ok maybe so, but like I said I have never bought either of these games, and from people ive asked on different message boards and at EB/Gamestop when I stopped by pre orders as I was told have never started this early. I find it hard to believe that EA has nothing to do with when a store can start pre selling their games, but like I said I dont know for sure so if im wrong then im wrong no biggie

Trust me, EA has nothing to do with EB/Gamestop taking pre-orders.

Just let him believe what he wants to believe. It will help him sleep better at night.

EA could care less about this game causing competetion between the two. There will be none. Madden will win in sales by a large number. EA will surely look at this game and try steal any ideas that they can from it for next years Madden. Too bad it will take them 3 years to include it all.

Thats 500,000 X $60.00 which is $30 million dollars that will not go into EA coffers. You say that is peanuts to EA well look at it this way. That is close to what EA is paying the NFL yealy for their licence. They will take notice for sure and probaby do some underhand or dirty trick to put a damper on the release.

See this is EXACTLY what I mean.....

I sleep good at night regardless of what goes on in video game world. As I said I never bought Madden or NCAA. I was told by people who buy and people who sale the games that pre orders for those games never started this early. Yeah I see how they could care less, After getting the rights to NFL, they went out and got rights to all other leagues of football just so nobody aka 2k could make a game. Or am I wrong about this also?
