So those that get Madden only will be handicapped by the lack of a playbook creator? Thats pure BS if true!! I cant see buying 3,4 football games this year...Shyt I can barely get alot of play out of 2...

Furthering the example, does anyone think Crackdown would have been so "successful" if it didn't include a key to the Halo 3 beta? Probably a million people bought that crap game just to get the beta key.

Is the Halo 3 special edition is the only version I can buy?

Ummm...how about the fact that you just paid $90 for Head Coach, when if it was released seperately, it should have been no more than $60?

Sure you could say that you will get $30ish back in credit for Madden, but there is no guarantee that you can trade it in. You won't have a box for Madden, if you want to keep it for Head Coach, or Gamestop might not except it as a trade-in without Head Coach included, since it is technically incomplete.
