Seb Spiers Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I pre-ordered from ASDA online for less than £25, but the useless 'tards haven't shipped my game yet so it looks like I won't be playing this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

feedthegoat Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 i'm hoping to pop down to asda after work tomorrow to get it but i can't remember if they sold pc games last time i looked instore or not! They don't sell many PC games, but I'd have thought they'll have FM09 though, it's a major seller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirky Diggler Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 i'm hoping to pop down to asda after work tomorrow to get it but i can't remember if they sold pc games last time i looked instore or not! The two local ASDAs to me sell games so I guess yours should, Ive pre ordered from the hut but had nothing from them yet or even any indication its on its way, so I may just go into asda and buy it tonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Spiers Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Do you think it'll be the same price in ASDA on the shelf as it is online? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankin17 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 ok cool, yeh i'm hoping they should have FM, i'll make my way round the main supermarkets in birmingham tonight until i get it! (on the subject of Asda, they're selling Call of Duty 5 for 27 quid instore by the way) - may get that aswell as FM obv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevchenko Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I only have a TESCO 24 near me. I'm not waiting until 9am, and i'm not paying the extra money for the same game. So, i'm in a mess? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankin17 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 its on asda website for £24.91 i think it was, could always ring the store, quote the website and ask them to reserve you a copy at that price? could be worth a pop... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrexham Afc Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Asda is probably the best place to buy new games. They always knock £10-15 off the usual £39.99 price. Fair doo's to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I phoned my local ASDA (Barnsley) the woman told me they no longer sell PC games. I then phoned the Wakefield ASDA who said they do not sell PC games anymore but they have recieved football manager on the PC (i never said what game it was) so i presume all ASDA stores will sell the game but the staff probably dont know about it if you phone up.

The woman i spoke to on the phone at TESCO was fairly incompetent. I'm not sure 50 year old women working in a supermarket are that knowledgeable on FM release dates, so I think i'll saunter down there and hope she was wrong earlier. Nothing like blind arrogance.

rich10 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 i've pre-ordered it from thehut.com for £17.43 or something equally silly due to an extra 50p discount (hey...its a recession people). might be worth a check to see if the price has remained.
