It all depends on your situation. If you have money to buy it and aren't already engrossed in an FM05 game, go for it. If you are maybe you should wait another while until its a bit cheaper and you aren't still playing FM05 regularly.

agreed

play.com messed up my order.

They sent me a game called warriors for the playstation even though the receipt inside the package states FM 2006 clearly. Now have to send it back either for a full refund or FM 2006 itself.Can i wait another week for the game!! Is it worth waiting a week to save yourself 15 euro

Why not buy it in a shop, and then when your play copy comes in take it to the shop still in its plastic seal and ask for a refund. Seeing as how you haven't opened it they should refund what you payed for it.

Dempsey

That better not happen to me. Im on 56k and they release this huge patch. Annoying

galwaydude

well im going to post that ****ty game play.com sent me by mistake and ask for a refund. The post box in the mail room in my apartment building isnt big enough for the parcel to go in so i was lucky to regularly check for the game as it was half hanging out of the post box, anyone could have taken it.

Off to HMV in grafton street in the morning to get the game as not waiting another week just to save 15 euro

Finaly got my copy in the post today. Ordered 2 months ago from play and they posted it last wednesday. Will fire it up maybe tonight.

Dempsey

Still waiting on my copy from play.com, it better arrive tomorrow...or ill be bored for another day

RedorDead

Anyone else still waiting for theirs from Play.com?

Mine was posted last Monday. How long should it take? Have been hearing some horror stories about An Post lately.

Dempsey

I got mine today. It was posted last friday evening. My email said 3-5 days but mine took 6 plus a weekend

I wouldn't be in a hurry to get it, it's a bit of a disappointment tbh. Match engine and feeling of the game/tactics isn't right, and it's not vastly different to 2005 (apart from these bad points).

Dempsey

Im not disappointed, not huge differences between them but then I wasn't expecting them to. I'm not sure what you mean by the engine, feeling of the game/tactics not being right

Well, once you play for a while, many people notice ridiculous performances and results for no apparent reason, and players not sticking to the tactics laid out.

There are horror stories of experienced CM/FM players facing relegation with Chelsea!

Mine arrived this morning also. So it seems it takes 4 working days after it was posted.

besty

To buy or not to buy, that is the question!

I ordered my copy on 24th october from play, they said it was posted on the 25th, but i'm still waiting for it.its driving me mad because i stopped playing a game on fm2005 and uninstalled it from my laptop because i was getting fm2006.
Does anyone know How long it normally takes for orders to arrive from play?

An Post are not going on strike on monday, there is just a ban on overtime, which means you that the post will just be a bit later than normal

An Post strike to proceed ahead of CWU talks

06 November 2005 22:40

Industrial action at An Post is due to go ahead, despite a breakthrough in negotiations aimed at resolving the long-running pay dispute.

Both the Communications Workers' Union and An Post management have accepted a proposal for independent financial costing of management plans to change working practices at the company.

The agreement allows accountants to independently assess the cost of the amendments.

The CWU is to call an emergency meeting tomorrow to consider a suspension of industrial action pending the assessment.

An Post says tomorrow's industrial action will cause serious disruption to services and has advised customers not to send mail until further notice. This applies to all mail for local, national and international distribution.

The dispute centres on pay increases due for the past two years under Sustaining Progress.

The company says it will not pay the increases unless collection and delivery staff agree to changes in work practices aimed at cutting the company's overtime costs.

I wouldn't order online right now myself.

Just to let you know - I just got a copy today (Christmas is coming!!) from MX2. It was only €25 - £16.00 including postage and packing!!

Incredible. It is a super site with free P&P for Ireland.
