KillYourIdols Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 23 minutes ago, kevhamster said: I'm wondering if Sega got hassle from other retailers due to Shopto always undercutting everyone and this is how they've responded to that? Maybe, its a good thought, but surely a price cap would make more sense to most? Mind you, It is SEGA... Or even just pull it from ShopTo altogether. Sales will, I assume, Massivly tank for them. No Benefit to using them now Whatsoever over other retailers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will still do fine from people who aren't bothered about taking part in the beta, as they are still the cheapest place to buy FM23. But for anyone who wants to play the beta, then shopto are no longer an option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrdavidson95 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Cheapest I’ve seen so far is Fanatical with a creator’s affiliate code. £32.05, access to beta and code straight in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've went through the whole SEGA Approved Partner list and Gamesplanet is only some 20 pence more expensive than ShopTo after shipping and you do get Beta access. Btw, I hope ShopTo's website and their "queueing" die a painful death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually contacted them and got a full refund within a couple of minutes. Have now bought from Fanatical, which was a few euros more expensive but does have beta access and allowed me to support my favourite content creator. However, if you're from EU and just want the game as cheap as possible, check out here: https://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/buy-football-manager-2023-cd-key-compare-prices/ Do be aware though that you're likely not getting beta access and may have to wait a day or so to get your key.

kevhamster Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 35 minutes ago, Jamie Cortez said: Is the cheapest place not gamepass now? Depends on your point of view. It's £7.99 per month for the basic version of Game Pass for PC games. If you're doing this purely for FM, then over the course of the year this would be more expensive than just buying it. If you're using it for other games too, then it could be argued it's better value overall, however:- The thing with Game Pass is, you only have access to the game for the duration of time that it's on the Game Pass service, and there's no guarantee how long that would be. Also, I don't think the editors are available for anyone who likes to use edited databases, I'm not sure whether you can add graphics packs on the Game Pass version and also you won't get access to the beta via Game Pass. I'm not knocking Game Pass here though, I subscribe to it myself and have done for quite some time and it is superb value. However, it won't suit everyone who wants to play FM.
