As you probably remember, precisely a year ago the members of Sports Interactive decided to make the game available to download using the Internet. It was a brilliant move which let them increase the sale’s rates. No wonder that this year they decided to do the same. However, if you want to pre-order FM 2010 via Steam, you have to pay as much as 49,99€. To encourage potential buyers and increase their number, SI provides The FM 2010 with a free copy of racing game OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast from Sega as well as makes the new FM available to download instantly after placing the order.

Football Manager 2010 will be unblocked on the day of its premiere, which is the 30th of October, right after midnight, so the players who purchased the game using the Internet will be able to launch it as the first as well as to use full speed download connection. Additionally, the game will be automatically installed to their hard drives.

The price of such a purchase seems to be the only disadvantage. However, the fact that the whole downloading and installing process will be so quick and easy is really tempting. Combine it with the free racing game and you will get a pretty good offer.
