Pearce2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Why is the Steam release in Australia at 3am November 6th when it will be available on Friday the 5th in the shops and online? I'd prefer to purchase through steam but if I can get it earlier from the shops I will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiitastic Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I think they deliberately have different release times all over the world so people don't download the games at the same tie which in turn may affect their servers but 3am the next day is weird, I would have though friday 5th november around 1pm, which would be about 3am UK time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Furia Roja Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 id image its because most of the european countries will be downloading so its reserved for them, not saying that is definite but makes sense to me. Get it in the shops mate, means you get it before europe! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt ex SEGA Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Can't remember the exact time for Oz off the top of my head and can't check before tomorrow when I'm back in the office - but as a general rule, we've prioritised the biggest market for FM (the UK) and made the game available from around midnight here. We were looking into whether we could do a midnight launch by territory, I have no idea if that's proved to be possible or not. I will come back to you when back in the office.

chillzer Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hi Matt, could you do a check for Singapore as well? I have pre-ordered from Steam and the release date is stated as 6th Nov 12am Singapore time. Was actually looking forward to playing it on Friday seeing as it is a public holiday here.

glenn28 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I wont be getting it from steam this year as i have mobile broadband & will take forever to download thats odd because FM 2010 came out on steam last year on release day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
