r0x0r Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Me too, plus mine's got to be redirected from UK to Cambodia; all-in-all I'll probably start a fortnight later than the rest. For FM09 this worked out very nicely since all the rage over the bugs had subsided with the release of a patch by the time I got the game. Sometimes waiting a bit is beneficial. Anyway, on my last FM09 save I'm poised to pile up Hall of Fame points - I'm even endeavouring to manage England to World Cup triumph. I want to finish high up the HoF table for the first itme in my CM/FM career! Is it a relative in the UK who's forwarding it? If so, get them to email you the STEAM code from the box when they receive it. That way you can use steam to play until it arrives, then either get rid of steam and use disk in drive, or just stick with steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmurfDude Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 People are more likely to write those reviews when they have something bad to say. For every dissatisfied customer there is probably a few thousand happy ones.

Guest markyosullivan Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think I'm going to pre-order with Zavvi. I saw this yesterday. I've never pre-ordered with Zavvi and that's why I'm kind of put off pre-ordering with them. :\ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispypaul Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 You are probably right.But has anyone from here actually ever ordered from them? Not from the new Zavvi, but they're owned by The Hut Group, from which I suspect everyone has bought DVD/Games etc at some stage, as they also do "white label" sales where the transaction is carried out by The Hut Group under the name of another company: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hut_Group I've never had any problems with their services. In fact I suspect the only likely problem in receiving the game will be from those fine fellows at Royal Mail.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flogside Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Pre-ordered about 10 days ago now if i remember correctly. Was about to spend 30 of my precious english pounds on it too! The only annoyance i have is that i recently went onto the Arsenal website (being a gooner) and spotted the Arsenal Edition will be out this year again kind of wanted that but at £30 at least ive still got a bargain through Zavvi!

schuey100 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 And you know this how? Lots and lots and lots of experience. And then some. Are you expecting a finished product out of the box on release day? I guess you won't bother with the inevitable final patch in March to fix the issues of the patch that fixed the issues of the patch that fixed the issues of the release version of the game? I'd rather wait for the final patch, forgo the agony and stress of things not working and get the game for £5 in March.

Trigger_18uk Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 £17.95???? Sounds blasted expensive if you ask me! I got FM09 for less than £10 last year. Or was it this year? Yup, this year. I bought it once the final patch was out and the game was playable. Why anyone would spend money on a game unlikely to work properly until March 2010 is a bit strange to me but anyway. While that might have been the case with past games in years gone by. Trust me on this one, I don't think it will be the case with this version of the game. It feels incredibly solid and polished!

You'll pay 30 pounds on Steam rather than wait a little while. No wonder these companies charge this kind of fee. The fact Zavvi can sell if for 18 shows how much these other companies are robbing the public. Infact I notice in the Digital Download thread that has been opened one company is charging 39.99.

Robbing so and so's Yup. I will, 'cos it's worth it, I can afford it, and 'cos Dingus got the same answer I got from Zavvi. I queried this with Zaavi asking if the game would be posted a day or two early to allow for delays, and got this reply:-"I'm sorry but we wont be getting the stock in until a few days prior to the release date and in this instance the estimated date of dispatch is also the 30/10/09. Postal strikes actually began on Friday 09/10/09 and this may cause delays in delivery Delivery is usually 3-5 working days but we do ask that you allow a total of 10 working days before contacting us to advise if this hasn't been received. I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused." make of that what you will! I'll pop £50 down now that says there's a thread with up to a hundred people moaning when it takes until Nov 5th for FM to arrive. It'll be the one just below the 'OMFG there's an injury bug' thread that'll be thrown up when Owen breaks another toenail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
