Freagle Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I can just picture half the people in this thread with their doorbells wired up to megaphones throughout the house this morning.

rbcuk Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Do yours both say despatch date as 30/10/09? Yes mine does, but had a email from them earlier saying: Our buyers have advised us that stock has been received at our warehouse yesterday and due for despatch today. You will receive an email to let you know that this has been sent to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaderspurs Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Have heard that PC World stores are selling as well Where have you heard this-anyone else aware of this? Is it worth taking a 20min drive there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
malleria Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 My status from zavvi is 'awaiting dispatch' and is estimated to dispatch on the 30th, does this mean ill get the game on the 30th? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollyh Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Finally the ukmail van turned up and I've got FM, although went upstairs to go and install it and the pc was off, had a powercut ffs!

Woodzy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I just tried cancelling my Zavvi order, and it wouldn't let me do it. Checked my bank account, and my balance is £17ish down from what it should be, so something is going on. Should be here by Thursday or Friday anyways hopefully if it's sent today, happy days.

Mike.83 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I made a deal with my brother, I'd get us Fifa10, he can get us FM2010. I pre ordered mine, got it on the Thursday. My brother has decided the best bet to get the game is to buy it in town on Friday. I just text him to call him some rather nasty names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtyprettymagpie Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Just received this email from Zavvi... 'One of our customer services advisors has reviewed your query and we are able to confirm the following: I am sorry that you have not received your order. Football Manager 2010 [PC] has been sent to you today. Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days from our Warehouse in the Channel Islands via first class Royal Mail. Should your order not arrive to you within that time you need to allow 10 full working days for delivery before notifying us then we can track this with Royal Mail. If you have not received your order by the 11th November 2009 then please contact us and we will be able to look into this further for you.' Not too disimilar to what a lot of others have had.

Makollig Jezvahted Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Lucky all of you ....... seems like us British always come last ....... always follow damn rules I picked up my copy during my lunchbreak. They were filling the shelfs as I turned the corner of the PC games section When I asked why they sold it 2 days early, the staff (all ladies ) didn't even realised there was such a thing as an "official release date".

50_kwache Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 My Zavvi order is still maintaining that it will be delivered on Friday. However, and slightly confusingly, I also pre-ordered Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 on same day from Zavvi and that is saying it will arrive on the 6th November, despite being released last week! Not sure why they can't deliver it at the same time but there you go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But SI/SEGA could have done what Microsoft did last week when Windows 7 was getting released and asked distributors to ship early so postal strike would not effect their customers ...... after all we buy the games and put money in their pockets. No such luck in this case though ....sadly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantopsych Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 good on you guys for getting it early- I'm jealous!!! But goodluck to you guys- have fun! Quote: I think they should at least bring the digital download release forward 1 day, to 00.01 Thursday. That would be reasonable, considering the amount of people who seem to have the game already today. Quote: Originally Posted by fvanlaere Not that I want to sound impatient or anything, but hearing that some people already got the game (for a low price) while I have paid in euros on Steam (for a considerable price) is a bit annoying. Hopefully they will release the game early on Steam. I do agree with these guysl... I buy a lot of games from steam, not exculusively, but a fair amount- I know I generally pay more this way than buying from online for a hardcopy- but, that is for the convience of updates, post messing up, etc and also having the game available when the game is realsed- it is annoying that others can play the game now, despite paying more for it- I guess that's the way it goes...but it does seem unfair. At least the correct unlock time is now showing on steam- still a day or two is no big deal.. but, next year I won't bother with steam. I suspect there maybe others like me...it must annoy (using the polite version!) other retailers more than us gamers though...cause next year we know who to purchase the game from and who not to.

Lagarr Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Not bothered about getting the game early because the patch isnt out until friday but if they release the patch early then it is a whole new ball game.
