In addition to the $100 of paid downloadable content included, the program will continue to offer three day early access to all participating titles and 20 percent off any additional paid downloadable content purchased for the participating titles.* A one-year EA SPORTS Season Ticket subscription is available now for $24.99.

EA SPORTS Season Ticket is available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation®3 consoles in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and North America.* Subscribers in North America will see the first benefit of the program tomorrow (August 24, 2012), as Madden NFL 13 is made available to them three days before the game’s retail release.* Three day early access to Madden NFL 13 for subscribers outside of North America will be available on August 27, 2012.*

It should be operable until like 11PM Monday night. That's WRONG!
It will work all day Monday until midnight so no worries

All help is appreciated:

I'm not sure which 360 I have. Its newer, possibly the "slim". It has a smaller (or no) hard drive (I'm not sure). I think its the SLIM 4GB.

Will I able able to download the actual game through Season Pass without a harddrive?

Thanks!

I think releasing at 5 is a corporate conspiracy so people wouldn't take madden holidays.

Probably not but you might be able to buy more space on cloud. I know you can on iPhone. I'd go for at least 7 gbs.

It's useless after about 5 AM Tuesday morning. Just delete it at that point, because you can't play it.
 
# 95 garrr @ 08/24/12 04:41 PM
oh ok because i was planning on buying madden on the ps3 store so i didnt see the point in having to download it twice, but forget it now lol

I've heard that if you leave the game running you can still play it after the expiration.

Hmm...I tried that once (I believe it was with Madden 12) and I must have gotten signed out at some point. Then when I went to sign back in it locked me out.

I guess if you don't mind leaving your system on for a long time that could work...personally I got over that habit when my 2nd PS3 died.

If I buy the season pass would I have to keep constant Internet connection?

I ask because I do not have Internet in my house so I was going to bring my xbox over a friends house and download it then leave
