Two words man: Sam Goody! Goody got it! is our battlecry this year!

I'm just really pumped for this game. I wish I had a car so that I could hunt around the suburbs of Boston for it. Damn you, MBTA.

The key is to come to the forums and post where the games are being sold early. Last year I remember it was FYE here in Miami, the year before I believe Targets across the country were selling the game early.

I will be checking this thread and the forums daily in the comming days.

I promise you, the game stores already have emails from EA stating what the street date is. We used to get them when I manged one of these stores from our corporate office It basically would say Madden (insert year) should be arriving in our stores on (insert date). Please store your copies in the back and continue to take reserves until the day prior to the street date (insert date)

You are correct except you are missing a line.

"Anyone who fails to cooperate and breaks the street date will be subject to disciplinary actions up to and including termination."

I got mine at Sam Goody the Saturday before it was released. They had just got a few copies in. We no longer have a Sam Goody though...


Honestly, if someone like in Dallas or Austin area got the game and would pick me up one..I think I would drive there and take that person to eat ..lol

The game is crack and is our Christmas.
