I seem to recall the old Euro or World Cup games being either $49 or $39. Remember that a retail PS2 game was $50, not $60, so $39.99 would've been the discounted price. I LOVE FIFA 10. I could go spend $59.99 on this thing and be reasonably assured to enjoy playing it. But in watching the reviews, I really can't see any significant improvement over FIFA 10 in gameplay. Looks like they changed the penalty kicks a little bit and cleaned up the graphics. Anything else? How do I justify spending $60 on this when FIFA 11 will be out, what, like in late September? Also, this game is likely to drop to $29 or $39 retail after the WC is over. The price is just too high for something that doesn't really seem to add much new. I can "afford" it, but on principle, I don't think I should. Particularly when that same $60 could go towards any number of other games out there that offer a new gaming experience. On Winning Eleven 8/9...they are great games, I still throw them in my PS2 from time to time and have fun with them. But I can't say with a straight face that they are "better" than FIFA 10. The FIFA gameplay made huge strides (and basically copied everything good about PES/WE) to the point where there's really no basis for saying that. Plus, FIFA has some gameplay elements (particularly First Touch) that PES never had.

Strongly disagree. FIFA 10 wishes it had the AI that WE9 had.
