    Hi,

    Does anyone know where FIFA 16 for ps4 is cheapest to pre-order either in shops or online? Had a look on ebay and cheapest I could find was €62 but coming from Austalia and Malta, so I'd prefer not to wait that long.

    Can't pre-order it on amazon uk either for some reason, won't deliver to Ireland?

    All the shops in Ireland are charging €75 pre-order and I think its the same on PS Store. And I would much rather an actual physical copy that I can sell on when finished with it.

    It says 25th September for Ireland release.

    More importantly, I'd like to know will the shops be opening at special times the night before to sell. Did they do this last year?

    Last year I was left disappointed as I went in the day it was released and they were gone everywhere and left waiting another month to get a copy.

    Try the gamecollection.net. £39.65 from them which is about €55. Delivery to your home is £2 or free delivery to your parcel motel. I used them for metal gear solid and it arrived in my parcel motel locker 3 days before release so I will forever be singing their praises :D

    Try rakuten.co.uk too.

    More or less the exact same MGS experience and will be ordering all my games from them in the future. €20 cheaper for FIFA than in a store, easy decision.

    If you are going to use Rakuten, avoid Basecom as one of their buyers.

    Purchased MSGV on the 27th and I am still waiting for it to arrive. :mad:

    Yeah but it's showing that they can't deliver it to Ireland, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Electronic-Arts-FIFA-16-PS4/dp/B00KHJLGNY/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1441925954&sr=1-2&keywords=fifa+16

    It's kind of weird because it's only with the Standard edition for the PS4, any other edition or if you choose any other platform it does ship to Ireland.

    You can also get it for €55 here: http://www.zavvi.com/games-ps4/fifa-16/11148420.html although I've used their free shipping before and it can easily take a week to arrive, so I wouldn't consider them unless you don't mind waiting!

    It's because the included DLC packs are in sterling so they won't work on EU accounts. That's why they won't ship it here. You can use Parcel Motel to get around this but the DLC will be useless.

    DLC packs worked fine for me previously from Amazon, what's different here?

    Because the DLC is sterling vouchers basically not euro.

    Basically if you want to order something online but the company only delivers to the UK, you can get sent to a warehouse address in Northern Ireland, then it is dispatched to a delivery center near you for collection.

    A few companies offer the service, Parcel Motel is the biggest / most popular.
