I think it came out a week before the demo went live to the masses 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.

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.

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.

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

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 ?

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.

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.

You miss the whole point why people per order from game stop to get madden that night before everybody else.

First of all, they do run out of copies, thus, PREORDER. For us old guys who've been playin since before it was on console(was pc only), we do it to ensure we have a copy, pick it up the same day you do, just later. When i was a kid YES! Go to my dorm room, where the fellas were waitin, no class tomorrow, madden, madden, madden. It was our holiday. Makes no since for us now. We don't do it to get it at midnight, we do it so we can get it. GET IT?

So to clear this up if you pre ordered (me) than when should you go to the game stop and acquire your demo?

[swaldo]

If you pre-order online for store pick-up you don't even have to drop the $5.00 up front. You pay in full on release day when you pick it up.

However, if you don't show up withing 48 hours after release, the terms state Gamestop online will charge you a $5.00 re-stocking fee (that's why you have to enter your credit card number.) So basically make sure you cancel or switch before that time.

It just states "Late July." Last year it was July 22 so I'll guess it will be around the same time this year. And you're not acquiring a demo in the store, they will give you a card with a code on it.
