private pyle Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Well with fm11 approaching thought we should have a thread where we can find the best price for a pre order of the game. Last year the cheapest place was zavvi at £17.99 and although not everyone got there game on release at that price who care's really. So let's have a look around and see who will be cheapest this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTime Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Zavvi are the cheapest I have found so far at £24.95 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRich Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hm, thats just one big slap in the face of SI sparks The games are improving, stay on topic and find a good price rather than insulting SI. I will have a hunt for a good price! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTime Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 if it was £5 it would be over priced .. let,s face it ..fm2011 is just fm2010+patch .. but i guess the fan boys will still buy .they would buy fresh air if you was selling it fm2011 looks a plie off rubbish How is it? They have already announced 5 new big features and there's more to come so it's hardly just an extra patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo1985 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I think we have what is known as an attention seeker. That or a complete idiot but in my opinion probably both apply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRich Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 The only place that seem to be selling it at the moment are Game, Gamestation and Zavvi. Id wait for Amazon and Play to release their prices as they are normally quite competitive! Also, on Gamestation they are advertising the release date to be 29th October 2010! Maybe this will be an aid to fans that are annoyed with the "Before Christmas" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dob1 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 There was a "leak" if you can call it that on a Polish (I think it was) site that had the release date as the 29th of October. They've probably gone off that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTime Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Yes Zavvi are saying that I will recieve the order on the 29th of October but according to SCIAG it is only a guess as SI haven't told the gaming companies yet of the exact date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

private pyle Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Been looking around and there are no real bargains yet but we should all keep a look out and I am sure we will find a nice price for the game in the coming weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfan2 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'll be ordering from Amazon as I get free next day delivery. I recall I had it pre-ordered and on next day delivery one year from Amazon (wasn't last year, FM09 I think) and they managed to screw it up and not get it to me on the day everyone else got theirs (obviously that was a couple of days before the 'proper' release date - this does seem to be the one game that companies think they can send out early), nor on the 'proper day' of release nor for a couple of days after that. By that time I had ordered it again off Play.com, had that copy delivered, so when Amazon finally delivered their copy I returned it straight back to them and have never used them for a computer game since.

Ty Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 £25 is very competitive. I'd pay £35 for a game I love. Same, aslong as I get it on the release day.. I will happily pay £35.

What is £10 more for a game you are going to spend hours on end playing. I suppose you are right there, even if you paid full price for the game when you break it down how long you play the game against the cost then it is more than worth it.

SWaRFeGa Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I've already spent £450 on a new PC - so I don't really care about the price. £30 max will do nicely. Steam it on the day, whatever the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't really need to pre-order on Steam. Just buy it when it's released. It's not as if it needs to be delivered, or that they will run out of copies.

Guest Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I can't find any information regarding paypal on zavvi so that's a no go for me. Probably going to go with amazon, if I actually get the game, though I haven't decided on that yet. I never really got into FM10, but the dynamic league reputation in FM11 is tempting me a bit.

Never bought a hard copy game before from them so I can't advise on delivery times etc. I have bought a few cd keys (mostly for mmo games) and they have been very, very quick with the emailed details. customer service for the one timeI couldn't get the key working was also excellent and responded within 20 minutes of my email.

Aim_Less Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Can't you download most of the files if you pre-order?

Connor Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I pre-ordered FM 2011 yesterday off of Play, where they are also giving away a free mini USB Football Manager 2011 mouse, just wondered what experiences people had of ordering from Play before in the past.

ronaldo_1978 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Amazon are saying its released on 5th of november now, Most other sites are sticking to october tho, Don't see point in putting a guessed date up to be honest lol.

The only problem is that their delivery estimate is 9-11th November That's because they are offering it via a company called DBGamez, and I have no idea what their delivery policy is. They are also offering it for £27.91 direct from Amazon, but the advantage of that is you can pay for First Class postage and they say that it will guarantee delivery on the release date of Nov 5th. I'll still probably get it off play.com though, you don't have to pay for delivery and they've never done badly when i've used them before. Should get it by the 5th at least.

tlm_77 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Cant imagine why anyone would want to pre-order, a little investigation in your local area may provide you with a better alternative. I know a shop near me that every year sells games as soon as they get them in the shop, i.e. at least a day early. I'm a big COD fan and always get them early, FM will be there at their shop on the Wednesday as that's when they get their deliveries, as soon as it's in, they sell them. I paid £29.99 last year, I'm sure it'll be the same this year. Can't wait til the 3rd of November now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
