Best FIFA 13 pre order bonus

[ThePhillyPhanatic]

First of all, the Gamestop preorder, which is the one I got, gives you a code, via email I think, each week for 24 weeks to get a gold pack weekly. Not a one time code for 24 packs. Therefore, you cannot buy it, redeem the code, and return it. Also, I never, ever buy NEW games fron Gamestop. I always buy my new games from Amazon. I always buy from Amazon because of fast shipping, easier returns, and better preorder bonuses (sometimes a $15 promo code for future purchases at Amazon just like with Madden every year and NHL this year).

But this time around, I would have to say Gamestop had the best bonus.

yea it's making me really think about getting the ps3 version..i suppose i could just take the extra 20 dollars (pc is 40$) and put it towards FUT and it'd be about the same result of 24 gold packs.

No offense man, but you are wrong. When you pick up your pre-ordered copy from Gamestop there is a code on your receipt. Once you redeem that code you will get all the packs each week. It is just the one time code, not a code every week. So after you have redeemed the code from your receipt then you can just bring the game back and get a refund. Trust me, I did it last year.

Do you think you can pre-order it and use the code, then return the PS3 version and get the PC version? I feel like this could work since it is a webapp also and is universal to all 3 versions.

I'm really not sure since I have never used Ultimate Team on another console or pc besides my 360. All of your Ultimate Team is the same across all platforms? Like if I bought Fifa 12 for the PS3 today and loaded up UT on it all my same players from the 360 would be there?
If so then I would assume the answer to your question would be yes.

See my edited post. I spoke before really thinking about it.
