Looking for cheap FIFA 17 on PS4 or Xbox One? See the best deals for Black Friday weekend
The FIFA games from Electronic Arts are now firmly established as an essential purchase for any console-owning footie fan.
Millions have bought FIFA 17, the latest version, since its release at the end of September - but millions more will be hoping Santa delivers it for Christmas.
If you’ve been holding out for the best price, this weekend is the time to open your wallet or purse. Here are all the details you need.
When is best to buy FIFA 17, Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
We expect the price of FIFA to bottom-out on Black Friday, although the best deals may still be available on Cyber Monday.
Based on previous years, the price will shoot back up until the end of the football season in May – when details will start emerging on FIFA 18.
In other words, if you’re going to buy FIFA 17, this weekend is the time to do it.

What platforms is FIFA 17 available on?
The versions of FIFA 17 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are the most popular and the best rated. It’s available on disc or as a download for each console.
But the game is also available on last-generation consoles (PS3 and Xbox 360), as well as PC.
What’s the difference between the editions?
On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, there are Standard, Deluxe and Super Deluxe Editions.
The Deluxe Editon comes with 3000 FIFA Ultimate Team (or ‘FUT’) points to buy players, while the Super Deluxe Edition (only available as a digital download) includes a massive 8000 FUT points.
These points allow the gamer to buy big-name players with no effort – basically, a shortcut to building a great Ultimate Team.
As you'll see below, only the Standard Edition is heavily discounted on Black Friday weekend.
