I, personally, detest games in Dutch. I allways change my default language to English, even though I can speak fluent Dutch myself. I was in town the other day to buy a coppy of Fifa 08, only to find that the game was only available in Dutch. I wasn't too bothered at the time as I realy wanted to play the game, but I noticed that it only had Dutch commentry, which is just down right abysmal. I asked the accountant if he had an English version of the game. He said they did, but for only an astonishing price of 70 Euros, which is approximately 100 US Dollars! I decided not to pay the man and instead asked my mate to buy it for me in England, where its in English and at a much lower price of 30 pounds, around 60 dollars. I hate the way EA have made it so you don't get a multi-language option for some of it's games!

I'm from the Netherlands too. And I also change the language to English in my games when it's not the default. It's actually the main reason I refuse to play Viva Pinata. It's only available in Dutch. That's very very gay

I think they should just leave languages out. It's the main reason we get games here in Europe later then necessary. Just because they have to translate and whatnot. While everyone knows; everyone wants to play the game in English anyway, regardless of their origin. Well, except the German and French. But really, I would say jsut learn English. Otherwise, have them get the game late, not us.

that link to fifa on games site is only a mail order offer, in all the shops its £44.99 bar hmv where its £39.99 its even nearly £45 in game itself. they are one of the deerest shops for 360 games espieally 2nd hand, but EA SPORTS games are always around £45 new out in the uk. so the price you were quoted espieally for import version of a game was fair really compared to the uk RRP. was only about £5 more, which you would expect to pay more for a different langanue that aint going to sell as many copies. but i think the commenatary should be selected off the menu rather than a seperate version, just like ya can pic for text on most games.,

A couple of places here in England were charging £50 for the game when it was just released, It is rediculous, in America there generally much lower priced.
