    I heard people are paying real money for FIFA16 players, up to £50 for the best ones I hear tell.

    PES is better. FIFA is for ****s and 13 year olds. Real men play PES.

    "
    There’s only one problem, which is if you want to play it, you have to pay: 15,000 in-game coins, which are earned by playing games in regular Ultimate Team, or 300 FIFA points (around £2.50) for a ‘draft token’.

    This, supposedly, is compensated for by the increased weighting of world-class players in Draft -- so you’ll get to play with Messi, Ronaldo, or Robben, sometimes on the same team. In regular Ultimate Team, such players have in the past cost hundreds of thousands to millions of coins; so, unless you have limitless time, or money, to spare, chances are you’ll never afford them."

    Microsoft are ****s too. I got hammered once and rang them and they put a thing on which meant I got an email when anything was bought on the account.

    Got about 2 emails then the wee ****er went on a spree of hundreds of pounds over a few days and they ****s never sent me one email.

    Rang them and they said it was a courtesy and that there was nothing they could do.

    It's a con job.

    It's really bordering on theft. The companies know full well that the vast majority buying these things are kids who probably have no way of paying for it and have limited, if any, financial sense. Lets' be honest, how many parents would say "yeah go on son - you go right ahead and spend £500 on a new team for your computer football game"?

    I used to work with a bloke who played a Star Wars role-playing game online. He "levelled-up" his character to the extent that he managed to sell it on eBay for £500.
    Five. Hundred. Pounds.

    One of my friends was telling me you could get an hour with three top class escorts in London for that money.

    I would pay £20 for someone to put a patch on PES 16 for all the correct strips , I have spent ages trying to do it but I haven't managed it.
    I took my old XBox to Blockbusters about 10 years ago and some nerd did it for a tenner the dweebs in CEX and GAME won't do it.
