I had plans with my friend to pick it up at midnight and play all night because we were so amped up. Then my ps3 broke. Then the midnight release didn't even occur after all. Bad luck I guess.
Or my ps3 hates madden.

Here is my story: First of all, I live in probably the most crooked town ever with a cycle of new young policemen that are trying to establish themselves in our city. Well me and a guy probably in his late 50's were sitting outside the store waiting (it was just me and him because college football is 100X more popular in our area). Well me and him were talking and everything when this Barney Five wannabe for the city drives up and asks what we're doing and he doesn't believe us when we tell him. So he asks for our ID's and i show him mine and the older guy refuses. He slaps the cuffs on the guy and is doing his rights or whatever and the older guy asks him to check his wallet in his back pocket. The officer does so and it turns out he is the head cheese for the county. I was laughing so hard at that kid apologizing and asking the man not to report him. Bottom line i figured something else may have happened somewhere else so i was curious.

what ethnicity are u and this gentleman u were with? I'm curious

Same here,I'm really hoping they have one or I'm suing for false advertisement haha but,seriously I'm hoping he wasn't lying because I already preordered mine at gamestop

How long do you think a midnight release would take if there are like 2 or 3 other gamestops in like a 5 mile radius?

im guessing probably not long unless alot of people prefer the one your going to.

Just because it is 3 Gamestops in one area don't automatically mean ALL 3 are doing a midnight release. I didn't even bother going to a midnight release because where I live, in a 5 mile area there is 4 Gamestops, Best Buy, Walmart, Kmart, Meijers, Costco, Sears, Toys R Us, 2 Radio Shacks and a Game Crazy.

So I know there will be many copies left for me to get in the afternoon.

I live in PA and went to Game Crazy to pick my copy up. Got there around 11pm and the place was packed! Probally close to 100 people there. They had Tournaments going on for PS3 and Xbox 360. I bought the game for Wii and got the Strategy Guide for 50% off. Figured for $10 wth. I traded in MLB 2K9 tonight towards credit for Madden.
