Re: Congratulations???????

The whole street date thing is stupid!
The street date is being broken in many cities and the true fans- the ones who are going to be picking this up upon release and those who have pre-ordered are the ones EA is punishing by having a street date.
Has EA even considered that?

Only the true fans are sitting there counting down the days. Let the retailers sell the damn game when they get their copies in!!!!

Re: Congratulations???????

Street Dates weren't put in place by the Publishers they were put in place by the big retail chains.

That's why I think the whole "they will get a big fine" thing is total BS.

Please find me one article on the internet where a retailer was fined for selling a video game early.

As long as you buy the game and EA gets the money i dont think EA gives a crap if the street dates is broken, they get the money either way. Except of course from the person who posted this thread

Re: Congratulations???????

Sorry for sounding like a jerk... It's not that I will not pay for games, I just don't like the direction EA was headed with the Madden Franchise, and where they have taken the NCAA franchise.

And who would pay for a game if they could get it for free? Get Real....6 days 9 hours and 53 minutes until Madden 10 release

Re: Congratulations???????

The one situation where they would care about early copies is when they know the game is crap and they're trying to suppress all bad reviews so they can make their money back in the first few days.

I'm not suggesting that has or is happening with madden, just a situation that could occur for a distributor -- they don't want anybody messing with their hype :-)

I believe CompUSA was fined for selling NCAA early one year.
