Nottingham Forest Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Whilst you may hope that you get it Thursday, it doesn't matter if you do or don't as you can't play it until Steam unlocks everyones at 1 minute past midnight on Friday morning.

pR!M8 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Game UK - My order was dispatched today Makes no difference if we get it early or what version we get anyway as we still have to wait for Steam to 'unlock' it before we can actually play it. That will be 00:01 Friday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richief Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 be nice to get ur hands on it, so u can startin installin at midnught though. get an extra 9/10 hours of game play in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Everyone needs Steam do register/activate their game once. So unless SI decide to be nice and release it early which they probably won't, you'll be waiting until 1 minute past midnight to activate it. Even then if the Steam servers or whatever can't handle all the requests you may not be able to activate it straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pR!M8 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Indeed, its not like the old days when/if your game arrived earlier than the release date you could just install it and play it. I miss those days... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richief Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 most small shops around where i live for the past 4 or 5 years start sellin the game a day or 2 before the official release. dude in the shop told me once that all it takes is one crappy little shop anywhere to start sellin the game early,(usually a ditsy assistant not aware of the release dates) and then the word is past on, then its actually legal for everywhere else to sell it then. could be BS but i do know i have got the game early by at least a day or 2 since 06/07 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeChesters Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Still awaiting it to be sent out from Play, but I'm too fussed if I have to wait until Friday (from reading posts in this thread) and also I finish work at 1pm on Friday. A little FM before the pub then home and play a few more hours of FM a little tipsy!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robsy1990 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Few questions, sorry to be slightly off-topic. 1) How much is it on Steam? 2) Can I play it in offline mode if I download from Steam? I'm not one of these people who hate Steam, I just don't want to have to be connected to the web to be able to play FM (otherwise my morning train journeys will become very very long...) I only ask because I'm considering cancelling my Amazon pre-order, estimated arrival date is 24th! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

webbm1 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 How long do you think it will take to install/download from Steam? Football Manager 10 takes about 15 minutes to install but I don't think I downloaded it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiitastic Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 another pre-order thread ? try this one instead http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/271833-Football-Manager-2012-Buying-Pre-Ordering-Thread and on Steam it is $39.99 US.

dirtyprettymagpie Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Pre-ordered from ShopTo for £17.86 No idea why only I seem to have been given such a dramatic price drop but I'm not complaining! ShopTo deliveries always arrive the very next day so if they dispatch on Wednesday you'll definitely have it for Thursday and if they dispatch on Thursday you'll definitely have it on release day. 99.99% guaranteed! If it's a day late they give you back £3 (but it's never ever late). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy_Styles Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 how can it be much cheaper, its only £30 to start with? For me it is €49.95 on Steam, so ordering it for €25.65 from UK definitely is a no-brainer even if it means getting the game after the weekend.

BlackS0ull Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hello everyone, I would like to ask you about one web-site which is selling FM2012. Does anyone buy something from INTkeys? They are safe to buy from them, because they have a nice price for FM2012 , but I'm a little bit worried ...and I don't know if is OK to place the order £22.49 242 Units in Stock thanks in advance! I'm waiting your feedback Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Styles Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 BlackSoul http://www.365games.co.uk/ has it for the same price if you trust them more. I've ordered it from there, no previous experience though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
