akagi Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I have received a promotional code and customized my sleeve, filled all forms and hit "complete order" button. And then... I saw some lenghty error message about database "actively refusing connection", so I repeated whole process but this time website told me that my code has been used and so I can't order. Now, anyone from SI please tell me if my order (1st) has been received or no as I can't confirm it and I don't want to wait until I get my sleeve (and lose a deadline).

stevie_G_32201 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 would be better off contacting play.com instead as the sleeve comes from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 The custom sleeve was a promotion from play.com last year so I think you'll have to contact them and not SI assuming of course that its them again doing it this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooper Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 yep, it's not an SI issue, it's a Play.com issue. The order of the game will have been recieved for the code to be sent, but Play.com will have to tell you whether the sleeve order has been processed I'm afraid...

The order of the game will have been recieved for the code to be sent, but Play.com will have to tell you whether the sleeve order has been processed I'm afraid... Play.com said we had to contact the website owners as it is their server that has crashed. The URL was footballmanager.com/promo so who is responsible as the code can now not be entered? Play.com only got sent one code per person for the sleeve personalisation which is why they said we had to contact you. There were no help links on any of the sleeve design pages..

InsaneLampshade Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 ...another day, and still no-one has answered us. Play.com telling us to speak to you guys, you guys telling us it's not your problem. Well it's someone's problem and to be honest it looks more like a Sega/SI problem rather than a play.com problem, considering it's on the FOOTBALLMANAGER.COM website and all. promo-uk.footballmanager.com Or would you guys prefer that we simply get a refund and go pirate the game instead?

jayahr Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Same problem here. So far I just hope that my order went through if the code is said to be used already.

Mindcrime Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Glad I wasn't the only one. Same story for me as the OP. I kept wondering if it might be because I'm from Norway and used Å and Ø when writing down my address. So I felt a bit stupid when I dropped those for AA and O instead, and then got told my password had already been used. So as someone mentioned, it COULD be registered then and happen to drop in the mail in 1-28 Days. And I know, it's just a cover, it ain't no biggie, but it's a fun thing and it was the special thing about the play.com pre-order. The thing that got me worrying was when I didn't receive a confirmation email. Thank you bcooper for checking it out for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes you to the main page that’s on about downloading the patch lol Let’s face it - No one’s going to get the personalized sleeve because it too much for them to sort out. Hence no reply from anyone because they are hoping the problem goes away. It’s now day 5...
