Xbox One to Have CoD: Ghosts and FIFA Bundles in Europe

Microsoft has announced a pair of new Xbox One bundles.

Microsoft long ago told us what we could expect when purchasing the Xbox One. The company even did an unboxing of the Day One Edition just recently. However, it looks like gamers in Europe will also be getting a copy of FIFA 14. At Gamescom earlier this week, Microsoft announced that all pre-order Xbox One consoles in European launch countries will include a digital version of a blockbuster game. The first game will be FIFA 14, which will ship with all pre-orders to date and pre-orders from today "while stocks last."

If FIFA 14 isn't your bag, Microsoft is also teaming up with Activision and Infinity Ward for an exclusive Call of Duty: Ghosts bundle. This will be available when the game is released in November and will include special bonus content exclusive to the Xbox One.

Microsoft gave us our first glimpse of the Xbox One back in May, and showed off the device in more detail at E3. However, we won't actually see the console in stores until November. The company has yet to offer a precise release date but plans for the next generation of Xbox to hit shops in November.

    Without knowing what they said exactly, it's hard to know what this actually means. Is the game bundled for free or will people only get access to free bonus content on this platform if they buy the game first ?

    Even with FIFA or COD still more expensive than the PS4

    MSFT has yet to show why the Kinect is worth the $100 price difference

    You show me a camera that can determine your heart rate just based off the flow of blood beneath your skin for less than $100 and then we will talk.

    Yeah because games are always free in a bundle. It basically means that they'll bundle a game with it costing more.

    Also for the guy below if the kinect is worth the xtra 100. You basically have to do the same sht for PS4 if you want the camera, you'd have to spend more. Finally, I dont see the problem with the xbox one other than the 500 USD pricetag. I had a PSP and wanted a PS3 but what I've learned from the dreadful Sega-era is to wait a while when a console comes out and watch how its successful or fails. 600USD for PS3 when it came out and it technically wasn't worth it as many were on the 360.
