Messenjah1 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 You'll get a non-personalised copy and a link to order a personalised sleeve for it. If memory serves, I didn't get the link last year until after the game was released.Then again I didn't get the game from Play at all, it went missing somewhere along the line. At least they didn't mess me about with a refund. Oh ok then, seems fine to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottybee Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 ordered mine from shopto.net at 4.55pm yesterday...order status is 'processing' and I didn't get a receipt till after 6pm so looks like I won't get it today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantopsych Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 hmm... this is annoying. Not usually one to whinge, but I'm going to now! Either- you have a release date or you don't- setting up an expectation and then finding out others already have it or can have it 2 days before, is not really fair. Clearly, with foresight we would've reviewed our purchasing options. I've got mine from steam- not next year. But you have fun guys- not your fault, good on you.

Matt ex SEGA Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Its all about rules here, it does my head in.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 You appear to have made that up. We spoke to all our retailers who are mailing the game. They all had plans in place to counter the potential mail strike which is why many, many people actually have the game early. Some of them appear to have gone a bit overboard... The release date is the 30th. If you get your game earlier, you're very fortunate - there's really nothing that we can do, at this late stage, to change that. Enjoy it when you get it...

neevesc Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 If my game doesn't arrive today am I entitled to a refund of my next-day delivery fee from UKmail as they have sent me an email saying I would receive the game today?

Its just sad that some people have the game early ..... I ordered from Zavvi so will just have to wait which I understand its not your fault But I woudl be willing to but the game from Steam if it was released on there early ....surely you have more control over that ....uploading it to their servers and letting peeps download it Anyways , I'll know the game is worth it so might as well just keep on playing the demo ........

As it stands the earliest that would get stock onto shelves for would be... Friday morning.I suspect, to be honest, that most people will be selling it tomorrow anyway. Doesn't this actually contradict itself ? You suspect that most people will be selling it tomorrow, which is Thursday, yet you say the earliest people could get the stock onto their shelves if you asked them would be Friday ? If they can sell it tomorrow then surely they already have the stock ? If that's the case then since it's 2009, and technology has come a long way, shouldn't it be as easy as you emailing bloke at Game, bloke at game then emailing all stores, blokes in stores read the email and put stock out ?

chesterfan2 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Amazon have just e-mailed me telling me that "On checking our inventory I found that we still have not received the item "Football Manager 2010 (PC/MAC DVD)" from our suppliers. Please know that this item is displayed on our website with a release date of October 30, 2009."Best get back to painting my kid's bedroom, the 'reason' I had today off in the first place !

I think Matt means that if they were to send official communication to the various stores, then by the time that trickles down to shop level, it would be Friday, but that nowing what has happened in the past, the shops will more than likely sell "unofficially" a day earlier than they should.

Blanchflower1 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 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". 'When games arrive, we put them in the store' Maybe you British should be hiring more female staff in the PC departments of retail stores Which country are you from, mate?

This is my point. It's not like they'd have to send the message via pigeon ! I work for a large (some say the biggest) UK mobile phone network, and we have a large number of retail outlets, and are all connected to the internet and are hooked up to the companies email network. When we need to get a message to all of them, we send a blanket email to all shops, who then get it almost instantly.

I'm sure Matt can clear it up, but as SI and SEGA aren't the ones selling the game, the communication would have to go throughthem and then the retailers down to the shop level. Much like the majority of people in this forum, I'd like the game ASAP too, so whilst I understand your frustration, I'm sure that a day or two isn't going to make that much difference really.
