PaUlHuNtInGtOnLuFcBoY Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hello everyone . Whether I'm allowed or not, I'm sorry if its not, but I don't see why it shouldn't be? Anyway. Just ordered Footy Manager last night off of Zavvi for the increased £23 but I'm still happy. I haven't played the demo or really seen much about the new one, so I was just wondering guys. Is it a good buy? Whats new and whats amazing? I've loved them all so far since 2007 depsite all the moaning on here, but thats me . Thanks in advance.

I am so glad someone here introduced me to that site because I had never heard of it but some of the prices on games and movies is awesome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaUlHuNtInGtOnLuFcBoY Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 That is quite true theres loads of good deals. And dare I say it I ordered Fifa during the postal strikes and it came within about 3 days. Not too bad I suppose. Any ideas about how good it is though? Lol.

moneyhero Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 cancel your order and cough up the extra £7 i really cant see anyone c4ross the picket line just because a computer game is due for release that said can you imagine the stick some posties must be getting from their friends/kids Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIFA came out during local strikes, so it was very dependant on the area you live in as to how it affected delivery. This is a national strike which will affect all of us. Anyway, there is plenty of views and discussion about this in a big long thread already FWIW, i'd cancel and use shopto.net. £25 and they are using private couriers, bypassing Royal Mail completely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonky Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 How long does it take to download a full game ? I have only ever downloaded and installed demo's It obviously depends on your connection and the size of the game, but it shouldn't take more than a few hours, I think. I can't really remember how long it took me to download FM09, but it was not very long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really remember how long it took me to download FM09, but it was not very long. Its worth noting that most of the game is also pre-downloaded before release day. On the run up to midnight, the last bit (usually a .exe file) is downloaded and switched on for midnight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cynet Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Shops will be the thing of the past soon, just like the royal mail as well a thing of the past Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 If they've not already got the game in stock then I think shops will just as much problems as online places will because I believe its distrubution offices that are going on strike next week. To the original poster I would suggest that he reads some of the blogs or even downloads the demo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have pre-ordered from Zavvi but would def change if this is true. Not doubting you, but I just looked on shopto's site and couldn't find anything. Thanks.
