Release Head Coach Early!!!!

[Step2001]

Just repeating what I was told by the manager of the gamestop store I called.

Yeah, I know that Corporate will not dish out $59.99 for an plastic sealed Madden. That I just purchased in the CE.

As far as I know both games will be in their own respective case. We'll see on this. I'm going off on what I heard, though I have never purchased a CE pkg.
You may be right!

I've kicked the idea around about purchasing the CE and then dumping Madden on Ebay!

My stance was not to purchase Madden based on being ripped off the last two years.
Purchasing Madden and dumping the game on ebay. Still gives EA a ring up of a purchased Madden.

Another other option is too pick HC off of Ebay when CE buyers put the game up on the auction block.

I'm sliding towards waiting for Sept and getting Head Coach as a stand alone.

Why not make a deal with another customer at your local Gamestop? Find someone who is buying the regular $60 edition, and offer him $5 to buy the CE. You end up paying $35 for HC and all the extra goodies, and he gets Madden for $5 off the regular price. It's a win-win.

Just a thought.

Yeah I have talked to a few of my friends who are buying Madden anyway and told them to get the CE and I would pay them 35 for head coach. They end up paying 5$ less for Madden and I get Head Coach early without paying for Madden.

I wish I could remember where it was, but one of the EA reps definitely said they would not be in their own respective cases. I'm 100% sure that we were told this, though I don't know where it was... may have been Madden forum. I'll try to find it if I have some time.

The CE box actually has sleeves to accomodate several discs. On PS3 you will get 2 discs: Madden and Head Coach. On 360 you will get 3 discs: Madden, Head Coach, and bonus video content disc. The bonus content could actually fix on the game disc for PS3 thanks to blueray capacity.
