Today Only: Download Championship Manager 2010 for 1p

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

From today's Daily Mirror:

PC GAME AT JUST 1P 18/08/2009

Football fans can bag the transfer bargain of the season today by downloading a top PC game for just a penny.

But while maker Eidos is offering Championship Manager 2010 for 1p, it hopes most gamers will pay a little more.

Game chief Roy Meredith said it was time football was put back into fans' hands with its honesty box plus £2.50 for download costs.

Eidos said: "When ticket prices are at a premium, we are offering the chance to try the new version for the price fans want to pay."

The popular game, repeatedly upated since 1992, lets users take charge of any club from Reading to Real Madrid.

That is all

Have just done a quick look elsewhere

Pay What You Want for Championship Manager 2010 :

Reads as if you can pre-order it from 9am today at a price you choose, for a download on release date of 10th September.


Not quite the same thing I suppose, the Mirror might have got it slightly wrong, but still a bit of a bargain methinks.

its not jut today the order site says:

Pay what you want price is subject to a £2.50 transaction fee. Offer valid until September 10th, 23:59. CM 2010 will be available to download from September 11th 2009.

Good idea for them I guess, I have heard alot of people are cancelling their pre orders after playing the demo because despite taking 2 years to make it is still full of bugs. So this will encourage a few extra people to buy it, even if for just 1p.

Still a great bargain and one I shall most definitely be taking them up on.

Wonder what Turkey will make of this?

Publicity stunt, nothing more, everybody knows championship manager is rubbish.

 

[Mellotron]

Shame it's not Football Manager. Championship Manager died years ago.

 

[tinx]

yeah but for £2.50 I am gonna give it a go. Whereas previously I wouldn't even have considered getting anything but FM

I am actually thinking the same.

I think you should download the CM demo first as that's free.

Personally, I'd use my £2.51 to go down the pub for a pint.

Just been back again and it turns out that my order was registered. Bit worrying that I never got an acknowledgement following the server crash.

Oops. Forgot. Oh well. Another year of FM, then.

You can do it up until 31st August

Seriously, download the free demo. If you still think it's worth your money, then go for it.

Useful. As Turkey says, I'll try the demo first.
