It’s also worth noting that “FIFA 17” was on sale almost everywhere, including digitally on Xbox Live, and then on the PlayStation Network. After all, Black Friday sales usually last until Monday, too, so players are covered in case they need to buy it after the trial period is over.
The full “FIFA 17” game is a 42GB download. Video game critics have actually given “FIFA 17” a rating of 9.0, with 10 being the highest, but thus far, it seems that “PES 2017” has taken a slight advantage.
“FIFA 17” has been released by EA Canada late in September but Microsoft has been selling the game to its Xbox Live Gold members at a huge discount of between 25% to 35% early last month.
It should be noted however that the discount is only good for a week so Xbox Live members made hay while the sun shone.
In addition to “FIFA 17,” Microsoft also offered killer deals and great discounts on other sports games from EA Sports including “Madden NFL 17” and “NHL 17.”
Critics and gaming enthusiasts are one in saying that those were all good discounts because the games are mostly selling for the full price at retail and the fact that they are relatively new.
