would you risk getting fired over getting madden at midnight?

If you have bills, rent, kids, ect; NO GAME is worth losing your job over.

HOWEVER....If you still live with your parents and your job is just for spending money then screw it!!! Call in, buy Madden and hope you still have your job...if not live off mom and dad until you find another job.

I have a M-F job so its all gonna be cool with me!

Last time I checked it was kinda hard to play Madden when your living in a card board box.

Dude take a breath and relaxs. Im sure the guys at EA wouldnt reccommend that you risk losing your job over a game. You are going to get it on release day. Just call Gamestop and tell them to hold your copy that you will be there at what ever time you can make it. They will hold your copy. I use to manage for them trust me I know.

Are you serious!? Why would you want to risk getting fired when you can just get it the next day or when ever you get the time? Thats not a very smart move IMO and to top it off its a video game, you can wait.

One other thing. Didn't you say you pre-orderd from Gamestop? I wouldn't it be there. If you pre-order they will keep it for 48 hours.

From Email I got from them:
Please pickup your product within 48 hours of store arrival. If the product is not picked up within 48 hours, you authorize us to charge a $5.00 fee to the credit card you provide, to cover the cost of shipping and handling to the store.

I'm assuming whatever current position you are in your life, you can get Madden at Midnight. To some, it's not that important to lose a job over game, knowing they have a lot of copies.

Yes, get yourself fired over a video game..../SARCASM
