Robbie S Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Sorry that you were inconvenienced, if the store were one of the ones listed then they should certainly have had the game available from midnight.

init-tm Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Don't worry, I've been to: ASDA: Told it's not out until next week. That made me laugh. So me, my mate and about 8 other people just came here for jokes then? Tesco: Doesn't sell PC games. Great, that's perfect. Sainburys: Closed Morrisons: Closed 1 hour of looking around and I don't have a copy, . Oh well. Bit annoyed right now, not that I don't have FM, but that non of the "big 4" supermarket chains were able to provide me with one of the biggest game releases this year.

xBunn3y-B0yx Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 For fk sake!!!! I rang up my local ASDA earlier on today to ask if theyd have FM2010 avaiable to buy at midnight....I turn up 10 mins early....turns out they DONT SELL PC GAMES!!!!......A 45 minute trip on my bike in the middle of the night only to find out i got told an out right lie!!!! I actually tried to track down the ***** who i spoke to on the phone.....turns out he finished his shift :/ grrr gonna have to do another trip in the morning then :/ Anybody know a superstore who still sell pc games?

wllm Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 "ASDA: Told it's not out until next week. That made me laugh. So me, my mate and about 8 other people just came here for jokes then?" ASDA do have football manager 2010, however individual stores have discretion as to what they can put out on their shelves (unless a specific contract deal was made between ASDA and SEGA that states all stores or most must stock it) so some may not shelf football manager if it doesnt sell well (unlikely lol). however whoever told you it wasnt out til next week obviously was: 1) a new start who was in doubt 2) a lazy staff member 3) someone hiding the last copy of footie manager for themselves 4) or simply someone who has their date completely wrong lol (he's probably still waiting on fm2009 lol) anyway, my advice is to go back and see another member of staff from home and leisure hope you get your copy!

nev147 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Went to Tesco at 11:30 at a massive store and it was practically empty. The electronic departmant was upstairs. I asked the guy at the department and he said I had to wait half an hour, so I spent half an hour just browsing a few isles and he had to wait untill 00:00! I guess it was tesco policy not to give them out before midnight but surely a bit of common sense and discretion should have prevailed and they could have given it a bit early! For all the people who tried but could not get it, tomorrow will come. If it makes you feel any better by the time ive installed it, downloaded the patch, and de-fraged the game via game booster I won't be starting my game untill tomorrow!

MarkyMark Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hey, I don't want to belittle your frustrations with not being able to buy FM2010 at midnight at your local supermarket, I just find it funny that there are some countries (including mine) where the game isn't even sold in stores, even video and computer game specialty stores.

There was a guy behind the counter staring at the game about to say sorry not till tomorrow, I quickly handed the money over and grabbed the game.

Funnily enough went down there this morning to get my copy (dunno why as my games PC isn't working and needs repairing!), and the shop was in the middle of being evacuated Me thinks it could be angry FM fans! I know last year when FM09 came out it took that particular store ages to even stock the game. They very rarely have any new releases out on a Friday, I have complained countless number of times to the numpty who runs the show down there but it seems that nobody listens. I did actually work in that particular Tesco store in the entertainments section, I only lasted less than a week because the woman who was working on there was a misery, remember it was when a major cd release came out I said to her "Better make sure we get this out today as people are going to want it." she replied "No not yet as if we put it out now, we'll have to keep stocking it up, let the night shift do it, and if anybody asks if it's out yet say we've not recieved it yet." I ended up having a barney with her because her attitude was abysmal, but then that is the attitude of most of the people who work in that particular store.
