@Tiller: Agreed. Plus, all the DLC is usually included, and at about the same price.

@whiskerbrisket: I was always Serbian this would end like that.

@Wrathernaut: Since one can't really link to individual tweets, this serves as a citation.

Also of note: if you're a PC fan (like myself), they've actually upgraded the engine to the PS3/Xbox 360 engine. You still don't get all the features, but it's apparently very close to FIFA '10 on the consoles. It's Direct Download only in the states, but probably worth checking out.
