Guest roberto922 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 £30 in the UK, where the vast bulk of the userbase is. Plus you get 21, albeit old, games with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik86 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Sorry SteveoRobbo, but I disagree with you here. For a start, Fireworks night is a British thing. It doesn't happen anywhere else in the world on that night, and this is a global release. It's also not our fault that that falls on a Friday this year, which is the day that games are released. Most people in the UK get paid monthly, at the end of the month, so whether it was the week before, or the week after, Fireworks day, makes no difference at all to whether people have money in their pockets or not. Most firework displays are over by 9 too, so lots of time to play the game in the evening. The release date, from a selfish personal perspective, is really annoying as I too was meant to be at a fireworks display that evening, and it's my birthday the day before, so I'm likely to now have to spend my birthday in 2 or 3 different countries doing PR, then rushing back to the UK for midnight openings, and will likely miss out on the fireworks as I'll be doing more interviews. But, the thing is, it's the right day for us to release the game with the quality that we want to have. So that's why it is then, and I've already accepted another year without being able to spend my birthday with my friends. From a selfish standpoint - couldn't be worse timing! My birthday on the 3rd and then my wedding on the 7th followed by honeymoon until the 20th November so I will have an agonising wait whilst on a white beach in Antigua to play the new game :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield Sunday Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Excellent advice. I'll probably end up doin that now. Maybe its just a dad thing but I kinda like doing it myself in the garden. Cant really explain it. You are still talking about fireworks right?

Poize Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 GT5, COD and FM all released at roughly the same time? I'm surprised FM is being released in that week, I would expect COD to be the hottest game of the year and people to be saving their money for that, being around £50 and all. Least FM comes first and you can get a good weekends play of it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted September 17, 2010 Author SI Staff Share Posted September 17, 2010 If I buy the game retail, will I then be able to play the game through steam? Yes. Will it be the same release date for the USA? (Steam, obviously, as I can't get it anywhere else). Not 100% sure yet. US release dates are normally Tuesday, rather than Friday's, but we're pushing for a Friday release there anyway... Could I have a proper answer now as to whether FM11 will be coming out for the ipad? We will only ever talk about things that we've announced. We have made no announcements about whether we are, or not, going to make another version of FMH for iPod. Don't buy from Steam, you will get ripped off at the price they are offering! Personally, I think their price (£29.99) is pretty damn reasonable, considering the average amount of time spent playing FM10 for those customers who are playing via Steam is well over 100 hours.

Ely-matty Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 i'll buy on steam only if there will be an activation like 2009, that the game will be lock until the release date. normally, i'll find fm in shops 1-2 days before the RD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is too much to hope for a November 2nd release for us 'Merican based FM'ers? Personally, I think their price (£29.99) is pretty damn reasonable, considering the average amount of time spent playing FM10 for those customers who are playing via Steam is well over 100 hours. Currently, $39.99 for me on Steam but that's with a bunch of 'bonus' games I would never want. Is that the Steam price for FM 2011 or will it come down after release minus the bonus games?

stevvy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Excellent stuff, glad to see there's a release date. Those blabbering on saying it should've been released sooner/later than November 5th are moaning for moanings sake obviously. The date that websites had was NOT an official release date confirmed by SI, so the whole leak garbage and moving it because of that, I don't buy that for a second. Also moaning about it being released on bonfire night. Get a grip. So what if it comes out on bonfire night? I wasn't aware that people spent all day and night at a bonfire. Not SI's fault that bonfire night happens to be a Friday, the same day that games get released in the UK. Get over yourselves. Boo hoo, parents will have to buy fireworks as well as the game in the same week, oh the tragedy. Honestly, ridiculous to moan because of that.

No chance of it being earlier in the US, no. We don't set retail prices, but I'd doubt very much it'd fall. The pre-order "bonuses" are just that - free gifts for pre-ordering.

Is that the Steam price for FM 2011 or will it come down after release minus the bonus games? Judging by previous year's Steam experience, I would say it'll come down to $29.99 around March/April 2011 and $15-20 range in July/Aug 2011. So good luck waiting for that. But you can expect surprise week-end or mid-week sale in Steam that can offer anywhere between 10-75% of discount. But that's not confirmed, just a guess. I got FM09 in Steam weekend sale in Jan'2010 and I bought FM2010 @ $29.99 at another SEGA sale, IIRC. So if you can wait, eventually price will come down.

TacticalGenius Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 GT5, the hottest release in PS3 history, 3 days before FM. Like hell FM takes priority. GT5 is 5(?) years in the making, FM11 isn't. All in all, GT5 takes priority, then FM11, then COD BlackOps. And here was me hoping FM would be a couple of weeks before GT5 Tbh, this must be one of the best winters for games - F1 2010, Fifa11, GT5, FM11, COD and LBP2 all within 10 weeks... Gonna be expensive :o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
