Bren_D Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Their original target for dispatch was 29/10 according to my account page, well ordering from The Hut anyway but they own/operate Zavvi. I expect the emails we've all received are automated ones sent after missing a target date by a certain amount of time. They don't dispatch from the Channel Islands like Play, if memory serves, so they've got a little while to get them in the post. The Hut group have always got the game to me on day of release in the past, so I'm not worried about the email. Hopefully this isn't the start of all the Zavvi bashing we saw last year Not that I'm accusing you of bashing them, but now we've got a bandwagon for people to jump on.

Baffling/Thank god I don't have to travel to England just to buy a game that doesn't get released here As for the Zavvi mail: I didn't get one. It only says 'processing' on Zavvi.

Roman Chevalier Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 When i got to game or amazon website it says rrp £39.99.............which is too much, but they are selling for 27-29 quid.

richie32 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 im a little hopefull of an early release. i seen somewhere, that someone said it will still be released on the 5th, but if its available online for free, from what i hear its the boxed version of the full game, and stores are alledgedly(sp) selling the game in spain or belgium or poland or wherever, and the games are in the stores sittin in boxes, why not just make the call or send the email or whatever and start makin some cash for themselves. also a guy in a well known game shop told me a couple of years back when i was buyin fm06 or 07 or somethin, its was actually a couple of days before the official release date(i didnt know), coz some other shop sold a copy of it earlier that week everyone just start sellin it coz he said they couldnt get in trouble, only the fool who sold the first copy. so come on si or whoever i need to ask, release the game. ps. i opted out of downloading the game for free out of respect for what the lads at fm do every year for us. thanks a lot. cant say i wasnt tempted though, i know of at least 12 people who took it off the net today an another 3 or 4 who could of too, these guys would of all bought the game on friday, but lookin forward as usual to buyin my copy whenever its out. wish i could play it now though lol.

It's disgusting that we have to pay twice as much as everywhere else in the world, and I've never seen a decent excuse as to why it happens. Idiots will occasionally say something about EB and other stores not making much profit off it, if we can order it online for around $40 then they could too. Buying in bulk they should even get a better price. Either the games companies, distributors or our own government are ripping us off. The government may have some sort of tax on them that I don't know about, although they were all supposed to go with the GST, yeah right. The old excuse was our weak dollar, well that was ages ago, we're nearly the same as the US dollar now, yet are still paying twice as much as everyone else. I know we should all just order online, but I've stopped using my credit card as I need to bring it down a bit. So I was waiting for it to pop up in JB, but if it's over $80 I'm not buying it on principal. No game should be released for more than $Au50, that's still more than what everyone else in the world pays. And they wonder why there's illegal copies out there.

Pompey1978 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yes well there is no difference except for transfers. Not strictly true, some things that are set up when you create a new game may affect that save for the duration of the game, and can't be changed with the patch. It's always best - not essential, but best - to start a new game post-patch, which is why many people do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be getting it from the shop where i'll be garenteed it! Why not? Is there something important in the patch that makes the game unplayable? I havent noticed any earth shattering bugs in the demo and since the full game is made from the same code it should be good enough. And besides the patch works on older save games. Anyway...i pretty sure my game is going to arrive long after the patch has been released. Oh well..its cheaper to order online than to buy locally.

Nor had Morrisons around the corner. I went off to work, and at lunchtime popped into the ASDA there. They'd had a supply and sold out, but were expecting another batch "sometime this afternoon". I went back after work at 5pm, and bought the last copy they had. That's why I've gone back to internet shopping this year! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
