LOL - I'm on a telephone conference and that actually made me laugh out loud

I would agree the economy is definitely not the reason. The poor quality next gen 06/07/08 releases seems to be catching up with them - that has done more to undermine sales than anything imo. I don't think it's a coincidence we're seeing Tiburon making a huge effort to reach out more to the game's fans

But you could just put Madden up on ebay right away, get just under full value for it, and then you have a good deal on Head Coach as well as have it early

Our economy is down from where it's been the past 10 years... but it's far from bad.

Heck, I didn't have to pay $20,000 and have to drink bad beer at frat parties to figure that out.
