vasilli07 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 If we pre-order the game from our local game stores, will we get any of the pre-order free gifts? :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlo116 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 those gifts might be provided by the store and not by SI but i'm not sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abs_UK Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I think and i might be mistaken but 80% sure this offer is only availible in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 You'd need to ask the store really. I would imagine it is only Game, Play and HMV with the gifts though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Most of the companies' small print specify delivery within UK only. I'm getting my DVD + gift delivered to my mum in the UK so she can forward both onto me. Without a UK contact, whether you get the gift probably depends on where you live; within UK maybe - here in the deepest jungle no chance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a UK contact, whether you get the gift probably depends on where you live; within UK maybe - here in the deepest jungle no chance! Are you living without the game for a while then, or just getting her to ring you with your serial code, pop it into steam and get the game on day of release? If not already planned, do the latter :-p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 getting her to ring you with your serial code, pop it into steam and get the game on day of release? Can you explain that bit, r0x0r? I avoided Steam last year so I don't know how it works. If SI sort out last year's fiasco I might well buy it that way. Can you answer the questions I just asked in another thread: if I download FM10 via Steam (and it better bloody have the editors in a place easily accessed), what happens if my laptop is nicked or conks out? Can I get it put on another machine? Or can I fully copy the game onto my backup external hard drive to be reinstalled in case of disaster? Thanks in advance mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooper Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi, We offered all the merchandise to all countries, and each market's office decides on whether to take the pre-order incentives. Sometimes the numbers of people ordering from each particular retailer means that it's not possible to offer the gifts to retailers. In the UK it tends to work pretty well as there are a few very big retailers, however in Italy for example there are many small independents and the game isn't as big as it is in the UK, yet! Apologies to those that aren't being offered these in their countries, be sure to tell your retailer that you would have ordered with them if they had offered whichever gift you like and we can see what happens in coming years Thanks Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance mate I think what he means is there is an option within steam to activate a product on there and you may be able to download FM from there with your license key. On the other bit Ive replied in there If you purchase or activate through steam then you can download the game again on any pc on your steam account. This will of course depend on how many seats we get and/or there being a deactivation URL again. Wont know this until sega make the DRM announcment.

pyewackett Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 From memory local football clubs also sell the game sometimes at cheaper prices than retail game stores, food for thought. Should be some competition with online retailers such as play.com shopto.net and zavvi.co.uk though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I was going to go with either the journal or Steam, but you can't ignore a saving of over 10 quid with zavvi, even if it means no gift and an extra week for it to get to this distant corner of the globe.

shakeable Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Im getting a notepad with the game and i am not in the UK. Although i didn't order it directly though the retailer. FMSweden had an pre order deal with one of the big retailers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0x0r Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Can you explain that bit, r0x0r? I avoided Steam last year so I don't know how it works. If SI sort out last year's fiasco I might well buy it that way. However you buy it, in FM09 you can load up steam, enter the serial key and have one of your four activation seats taken by Steam. Download the game (legally, via steam) and play. I bought the disk version, but registered it to my steam account to get it onto my netbook, as my external DVD drive was playing up. However they do activation this year, a code to register it to your Steam Account however you bought it was a fantastic idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
