Re: GameStop pre-order CODES for Madden NFL 10 demo available July 15th

i just dropped down 5 bucks hope the demo comes soon. The guy at the store really didn't have too much info based on the demo.

Week.

Anyways, I'm almost 100% certain this is not the case. Hopefully Phil can come in and Phil us in (nyuk nyuk).

Or maybe someone who had the FNR4 preview code? How'd that work?

I had the FNR4 code. All it did was allow us to get the demo a week or so earlier than everyone else.

Perhaps they'll do the same for Madden.

I don't know if it's cool or vogue to bash GameStop, but it's a little bit of a generalization to say that "they're largely incompetent when it comes to games" when EA (in case you're wondering, a fairly large player in video games) is doing significant business with the company, that speaks to the success of the company...if people were as incompetent as you say...then the company wouldn't have been successful at all.

Oddly enough, how do you suppose that you would get a demo of this caliber were it not for a large retailer to pair with?

Dynamite, you know you're cool with me because you're a Raiders fan, but I have to say, out of all the franchises I've done business with (buying, selling, and trading games is doing business), Gamestop is by far the worst I've experienced. As you notice I'm referring to my experiences. I try to avoid gamestop like the plague. I had bad experiences in California when I lived there for a year. I've had bad experiences in Mobile, Alabama( my home town). I HAVE bad experiences here in VA(where I live now). That's not just a coincidence.
I've had them try to rip my 6 yr old son off when he was trying to trade in some of his DS games. I had a serious argument with an employee one time because I bought a NEW game and he gave me one that had been opened and wanted to charge me full price. This has been well documented since that incident happened to me. See here:

http://www.projectcoe.com/nintendo/editorials/gamestop_nin.html

These are just the most recent incidents. I'm not gonna even gonna go all the way back to before I moved to VA. They are, to put it nicely, shady. If you google "Gamestop" and the word "scams" or "shady" or any word similar in definition you'll find gobs of posts and blogs detailing horrific experiences in gamestop. So Dynamite we're cool, but forgive me if I don't share the same feeling about the company that rhymes with the company you work for.

man i hate going into gamestop. but i guess i hafta. the bidness itself may be competent, but the minimum wage people they have inside arent. but its like going to taco bell and expecting them to get your burritas right. if they do, i consider it a bonus. just expect the worst and you can be pleasantly surprised.

P.s and this is from the local area managers

Gentlemen, let's keep this on topic. This is not the thread to discuss the competence of Gamestop employees, the company's business practices, or anything else that doesn't pertain to the demo/code release. Thanks for your cooperation...

Re: Madden NFL 10 GameStop Pre-Order Demo Codes Available July 15th (Destructoid)

We'll find out tomorrow about the demo disc. I'm definitely going tomorrow when I get off work. I fully expect them to give me some excuse or tell me something went wrong or something that does not involve them putting a demo disc in my hand. Wouldn't it be tight though if they DID put it in my hand. Stay tuned.

[TreyIM2]

I actually hit Gamestop after the gym before this was posted, and a worker said that they may not get the codes til the 24th "or sumthin like that in the email I read...". GS is usually pretty clueless as the GS I went to yesterday while in a mall had a "We don't know WHEN the codes are coming in. They don't tell us nuffin'" statement.

Sidebar - GS now has posters saying that if u trade in NCCA Football 10 toward the pre-order of Madden, you'll get $40 credit. EA is expecting disgust of NCAA 10, I guess, once it is released and purchased by many.

[xylocaine]

Well I didn't want ncaa anyways, Madden will be much better and evoled. I question EA's timing with NCAA, but I love it personally

Re: Madden NFL 10 GameStop Pre-Order Demo Codes Available July 15th (Destructoid)

I just got an e-mail from EA saying that if you pre-ordered madden then you can get the demo from gamestop on the 23rd, and everyone else must wait till the 30th.
