Madden on Newegg

[bbell447]

For those of you who already ordered, could you share with me how much it was for the overnight shipping and all that jazz? I would ideally like the game mid-day tomorrow and I'm not sure what exactly I should get. I've never personally ordered from the site so I'm curious

In general, if you do an overnight order; it normally takes 24hrs to process your order. Then it takes another 24hrs for the package to make it to it's destination and then all depends on when it's delivered. Don't rush, wait until patch. I heard if you do man press coverage you can shut down the WR on the right side every time. It's a glitch that's getting fixed. Why rush for it?

I didn't place an order, but I checked it out and overnight was 20 bucks for me. 20 bucks wasn't worth having the game a couple days early... not by a long shot.

People are stupid sometimes. Why pay $82.78 for a game that's coming out on Friday? You're basically paying $20 to play one week. EA is very wrong for what they're doing. They need to stop these early sales. They're screwing over gamestop. GS is by the book and will never release the game before it's date. The gamestop by my house had over 50% of their pre orders canceled in the past week. These mom and pop shops are selling early and screwing business. Maybe I should call myself a business and get early games to sell on Ebay for overnight delivery.

That's how much overnight is on Newegg?

No, actually its around ~$19.80 for UPS overnight.

Edit: the overnight shipping is around that price, on top of the $54.99 for the game

Wait, because Newegg.com sells the game early, this is EA's fault? I might've missed something, but I believe EA isn't telling Newegg.com to start selling the game. Retailers are breaking the street date, and that's on them, not EA. For a mom/pop shop that sells early, they can lose their ability to carry the game in the future.
