Following up from Sony Computer Entertainment’s Playstation 4 release date announcement at Gamescom 2013, Microsoft Australia have confirmed their plans on releasing the Xbox One. While being late to the party with a number of announcements and having to backtrack of plans in response to reception to the Playstation 4, Microsoft have decided to best the console in one aspect – its release date.

Microsoft Australia have today confirmed that the Xbox One will be releasing in Australian retailers from the 22nd November 2013 – a week before the Playstation 4’s release date. While some stores are now taking pre-orders for the first 2014 batch of consoles and may or may not be covered in this new announcement, Microsoft have confirmed that a new FIFA 14 bundle will be offered to all those who have pre-ordered an Xbox One Day One edition.

Today is an exciting day for Xbox in Australia with the confirmation of our launch date of November 22, so we’ll be one of the first countries in the world to launch Xbox One. Xbox is the best place to play games and we are delighted by the pre-orders of Xbox One. Australians love their sport and their sports games and our Xbox One FIFA 14 bundle in particular is our gift to those Xbox fans who pre-order early. Also, to make sure people who pre-ordered the Day One Edition Console don’t lose out, we’ll be making sure they all receive a copy of FIFA 14 too.

We’re thrilled to bring legendary footballers to FIFA 14 Ultimate Team on Xbox.  Only on Xbox will you be able to terrorise defences with a dream partnership of Messi with the legendary Pelé. 

While there is nothing much of interest if you aren’t into sport games, a free game is still a free game I suppose…
