MUT, Online pass, purchasing direct downloads vs disc copies all can bring in revenue that doesn't get counted on VGchartz. But then, customer reviews on sites like Amazon are giving Madden 13 2 stars. I can easily believe sales are down from last year if that is truly the case. At the other end of the revenues, EA's spending costs on Madden seem more this year. I feel like EA has been advertising Madden 13 a lot more than past Madden's. At least I've seen a lot more commercials than past years. They have also doubled the size of the development team this year. And with release day prices at $45, now at $40 and free with SI offers, EA isn't making $59.99 per sale this year, that much is certain. All that to say, who knows if Madden is making less money or not. I know I picked the game up out of redbox, kept it for 2 days and haven't missed it since. I'm privately hoping sales are down and the exclusive deal ends this time around, but it's a complete mystery to me how things are going at EA.

That's a good deal too!..If you like SI and you get M13 and a NFL DVD. I say this is pretty good.

Not really a win win. I think EA would rather you buy a new copy instead of a used one where they only get $10.00 instead of whatever they make off a new one

I pre-ordered mine from Amazon with the $15.00 credit, I spent the credit so what do they do if I buy one today for 39.99 and then return it as the pre-ordered copy? Do they take the $15.00 off the total for the return? or do they just give me my $59.99 back

I would guess they would return the 40

They actually told me I would get my $59.99 back even though I used my $15 credit

Back up to $53, EA must have hit there needed quota, lol. There will be more of these low prices in the next few months.

Even if they get 5 million unit sales this year and reach madden 12, most will be off lower prices then $60. Hope the NFL takes note, EA is killing off football gaming slowly but surely. 10 million sales down to 5 million, this year maybe less. Unbelievable.

Judging by the way they are handling their referee situation, I doubt they really care.....
