GameStop deal on madden 25

[Molarmite]

I can confirm this deal. Went into my GameStop, talked with a guy that seemed to know what was going on. He said they had a received an email explaining this whole deal and that it was going on. As for the 30 days thing, he said you must upgrade within 30 days of XboxOne launch. Not buy the game within 30 days before XOne launches. He said they will send you a coupon in the mail giving you the $50 trade in value and it must be redeemed 30 days after the console launches. So that's very good news I think, definitely will buy both now.

No you read it wrong. Only other catch is you have to be a Power-Up Rewards member

This is a quote from the writer
"The current-gen version of the game has to be purchased in the initial 30 days of the game launch, not within 30 days of the PS4/XB1 launch. From there, customers have until the end of 2013 to redeem it for credit toward the next-gen version." -Matt Liparota

I'm pretty sure you are right, here is the press release from GameStop's website:

http://news.gamestop.com/press-relea...box-one-video-

It says "To qualify for this offer, a customer must be a PowerUp Rewards member at the time they purchase a new eligible Xbox 360 title(s) within 30 days of its initial release and then trade that game at any U.S. GameStop location for the new Xbox One standard version of that same game."

Sounds like this MAY BE a Microsoft and EA exclusive, as the article above does not mention the Sony version. Hope that's not the case, as I'm getting a PS4, but I remember there being a sort of "partnership" between EA and MS.

It might be a MS exclusive, but not EA. Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed are eligible in addition to the 3 EA games.

so i went to gamestop friday evening, and i asked a rep there, he looked it up on his email on his comp to make sure of this. this is the fact of what he told me. he said as of right now, this deal is only for xbox360 and xbox 1 versions of madden , and the other games mentioned in this article http://stickskills.com/2013/08/07/ga...ext-gen-title/
. in this article it claims its for xbox and ps3 versions, however the guy at gamestop told me it is ONLY for xbox360 - xbox 1 versions. that it was a MS exclusive . he said Sony may do one as well but at this time , they have no info at all on a deal like this that Sony is doing. so this is just a post to clear this up . this is a real offer, but only for xbox360 going towards xbox1 version of the game. which sucks! but i expect Sont to match this offer, if they have any sense at all.

Well...it makes since for Sony to step up in a similar way to further intice console owners of current gen to stick with their brand but pretty lame for those of us moving from PS3/XBOXONE or 360/PS4
