Buy ChampMan 2010 for only £2.51
"Pay What You Want," says Eidos.
Eidos is offering you the chance to buy the latest Championship Manager game for as little at 1p and a £2.50 transaction fee.
The promotion runs from 9am today until midnight on 10th September. You must register on the ChampMan website to make use of the offer, which only applies to digital downloads.
Championship Manager 2010 will be available to download from 11th September, at which point the game's price will rise to £29.99.
"This is the first time an initiative like this has ever been tried in the videogames market," said CM2010 boss Roy Meredith, no doubt aware of the pioneering Radiohead In Rainbows album sale.
"This is the best Championship Manager the studio has ever made and we want as many people as possible to try the full new game as once they try it we're convinced they will come back again and again."
Our recent hands-on impressions of Championship Manager 2010 has all the nitty gritty details.

You have to head to http://www.champmanstor e.com to purchase it but it asks for a username and password. The one I registered with on the site doesn't work
Lets hope this isn't just a big PR stunt to generate website traffic!!!
EDIT - Ok, ignore me, turns out the link on their page was wrong! Its http://www.champmanst ore.co.uk not .com!!

It's worked on me, i've played the demo but wasn't going to get the full game at £25, but at a tenth of the price it's a certainty.

It's a good plan, those who'd not normally bother will purchase at that price - so you guarantee additional sales for no cost.
Additionally many will wait for the boxed version regardless, so the impact on actual sales may not be as great as many believe - this is certainly a boost to sales and distribution of the game rather than a cut in sales and revenue.

10:35 am - Demo uninstalled
Just because it only costs £2.50 doesn't suddenly make it good.
Still a mile away from beating Football Manager...

If they find people want to pay considerably less on average they can see how much game they can make for that price (somewhere between a traditional champman and an iphone version) so that they still make a profit! Good all round.
Perhaps the average price will be lower though because people will buy it that wouldn't have otherwise. Nice one!

CM Season Live is additional downloadable content, available at just £5 for 6 updates, including all the latest statistics, scores, competition standings, player transfers, player stats, bookings and major injuries plus much more from the 10 leading countries in Europe and can be downloaded directly to the game throughout the season.

First update is free however:
With just a few days to go until demo release, we thought now would be a good time to inform you of a free data update we'll be offering for download on the day of release. [link url=http:/ /www.championshipmanager.co.uk/server/show/ConWebDoc.1051?PH PSESSID=3625613ae4eadd4b9402267cac07efe8

Eidos were left holding the CM brand. At that point, it'd be foolish to chuck it all away.

To be honest, if FM is better, then I'd rather pay £25 for that than get a game for £2.50 that I'll never play. Video games for me have never been about price... when I'm comparing two games, I'm not looking at which one is cheaper, rather which one interests me the most.

Well Radiohead did the same thing, does that mean Radiohead aren't very good?
But honestly, I think you are right - they are up against a game (FM) that almost everyone says does everything better than this - they certainly need to give people a reason to buy.

Will they sell 4x the copies online this way compared to the store?
Probably...
And then for all those people who don't understand the internet, they'll buy it full price in the store anyway.

Few things are more entertaining than Postman Pat taking down Darth Vader with a crunching tackle, or God being sacked as a team manager and scrounging for work in the conference leagues.

It seems a bold move and if they end up getting extra sales and some good PR/word of mouth it should be worth it.
Something of a little is better than all of nothing
