Sorry to bring this up again, but does anyone know of any sites that will ship the new FM 06 to US adresses? With the release date being set, id really like to order the game if possible.

I'll talk with the guys tommorow (it's still early morning in London) and try and get a list, but I'd really like to encourage you to talk to your local stores and enquiry about the availability of World Wide Soccer Manager; I know how frustrating it can be to wait, so if you do end up importing it, it would be incredibley helpful for the stores to know that there are people interested in the product in the US.

Yea, the ETA on Gamestops site says 11/1, of course last year there was a big mess, but still. If you reserve it, you shouldn't have a problem getting it, once it comes out. I'll be heading to my local Gamestop to preorder this weekend.

Would I be asking them to reserve Football Manager 2006 or would I be wanting World Wide Soccer Manager?

(In the US I mean)

I tried that last year, it was a huge mess. I went to about 10 different shops in my area and they all said they wouldnt carry it. When I finally got one to take the preorder, they asked for a 50% down payment. I figured it was not a big deal so I said yes. When the US release date came, they said it would be a couple of days late, no problem I said. Anyway, long story short, they never got it, my deposit was returned in store credit, and I wasnt very happy. I downloaded a bootleg version, but never installed it as i felt guilty about taking money away from SI. I still play the old CM 4 I got at my local Fry's a couple of years back. I'm really liking the screen shots of the new features, so I want to update my game

I heard Frys actually carried WSM last year, so try there again. But, definatly, try any Gamestop, or ebgames(Since GS bought them out) this year, typically they are good for their preorders, but make sure you do order it, cause if you don't, chances are slim your local store will be chosen to carry it(What happened to me last year)

You'd want to ask for World Wide Soccer Manager 2006.

Um, isn't that illegal? Aren't they required to refund your money?

Yes, but they refunded in store credit. They consider it the same thing, when really its not. I gave it away last year because I dont play many video games anymore except this one.

The Fry's stores around here carry all the old CM series upto 03/04. Some are actually pretty good deals too. The 98 version was 5 dollars last time i checked. Good way to get people hooked on the game.

Does anyone know if there is a major difference between FM 2006 and Worldwide Soccer Manager 2006? Is it just the name and box art that is different? I'm also wondering if WSM 06 comes in the PC/MAC format? I have a MAC and I don't want to order a PC-only version by mistake.

Thanks
