Get Up To $35 Towards Madden NFL 15 By Trading in Madden NFL 25 at Best Buy 8/10-8/16

You guys might want to clarify in the first post it's only up to $25 trade for 360 or PS3.

Digital means you buy the game on the Playstation Store or Xbox Marketplace, and download it directly to your system. No disk is involved, the full game is just saved onto your Xbox and able to be played, similar to how demos work. Although due to trade-in offers like this one where you get $35 for trading in Madden 25, it is difficult to justify. If they made the price of the digital download less than a disc copy, then it would be interesting. I feel like it almost should be cheaper to buy the digital version since you aren't getting a disc, packaging, no cost of shipping it to a retailer, etc. I know discs and packaging are fairly cheap to produce, but the work of burning the game onto the disc, putting together the packaging, etc that is saved would at least equal a little bit of money. Added to that, I'm not sure what the wholesale price of the game is for retailers, but EA makes more money off the digital download anyway, since they get the entire $60 I believe (I don't think Microsoft or Sony gets royalties, but I'm not sure), not just the wholesale price.

You better believe Microsoft and Sony get their royalties off digital downloads, same exact royalties as store distribution.

Whew. Glad I started getting into Madden 25 when the trade in price was $19 @ Best Buy, early June or so, because I almost traded it in. Took me a long time to really start playing it but next week, it goes in.

Does anyone know if this applies to the Ultimate Edition as well?

If it does I'll be cancelling my Gamestop Preorder (I only preordered from them because they had the free $15 of MUT content and now that it appears every store will offer that I will definitely go for the cheaper option).

It would be awesome if we could stack the trade-ins because I have the PS3 and PS4 versions of Madden 25.

I think I saw the target deal for buying a PS4 was $35 off 1 year of Playstation Plus (required for online play on PS4), whereas Best Buy is $10 off. Not sure what other places have. I also saw Sam's Club has PS4's at $350 right now as well.

Thank you, but I cant get broadband where I live, so that doesn't matter to me. I'll get it at Best Buy so I can use my credit card and get 18 months no interest.

Meh, I sold M25, FIFA 15 & BF4 all for $30 each. Then I got that EA Access for $30 which just gave me those games again and I still have $60. Buy Madden 15 at retail and then sell it for $30 come next April/May and re-sub to EA Access and get M15 digital for free.

Probably going to buy a copy of Xbox One madden 25 on ebay for like $12 and take it straight to Best Buy for my $35 towards M15.
