I'm sure they'll stay in the warehouse until much nearer the time, it makes no sense to send them out in dribs and drabs while they're still producing them.

Risk management means spreading the physical risk quick sharp. These boxes will be around the world within weeks.

erm, ok........how can you sell out of a download?

I'm confused

Forza 5 bundle offers a coupon to download it? so what's there to sell out of? little bits of paper with a number on? perhaps they ran out of printer ink

Every copy they give for free is one they're losing a potential sale on. They're not going to make it unlimited.

Weird, I know a lot of casual gamers who are getting at launch

Maybe so, however the majority of console sales happen later down the line ehen the price drops and more casual gamers pick up the console. It always happens like this with every console

I'm annoyed that I can't change my console pre-order from the FIFA bundle to Forza without re-ordering!

Edit: At Amazon

MOOGLEYS · 4 Sep 2013 at 20:48

I hope I can change my shopto order from FIFA to forza have no interest in FIFA at all.

antijoke · 4 Sep 2013 at 20:50

Looks like all bundles have gone.

Looking unlikely, I want to do the same but all they have for sale now is bundles. You can't get just the console (+ free game).

Will call them tomorrow and if not just cancel it and wait. I'm hating all the hassle with this so far tbh. Give Fifa then Forza but tough if you pre-ordered early.

Will see what they say.

antijoke · 4 Sep 2013 at 21:00

Just ordered one too. I'm going to have to have a check of how many I have pre-ordered now as I think I'm at 3 xbox's and 2 PS4's now...

Trusted you a link.

Why not just provide a code in the box which unlocks the game of your choice.

melchy · 4 Sep 2013 at 21:02

Just ordered one from Amazon as well. Will cancel the Shopto one as frankly its rubbish they are not letting you swap.

That would be sensible but this is Microsoft. Tbh I bet there will be a universal code and we will find out that when they arrive.

Amazon don't let you either, which is a bit pants for me.

If you cancel your existing Fifa version you should still be able to pick up the Forza from Amazon for release day.
