You don't have to pre-order to get your hands on a demo. You have the option to wait until 7/30 I believe :P

Whats the big complaint? Go in, drop $5 and give them your e-mail addy. If you don't like the game, then go in and CHANGE your pre-order to something else.

Some gamestops even give your money back to you, just make sure you pay with cash. If they ask why, tell them "none ya"

I actually read somewhere that you could potentially pre-order Madden 10 online and then get the code then perhaps say "nah, I don't want it" and return it but keep the working demo. Not sure how legit this is but potentially a loophole.

So, is it to late to pre order this game online and still get the demo codes through email?

It's not a loophole. Gamestop has no problem with you cancelling a pre-order at anytime for any reason. Nothing shady happening here.

I frequently pre-order with Gamestop to get into betas and end up cancelling because the game either wasn't as good as I thought, or just because I found another smaller store that was selling the game a week before street date, which Gamestop can't do.

That will most likely happen again as I have pre-ordered Madden at gamestop and will most likely get it before street date from someone else.

You do have to pre-oder to get the Gamestop exclusive demo which features 5min quarters and the Steelers and Cardinals. The other demo that you can download from PSN or Live features the Giants (da Geeeeeeeee-Men lol) and the Cowboys in 2min quarters.

I pre-ordered at gamestop, but I will also download the Giants' demo as well. That's right I said Giants' demo lol! Want to get as good an idea about the game as possible before I plunk down 60.
