What? The demo codes we are talking about are for the GameStop preorder orders only. This will include the Cardinals-Steelers 5 minute quarters and it will be available for download 7/23. Yes, there is a demo coming out for everyone that is between the Giants-Cowboys, but will only be 2 minute quarters on 7/30.

I wonder if anyone could help me out.

I live in the UK and I phoned my local Gamestop to be told that the Superbowl demo is a US only promotion.

Do any of you guys know of any way I can get my hands on the extended demo?

Is my only option pre-ordering from Gamestops US webshop and giving my email address? If yes, I need to be sure I can cancel the pre-order after I get my codes because I don't want to wait for the game to be shipped from the states.

Are there any other options for us non-US residents?

Here is what I would do. Create another PSN but make it US based, get an US yahoo or something. Pre-order the game online and get the code. DL it using the US based PSN code. That would work. I have a UK based PSN on my PS3 just incase there is a nice UK based demo I would want.

Great call, thanks!

Just one thing though...why would I have to have a US email account? Could they not just send it to my UK Yahoo address?

BTW I already have a US PSN account so that's taken care of. Just need the darn code!

I really don't feel like reading all of this thread, so can someone quickly clarify this? On Wednesday I can go into Gamestop with my receipt and get a code for the demo? Is that correct?

Yes, but you won't be able to use that code to dl the demo until the 26th.

The codes "coming out" works like this: we get the box with the cards in a shipment from UPS from Wherever Town, USA. What day it shows up is random, and can be anywhere from the earliest day people say it will be there ("codes are out Friday") up until the day that is specifically said to be out. Chances are they will show up Monday or Tuesday with instructions to give them to Madden pre-order customers on Wednesday the 15th.
