Here's your chance to get your hands on Pro Cycling Manager 2010 from the 17th of June (Thursday) AND support PCM.daily at the same time: We've made a deal with the publisher, Focus Home Interactive, which means that we get a part of the income of the sales that comes from PCM.daily.
Since this is the first deal of its kind, we were not able to negotiate a price reduction into the deal, but if we're able to deliver some good results this year, we'll also be able to come up with an even better deal for you next year.
Instead, the main reason to buy the game through PCM.daily is that you support the site. Running this site is very far from being free, and so far, I have been paying for all expenses myself (with the exception of the Google Ads - this covers a rather small percentage). This is not something that I mind, since I consider this a hobby of mine - but obviously, with the costs covered, we'd be able to arrange even more competitions with prizes, like the ones we currently have, where you can win Pro Cycling Manager 2010. And as I said: We may also be able to get you a better deal next year.
A few days ago, we reported that Pro Cycling Manager 2010 had been sold two weeks too early in Germany. Since then, it's been flooding with screenshots, and here at PCM.daily, we've also had the chance to upload the game manuals, thanks to a German member who sent them to us.
And now, it's time for the Dutch people to enjoy the game. Two of our Dutch members have reported that the game is now for sale in Netherlands, two days earlier than the official release date . One specifically mentioned that he had bought it for 45 € in 'Music Store' - and that probably means that we'll soon be seeing even more screenshots.
PCM.daily has finally released the final version of its 2010 DB for Pro Cycling Manager 2009. The package that we've made available this evening makes it possible to update the beta version to the final version. A full package (in .exe) will be available tomorrow afternoon.
From the beta to the final, the main change is the equipment setup. Many of you wanted the old selection screen back, so that's what we've basically done: taken the V1 setup and worked it into the V2. It should be noted that the selectable equipment is not necessarily fully updated as that would require more work than we had time for. It will be completely redone for PCM10, though.
Other than that, some stats have been adjusted, some helmets have been updated to newer versions, we've added some 2010 default race leader shirts, and we've of course also been going through the bug reports and solved what was possible within the short amount of time that we had.
Unless major bugs show up out of nowhere, we're glad to say that this is the final release for PCM09. Personally, I hope that people have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy the work that we've released. On the other hand, we're also looking forward to be playing PCM10 with you in the near future.
As promised, we have a bunch of digital versions, sponsored by Focus Home Interactive, that we want to hand out to our members. A_Schleck won the 1st competition, and it's now time to the 2nd one.
This time, you will have to use some common sense and a bit of luck. You simply have to guess the amount of posts that have been posted in the forum since PCM.daily was opened in 2006. There are several ways to count, but the right answer is the one that I've noted down (counted by an internal / system post counter) in this very moment (23:06).
The one who comes closest wins a digital version of PCM10.

The deadline for doing so is 20:00 CET tomorow (15th of June). PMs and guesses in the comments section will be ignored.
Yesterday, we opened up for the 1st of more competitions here at PCM.daily where it's possible to win a digital copy of Pro Cycling Manager 2010. All we asked you to do was to guess the winner of the stage to Alpe d'Huez in the Dauphine Libere - and 98 of you got the winner correctly: Alberto Contador.
We have now made a draw between those who got it right, and it's time to reveal the winner. Click the 'Read More' button to find out ;)
