Eidos Interactive Ltd, creator of some of the world's leading videogame properties, today announces that Championship Manager 2010 is now available on PC-DVD across Europe, in an exclusive Special Edition featuring the full game and free CM Season Live which is normally priced at £5 for six updates throughout the season, a CM Manager's Notebook & Pencil plus a giant league structure poster – everything you need to become the definitive manager.

Last month, Eidos and Beautiful Game Studios shocked the industry with the announcement that it would allow fans to pre-order its upcoming football management title, Championship Manager 2010, by paying only what they felt the game was worth. The Pay What You Want promotion means that until the close of play on September 10, you can legitimately pre-order a digital download version of the game for only 1p plus a £2.50 transaction fee. At gamescom last month we caught up with Beautiful Game Studios general manager Roy Meredith, who revealed that the promotion has been a huge success. … it is going well, really really well. I can't give out numbers, but it's going well from two perspectives. The amount of publicity we had exceeded what I was thinking we were going to get. It was amazing. And from a sales perspective as well it's exceeded what we wanted to do, which is great, said Meredith.

Activision made headlines recently, due to their decision to increase the price of Modern Warfare 2 in the United Kingdom. However, Beautiful Game Studios also made headlines because of their decision to employ a pay what you want campaign. Gaming Union were able to catch up with Roy Meredith, General Manager of Beautiful Game Studios to ask his opinion on the matter.

The world famous football management simulation has sealed a deal with the online scouting resource to share their unrivalled player data, which comprises an unprecedented level of detailed information on hundreds of thousands of different players from every major professional football league in the world. Championship Manager will use IMScouting's vast amount of information to ensure a much higher level of detail on players across the world, adding even more depth to the Championship Manager playing experience.
