Madden NFL 10 GameStop Pre-Order Demo Codes Available July 15th (Destructoid)

So is it possible for me to get the demo code, DL the demo and then cancel my pre-order and get my $5 back?

if you preorder online you don't have to pony up the $5. you print out a confirmation of your preorder and they either send you an email or you go in to GS and show your preorder confirmation and get the code card. if you don't cancel your preorder though, two days after not picking up your game they will charge your card $5.

I'm not 100% sure but i think Gs would let you do that, you might have to put that 5 toward another game or something like that.

Unfortunately I did not come to OS before trying to redeem my code:

1. Pre-ordered and received card with download code
2. Card says NOTHING about when demo is available to download
3. Gamestop emloyees said NOTHING about when demo is available to download
4. Naturally I assumed that since they gave me a card with demo code that I could go home and use it right away
5. Demo code gives error message when entered
6. I call Gamestop and they have "no idea" why code isn't working, they tell me to call Sony with any tech problems I am having
7. I call Sony and they say demo for MAdden 2010 not on Sony servers at this time
8. I call Gamestop back and tell them what Sony said and I ask them "is the demo available now and if not, then when?" They still don't have a clue and tell me it should be out now.
9. I decide to go to OS when I get home (to see if OSers can shed some light on the situation). Thus I find out by reading this thread that the demo is not avaialble until 23rd and that by prematurely entering my code I may have voided it.
10. To be continued

Moron list:

1. Gamestop for not knowing when download is available.
2. EA for NOT printing the availability date of the demo (or warning for premature download attempt) ON THE FREAKIN' TWO-SIDED VOUCHER CARD!!!
3. Me for not being on OS lately, 'cause if I had I would have known about the avaiability date before I even went down to Gamestop to preorder

Im sure alot of people tried to enter codes already. its weird i preordered online and in the email it says not to enter but ppl say there is no date listed on the cards. lol i bet gamestop and EA will just say "oops my bad, have fun playing the public demo."
