When do you buy Football Manager?

When do you buy the game?

i always wait until the final patch is released before i think about buying it...saves me the frustration of all the new bugs/

I buy it on teh day its released. i usually buy it early as well.

Never before the final patch is released.

And sometimes not even then.

I'll be buying on day of release probably from my local 24hour Tesco. I would have pre-ordered from somewhere like zavvi but the last time I did that was with fm09 and I didn't get the game for several days after release.

Pre-odering the game is cack because its game that lots of people want. Im suprised most people dont buy it from a shop on release day.

Never. My brother buys it for me, he just doesn';t know

ASAP from play

Always release day. I don't think I could hold off for 3-4 months just for the sake of a few bugs. Perhaps if I wasn't a member on these forums it might be a bit different.

soon as it comes avalible on steam

day of release

This is exactly what I do.

On release day, as early as possible!

Release day (obviously)

I bought 08 and 09 within days of release. I nearly didn't buy 10 after being so disappointed with 09, but bought it on impulse back in March, and I'm glad I did.

I'm undecided as to whether I'll buy 11 yet, but if I do it'll be a while before as I do as I'm enjoying my current save so much.

I buy it and download it as soon as humanly possible at Steam. Cant wait!

Same as trekman - midnight at tesco - as long as they are doing it this year!!!

I'll probably make my way up to Sainsburys on release day.

Unfortunately as a child of 14 my dad thinks that it is some sort of tradition to buy it for christmas & not before other wise it will be ruined! Still I might buy it around november if I have the money saved up.

It depends on the year. I normally try out the demo and make my decision from there. I got FM10 on the day it came out, but I left buying FM09 until January as I wasn't impressed with the demo that year and I had been disappointed with FM08 compared to FM07. It was only the fact the demo for FM10 was much better then FM09 that I jumped right in, otherwise I would of waited and got it cheap later on.

release day from the store in the center x) a nice 30 minute walk too so i can happily plot what to do and who to buy before i even have it installed x)
