They will send them closer to the release date

I ordered mine from amazon and got my beta key. Maybe send them a messege to see just to make sure that they'll be sent later.

Been on to them already here is what they said.

keys will be distributed nearer to the beta release and can be found under 'keys' on your GMG account.

In Australia at the moment and FM13 is a scandalous $80 (€65)!

I reckon I'll be sticking with FM12 until I get back to a sane part of the world.

Just came across this:

$35.99 pre ordered.

I went on using a UK VPN and it defaulted to £stg using the code it goes down to £19.50 (€25 using Paypal). I submitted my address as Ireland and it didn't seem to matter, payment gone through.

Doubt there will be a cheeper legit price this side of Christmas.

If you can get it on a US VPN its $26. I've been trying but not working for me, I'll keep trying though!

Pre-ordered my copy on Greenmangaming today. Got it for £24 which im happy with.

I take it the beta should be out in the next few days given we're only a couple of days from the 2 weeks to release point.

its coming up as €49.99 for me? anyone got a valid voucher code?

also if you buy online do you recieve an actual disk? or can you play it offline without the disk?

GavRedKing

Last year, for FM 12, my buddy picked it up in a shop for €34.99.

I think it was either Gamestop or HMV but its something to look out for on release day anyway, you might get lucky if you have the time to go to town or a shopping centre.

irishgeo

anyone got a beta code from greenmangaming?

Not sure if the offer is still ongoing, but I got it off there a few weeks back using this code :

www.greenmangaming.com/
GMGFM-C7BEY-U0PMY
enter that code to get fm13 for 32 euro
its a download

Im in the uk so i think its cheaper here. There was a code on the site when i went on it yesterday that took it down to £24 from £30 so try that.

Strawberry Fields

just got a code too from green man, it's added on steam, locked until release day. Nothing about the demo tho.

These keys are for the Beta and will be automatically upgraded to the full game.

Its not been confirmed when the Beta will start so please check Sega, Sports Interactive websites and Twitter accounts for up-to-date information on this

from green man website.

TheGunns

Downloading it now and theres about an hour left. Hopefully Ill get it on before I hit the hay.

redzerdrog

went training while it was loading so getting ready to get stuck in!

This just might be Liverpools year

can you make individual training regimes this year? Can't see the option.

Shzm

Just bought it there from GMG for $29 which is roughly £19? Not bad I reckon. No codes or anything needed.

Only took 40 mins to DL as well.

From Where? I can only find it for €38 at the cheapest

Irishcrx

Likewise where is GMG? How are people finding the game so far?

irishgeo

any first impressions?

GMG = greenmangaming

Website: http://www.greenmangaming.com/?gclid=COq3i4r9jLMCFROe4AodhG0AJg

Not too sure what's being done to get us prices. VPN probably.

Shzm

Nah no VPN, I am in Slovakia though - but that shouldn't make a diff since it should show me EU prices anyway.

Edit: Just checked again, and the URL for FM 2013 I get is this: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/sk/en/pc/games/sports/football-manager-2013/ so from the 'sk' in the URL it just looks like Slovakia get US pricing for some reason.

Im liking it a lot. Although there are plenty of bugs but you can overlook them easily. Much more options and the interface is improved yet again. Loving the new look and the game overall but the match engine is currently a bit dodgey. Also, when changing to FM classic you have to change skins which is annoying but nothing more than a tad.

Fully working from what I can see although I havent tried it, only went as far as loading the leagues for it.

Ando's Saggy Bottom

Whats the Classic Mode like? Could tempt me into a purchase.

Shaneboyle

Just bought it.... can't wait to download.. have got fm since 2010...

Anyway to change the backround colour ?, that bright colour does my head in

me too

i dont like the layout of the match options

too much clickin just to get my tactics up!

also, very hard to swap player around on the formation screen

if you try click on them to drag them to another position/make a sub - you end up looking at their stats or changing their style of play -pissin me off

gnfnrhead

Over the coming weeks I am expecting everyone who has the game to give full in depth reviews on the good and the bad so I can decide if I should get it or not.
