    Anyone received SI offer copy?

    I signed up for 6 months of Sports Illustrated that was to include a copy of Madden '10 and a John Madden DVD or something similar. I signed up for the offer a few days before the game was released and have yet to receive my copy of the game.

    I did, however, receive the first copy of S.I. yesterday. Has anybody received their copy of Madden '10 through Sports Illustrated's offer? If so, please post and let us know.

    I thought this would happen...it was a sweet deal from what I saw, but it seems most (if not all) who purchased have not received their copy of the game yet. In the end, you still got a sweet deal. But in the meantime, it sucks to have to continue to wait.

      I ordered it too...I emailed SI customer support and they told me EA told them it was on backorder and didnt supply them with the game until this week. Then I got a follow up email from them that games are shipped this week and to expect it w/in 10 days.
      If I had known it would be 3 weeks after release, I never would have signed up. Bummer.

        You may not get it for weeks. S.I. can careless WHEN you get the game, you may have to wait another few weeks. This is the reason why many people including myself did not take up this deal.

          i warned you all in one of the multiple threads posted about this offer.. it IS a good deal but i knew it would take around 1-2 months after the game came out for SI to actually get the game to ya..i know this first hand from past experiences with similar offers

            I haven't got mine either, but I don't mind the wait because I don't play until I can get opening week rosters anyway.

              Yep I didn't get it either. Sort of sucks since there's NOTHING to play right now.

                  Don't have mine either. But I knew I wouldnt play right away because of rosters, etc. I hadnt bought a brand new Madden since '05 but this was a sweet deal.

                  They gave me my account # today & told me to expect mine during 1st week of Sept so I'm expecting it within 7 days. I placed my order on Aug 13. 3 weeks after release date is not that bad considering the deal.

                        I got mine in the mail today (Monday, August 31st). I ordered the SI about a week and a half before Madden debuted. Assuming they mailed it out a few days after that Friday, it took about two weeks.

                        For some reason, I didn't get the Madden video yet...not that I was going to watch it any way.

                        Regardless, keep an eye on your mailboxes if you did the deal!

                        P.S. For everyone who thought it would be a good idea to buy another copy at a store and return this wrapped copy, you might be out of luck. The game has a "Not For Resale" sticker under the cellophane.

                          Sports Illustrated is a great magazine, but their marketing and promotional distribution departments are a bunch of fascist liars.

                          Good luck getting anything from them.


                          I'm still waiting for my free Football Phone and Hall of Fame DVD from 7 years ago LOL.


                          The magazines showed up on time though. I guess that's something.

                          I will never take SI up on anything ever again.

                            My copy was mailed out last Friday (29th). I'm hoping to get it for this weekend. I better have it before the season starts and I will probably never do a deal like this again. I didn't need to have it right away but this wait has been too long. SI was completely unprepared for the amount of people who signed up and I'm not impressed.

                              got mine today. Ordered it the day before release. I can live with that. The important thing is to put it in your calendar to call next January and cancel your renewal. Otherwise it auto-renews at full price.

                              Overall, worth the wait for me.
