Long Islander Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 If you order through Steam, is it just a download or can you order the boxed version from them? I really want the boxed version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICouldn\'tThinkOfANameNotT Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I was looking on dbgamez.com and it has an American store where you can pre order it for $35.74 but i don't know how much shipping or anything like that is? That looks like the bext option for anyone from the U.S. who wants a boxed version. It looks like shipping is quite cheap and delivery time is 6-8 days.

dr p wigwam Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 hmm, play.com nearly had me with the free mouse, but its clearly small and crappy, so i think i'll pass. currently its £27.99 at game.com, as a download, with the same free games as steam. has anyone downloaded from game before? just wondered if it works like steam. i was always very anti-steam, but i recently got Civ5 on there and its been great. so simple Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagarr Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Forgive my ignorance but everywhere I read people are slagging steam off, I'm giving them a go for the demo and (if succesfull) going to do it for the game as well, It just seems the easiest way to get the game on the 5th Nov, why has steam got such a bad name on here?

Scab Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 If I were to speculate, I think FM has a customer base of which a large portion doesn't do much gaming outside of FM, so for them Steam is something extra they need just for FM as opposed to a convenient platform for all their PC gaming. That's already a bad start. If they then run into any kind of problem with Steam, big or small, it's a problem they have just because of this unnecessary extra thing, which comes off as complicating things for no good reason, and there you go; Steam gets a bad name. A lot of people who are new to Steam obviously like it as well, but when things go wrong I think it's a compounded negative effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeXe Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I like Steam and have bought quite a few games off there. However, I have every CM/FM game since CM2 boxed, so I kind of want the physical box to add to the collection! If you could buy it on Steam, download on release day, and they'll send you the disk in the post later, I'd do that, haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latimerinho Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I would have seriously considered Steam this year, but I've since moved house and I'm on a crappy BT connection and it will take hours to download the game.

I just went to dbgamez.com and added FM11 to shopping cart and then chose the cheapest shipping, the total came out to only $33.12 (£21.08). That's the cheapest price I've seen by far.

They'll request the money from your bank soon as it comes in stock, no warnings you'll just get an email saying "Youre card has been charged awaiting dispatch etc" or "payment refused" or words to that effect.

Stickmenonfire Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I know there's already a preorder thread so i apologise in advance.

I've pre-ordered mine online, if it gets posted and arrives, say, 4th November, will I be able to play on the 4th? Or will I have to wait until 00:00 on 5th? Thanks.

JonnyCurrie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Bit hard pressed trying to decide which is the better option: 1) Pre-order from Steam - guarenteed download on the release. 2) Order the box itself from an online store and save a few quid - but maybe miss out a day or two. Meh, probably going to just go with Steam I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed_Leeds_ United_ Fan Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I think anyone pre-ordering the game is taking a major risk! what if yo dont get your game on release day or the postman doesnt arrive till like 4pm... it will just do your head in.. Id rather jst pay £10 more for less hastle n gettin it when ya want to Although I almost pre-ordered football manager 2010 from game last year as they offered a free football manager notepad with it!!

JonnyCurrie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hmm, a free notepad. Wouldn't be much use to me. I imagine it would just be scribbled full of profanities after a week and then disposed of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakobx Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I have preordered it from zavvi. Had to do it since my 10% discount runs out at the end of the month . Since im from Slovenia i dont expect it to arrive by release day, but so far everything i ordered from them has been sent before the release day so you might get lucky.

Dob1 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Last year it was £18 and free delivery, so I got it from there. Sadly it came about 3 days late for me.

GioGio85 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I ordered from Zavvi last year and it camea day early.

SirFuzzyDunlop Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Shopto.net are by far te best online retailer for games. Every single game I have had from there has arrived the day before release, and I have ordered quite a few over the years. I ordered a game today and it was dispatched within 45 minutes!

Lindhoffen Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I've looked around the sites and I think I'll be pre-ordering the game from ShopTo.net after all. They guarantee delivery on the 5th in more ways than one. They're also a few quid cheaper than most other retailers. Steam would be the second option but I want the physical box in my collection.
