Madden NFL 10 Demo to Feature Four - 5 Minute Quarters

Re: Madden Demo - four 5 min quarters!

You are 100 % right. Game stop want you to per order with them so you can get the demo early, then in august you can stand in line for hours with a bunch of dummies waiting for your copy of madden. I made this mistake last year and won't do it again. I am to old to be standing in line with young kids to get a video game, when I could have just went to wal-mart at 12 that same night and picked it up with no lines and no per orders, I know I'll go to wal-mart this year.

LOL I don't get it. Just because you pre-order from them, doesn;t mean you have to stand in line with "kiddies" and get the game from them.

So does this also mean EB Games?

Also it's so ******** that lately for so many games you've had to 'pre-order' to get special things ..

Just give everyone the demo ..

True, since i already threw down 60$ ill get the demo, and then just wait till Aug 14 and pick it up in the AM when they open. lines are overrated..

Oh no! 5 minute quarters, what will EA do? So many people will use this as a substitute for owning the actual game!!! -sarcasm

Yes this also means EB Games, they are both under the same ownership(they are the same store, same promo's all the time.)

Everyone will be getting the demo, just those who pre-order get it before it hits 360/PS3 demo downloads, which is only about a week & a half before.

Want you mean ? you don't get it. so you will per order madden from game stop and not want the game when it comes out at midnight, then why would you per order from game stop, just don't per order and pick it when you feel like it, they won't run out of copies. You miss the whole point why people per order from game stop to get madden that night before everybody else.

Re: Madden Demo - four 5 min quarters!

somehow i think the demo we all get through the XBL/PS store will not have 4 5 minute quarters. probably only 2

Re: Madden Demo - four 5 min quarters!

I'm confused is it going to be on a disc or do you have to enter the code online?

Re: Madden Demo - four 5 min quarters!

IMO it's just a demo. Many of us have decided if were buying the game or not so why not just wait the extra couple weeks for the full game to actually drop.

I never understood the whole preorder at gamestop and get an early demo... it's probably all about the $$$ though.

If they wanted to attract new Madden fans it would make sense to make the demo available ASAP to everyone (this applies to all games). I mean I didn't get hooked on the show till I played the demo and fell in love.

Game stop will send you a email with the code or give it to you in the store, just like they did for fight night round 4, then you enter it in at psn or xbox live then you can play your demo.

Re: Madden Demo - four 5 min quarters!

I didn't have to think twice about this one. I just pre-ordered from gamestop.com, took me a few minutes and didn't cost me a dime. If I change my mind later I'll just switch the pre-order to Modern Warfare.

Remember that 'NFL: In Just One Play' DVD last year that had the Madden 09 demo in it? It was released July 22 and people on this forum were scrambling to get ahold of a copy. This is a "limited time bonus" so no messing around here. My order is in so come July I'll simply pop my code in and play some football.

When you pre-order online you can also choose store pick-up. Here is how to select that option....

How to Use In-Store Pickup
Just add eligible pre-orders to your cart using the "Add to Cart" button. When asked to select a shipping address during the checkout process, you have the option to "Add a Store" to your list of addresses. Entering your Zip code will provide a list of local GameStop locations. Choose a store and it will be added to your address book.

Thank you, you right, people have not played madden 2010 yet and per ordering it for a demo and might not even like the game, but once you open it you can't get your 60 dollars back, so why per order ? All the videos look nice for madden 10, just like madden 09 and madden 09 was disappointing, you never buy a car before you test drive it, so why would you per order a game before you play it ?

Now I agree with you, that's smart what you do, the online thing with game stop. I did not know you could do everything on their website like that, so I understand what you are doing.

So when the demo is out there without pre-ordering the game, you're not going to download it either?

I don't understand your logic at all. So are you saying everyone should rent the game before they buy it? You do know, if you pay $5 to pre-order a game, it goes towards the price of the game correct? It's not an extra $5 bucks. You can pre-order and then if you don't like it, a) put the $5 bucks towards something else b) get your money back.

Going off your logic... getting the demo would be best because you could test drive it before you plop $60 down on it. A demo is for that main reason. So people can see how the game is and decide if they want to buy it or not.

Re: Madden Demo - four 5 min quarters!

Yea I don't get the big deal with pre ordering, you can always move it to another game or just get your money back. I'm definitely pre-ordering to get the demo early.
