    This deal is back again for the new FIFA. Have used this for the past few years, always works out wayyyy cheaper than buying the game on it's own anywhere else. Granted it may not arrive on release day but it's worth it for the savings.

    Works out at €43.44 for the game and 2 pairs of Ben Sherman boxers.

    Do they send the boxers and the games at the same time or they send them separately?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,398 ✭✭✭baldshin


    Usually the boxers come after a week or so, and the game arrives a day or two after release date. Although last year I think mine arrived on release date.

    Nice one, OP!!:D

    Got this deal the last two years...first year was Levi's boxers which were grand. But the Ben Sherman ones last year are the most uncomfortable boxers in the world!

    Thanks for this OP. Did anyone try the £20 cashback offer that comes up after checkout?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 102 ✭✭JaManSnowFlake


    Nice one, thanks very much. I was wondering how long I would have to wait until I went up to Smyths and buy it second hand. This is much handier.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,177 ✭✭✭Lord Spence


    brilliant deal,it was looking at being at least 60 to 65 euro in the my local xtra vision for the game alone, cheers OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 641 ✭✭✭johnf26


    nice spot op i just got an email myself from zavvi with the same offer was about to post it no need to now :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 205 ✭✭Superfin

    Got the email from the hut this evening. Order confirmed. Very happy with that price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭ozypozy


    Coming up at €71.94 for me too, any ideas anyone? Don't want to proceed any further in case I get charged full whack for boxers the hubby doesn't even want!

    Choose boxers with the FIFA 14 promotion on it, add to basket, and then add the game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,234 ✭✭✭Amouar


    Thehut has probably one of the worst customer service: there is no phone number in order to call them as i had a small mistake in the delivery address, and had to cancel straight after ordering in order to amend the address. They cancelled fifa 14 but didn't cancel the boxers even though i cancelled the whole order a few minutes after ordering. Sent them several emails with no reply and now i get an automated email telling me that the boxers are dispatched while fifa 14 is cancelled...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,234 ✭✭✭Amouar


    They also seem to have terrible reviews online such as http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews106137.html


  • Site Banned Posts: 880 ✭✭✭whiteshorts


    Be careful.
    I just ordered and got charged £57.97 (buying in Sterling is cheaper going through cc).
    Couldn't figure out why until I checked and not all of the boxers are included in the offer!
    I cancelled the order immediately and purchased a different pair and they were £34.98 which is the correct price.

    I guess you were lucky since you managed to cancel all your order. maybe because both items were not tight together as with the 34.98£ offer, in which case they'll only cancel fifa and keep the boxers!
    I'm still waiting for a reply from their " customer service ".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,260 ✭✭✭harpstilidie


    Ordered! Thanks OP!


  • Site Banned Posts: 880 ✭✭✭whiteshorts


    I had a problem with them last year (got it sorted) and I got this number in an email from them, not sure if it's still the same number or not.
    0844 243 9090
    It's UK so I guess it's 00448442439090.

    Got email back within 8 minutes, all cancelled and reordered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 76 ✭✭christyden


    Did anyone notice this in their email. Surely once you have paid you have paid, can't charge you extra to get Fifa out to you before the boxers?
     
    To make sure you get your items as soon as possible, we post and charge separately for each item. Please note, for Credit Card and PayPal orders, that payment is not taken until point of dispatch.
     


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭jamescd


    I'm guessing this is just the standard copy, not the Ultimate Edition ? I was gonna get the Ultimate Edition since I play UT quite a bit......hmmm, decisions, decisions


  • Site Banned Posts: 880 ✭✭✭whiteshorts


    Yep Standard edition.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭TriStar6


    What's the difference between standard and Ultimate Edition? Don't want the young fella moaning I got the wrong one......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,515 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    ordered yesterday , boxers dispatched this morning. not much of a fifa player for the last number of years , but i will give it another crack. good price for the two items, even if i trade in the game at a later stage.

    i am also interested in what is the difference between the two editions


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,217 ✭✭✭bren2001


    Ultimate edition includes 24 Gold Packs (1 per week for 24 weeks).
    Standard edition you get 4 FUT Gold Packs.

    That is the only difference. It is just extra packs and it seems to be 20 pound more expensive for Ultimate. You are still getting a great deal here, I will be ordering when the paycheck comes in in two weeks. Thanks OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,234 ✭✭✭Amouar


    Tried to email care@thehut.com to explain my situation ( email found in their site ), and got the following error "The error that the other server returned was:
    550 5.1.1 <care@thehut.com>... User unknown" .

    Basically the address doesn't exist any more.

    The customer service appear to be a joke, and if you happen to have any problems with your order, don't expect the same customer service as other sites like amazon etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,100 ✭✭✭whitelightrider


    Ordered - 35.48 was the cost for my order anyway.
    Not sure about the 20 cashback popup though

    Ordered, Cheers OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 134 ✭✭BenAndJerry


    Ordered - thanks OP. Got the same deal last year - great offer.

    Will there be a version of Fifa 14 specifically for the PS4 when it's released? Will PS3 games work on the PS4?

    Cheers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,831 ✭✭✭Dr.Winston O'Boogie


    Anyone that uses fatcheese gets 6% cashback too. Great spot OP.

    Yup, amazon are already taking pre-orders.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Electronic-Arts-FIFA-14-PS4/dp/B00BT9DTCC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1376566064&sr=8-5&keywords=fifa+14

    And no, the PS4 is not backwards compatible so PS3 games will not work.

    Did anyone receive the boxers yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Dazzy


    Not yet, but I did get a dispatch notice last Friday.


  • Site Banned Posts: 880 ✭✭✭whiteshorts


    Waiting for the jocks today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭jamescd


    Mine was supposedly despatched last Friday but still no sign of it. Tracking says "on route to the receiver" since Tuesday.

    I know I'll get it eventually, but I certainly hope it doesn't take this long when they send out the game.

    Here is the tracking history for mine

    Fri 16/08/2013 09:36: Your order has been processed at the UK export facility. It is now on route to the receiver.
    Mon 19/08/2013 11:00: Your order has arrived at the interim distribution point for onward relay to the destination country. We expect delivery within a few days but no further tracking information is available.

    Yet not sign of it . I hope that the game won't take that long.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,234 ✭✭✭Amouar


    No signs of it today neither ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,234 ✭✭✭Amouar


    Just received the boxers!
