PS4 vendors reserve right to control RRPs, yet devs claim Sony is more flexible http://www.computerandvideogames.com/42 ... r-to-sony/Well that sucks balls - there's any number of indie titles I'd have risked the cash on if they'd been a bit cheaper. £8 for something that's likely overrated, pretentious crap, or £13 for a delivered disc that essentially had millions spent on it's production and that I can return if I want, hmmm...
