Thanks for posting that Q&A. Although I'm impressed that they've decided to release this as DLC to an existing game for a lesser price, I don't think new stadiums, roster updates and languages - and being separate from the rest of FIFA - are enough to get me to buy, but maybe the trial will change my mind (another nice touch)

Is this available for pre order? I want it for PC

The interview has cemented it for me, no go. I'll patiently wait for FIFA 13

Isn't 1800MS = $22.50? If so, that means it is more expensive on the 360.

Looking forward to this, especially seeing as England will actually be in this year.
