Powermonger Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I wish to pre-order a physical copy of FM22 from the UK to here in Australia as nobody seems to be offering FM22 pre-orders here. Is FM22 region locked to the UK again or do I have to wait to be ripped off by local retailers to get a physical box copy for my shelf? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 FM will be available in Australia so it will have its own region activation code. If you specifically want to buy from the UK ( and I think the physical copy is just a box with a code) then you may need to be creative to activate it in Australia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR866Gunner Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 It pains me to say it but after 20 years of accumulating the boxed copies I’ve now resorted to digital purchases. I miss the days I’d cycle/drive out to local shops to pick up the game on release day. one bonus is that digital can be cheaper though 👍🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realizing now that I'm marking a 10 year anniversary of digital versions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still missing some from the CM days (mainly pre 01/02) might have to hit up eBay. 11 hours ago, Yuko said: FM12 is my last physical copy. First was CM96-97 iirc.

The reason was that there was no physical copy available in my country at the time, had to wait till the turn of the year and I couldn't wait, so I just got the Steam version. I actually disliked Steam and I think one of the previous versions sort of forced you to play via Steam (or I just hadn't ticked the right boxes) so I felt trapped into thinking that I can only play it via Steam, so I eventually converted to heathenry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can understand, I have to do the same and wait for the physical copy becomes available here in Oz but have to pay premium price. This year I want to try and get it earlier by pre-ordering. Nobody from SI staff have been able to answer yet so I have submitted a Support tick with SEGA and hoping I will get a answer back soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powermonger Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 No boxed copies on FM22 available here in Australia yet only ones I can find are from the UK which are all region locked. Looks like I have a long wait for FM22. Would've thought they'd be made available locally on release day but still nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
