scottymurkz Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I was just wondering whether anybody has purchased FM at a midnight shop opening. With steam doing FM11 for an inflated price of £39.99, I am considering this approach this year. Does anyone know which shops will offer this service? (Especially in East Anglia) When will i know that certain shops are offering the service? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
streety Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 i seem to recall here in Stafford anyway i saw a sign outside Game that they were opening midnight for the release of the new Halo game, first time Ive seen this around Stafford. As to knowing which shops would possibly open at this time i would guess you would have to go and ask the shops themselves really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt ex SEGA Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 We've done some midnight openings before - but I don't know of any plans to yet. I would suggest asking a bit nearer the time of release - we'll know better by then. Cheers Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abaddon879 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Last year Tesco were open and sold the game from many of their stores. If you have a large supermarket nearby that is open 24 hours and sells PC games then that would be a good bet. I'm not sure many stores will open at midnight for FM11 to be honest.

rick_chelsea Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Yes I remember a mate of mine had his from Tesco at midnight.(24 hour one) IIRC im sure some shops have FM on shelves for sale 1 or 2 days before official release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebritykiller Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Steam has already been reduced to £29.99 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james170288 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Supermarkets are a bit dodgy for midnight releases, I went for FM2008 to Tesco in Kingston Park, Newcastle (the worlds largest tesco) and when i asked about the game they looked at me like I was mental. I would get it off steam, but im weird and I like to have the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackemforever Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Tbh nowhere is going to open just for the release of FM11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballinisahabit Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 TBH as great a game as FM is its no GTA or COD, so i doubt many places will open at midnight to sell it. Just Pre-order and your sure to get a day before if not on the morning its released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spemat Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Coming from Australia, I don't like my chances of seeing a midnight release, so I'll just have to get it the day after. It would be a different atmosphere to the other midnight releases that I hear about . . . for games like WoW, I think of people emerging from their caves with scruffy beards to get their next fix for a year or two, but for Football Manager, for some strange reason, I think of well dressed individuals in suits and ties lined up orderly for their next strategic experience. Would be an interesting atmosphere . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Tesco. If you have a 24 hour store near you, go there. They probably wont have FM11 on the shelf at dead on midnight, but all you have to do is ask someone and they will kindly get one from out back. Me and my mate went there last year for our copies, didn't see it on the shelf and the guy said he had seen a load out back ready to put on the shelfs in the morning. He grabbed us a couple copies and it was all fun and games from there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Got mine from Asda the past few years at midnight. The Asda I have tried to get it from in the past to years haven't even had their delivery. So I won't be going Asda this year. I will be going to Game and I have it reserved .

Carmi88 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 The game is actually 29.99, not bad waiting a month to save a tenner And I'm never going to a midnight opening again, too much strain on the legs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
