My GS store called me. I called yesterday to make sure my email was updated and they told me that there not emailing it that we have to go up there and that they would have it friday. Well they called me today early and I went up there on my lunch break to get it.

My GS is getting them in tomorrow.

Still waiting for my online pre-order code...

Don't know if this has been mentioned in the 30 pages that this thread has, but GameStop also says if you reserve (not preorder) the game, you also get the demo code. From the GameStop Madden listing:

Reserve Madden NFL 10 and receive the GameStop exclusive Super Bowl XLIII rematch demo with full length quarters. The demo will feature four 5-minute quarters between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals. Available for online and in-store customers while supplies last.

Online / In-Store Pickup Customers: Code and download instructions will be email beginning in late July.

Store Customers: A rave card containing a code and download instructions will be available in store beginning in late July.

It was a driving force behind me reserving the game for $5. I thought I had misread and that only by preordering do you get a demo, but in fact it is reserving as well.

Now, I'll have to call up my local GameStop and see what's up.

# 267 myownsun @ 07/16/09 04:15 PM

Yeah i only put 5 down and got my code with no problem.

# 268 slickdtc @ 07/16/09 04:20 PM

Just called, guy said he doesn't have the codes in yet.

I don't know how much I trust GameStop anyway. The last time I called them and asked if they had a game in stock, they put me on hold... for 20 minutes. They never got back on, I just ended the call. Nice customer service, it's not like I was asking some crazy question either...

It seems that the consensus will be it will be out tomorrow. If not, I will call the store I registered in. If they have them in store, I will try to convince them in giving me a code then and there.

# 272 Matt Diesel @ 07/16/09 05:03 PM

This is poor planning by EA. Next year they should have codes ready to give out on a predetermined reserve date. That way, anyone who reserves the game from that date (say the NFL rookie draft date) gets the code when they go in there.

# 273 Spongedaddy @ 07/16/09 05:40 PM

My Gamestop said the codes will be sent by email only????

# 274 JRthaTruth @ 07/16/09 05:44 PM

i just went by my local gamestop where i have it preordered...im in Louisiana by the way...they received the xbox 360 codes...but no ps3 codes yet but they received 13 boxes of stock so hopefully the ps3 codes are there.. the manager told me to check back at 8:30

# 275 BroMontana82 @ 07/16/09 06:02 PM

just called mine again and they said they would have them tomorrow and to come by with my receipt to show proof that i pre-ordered...they won't email it.

This promotion is designed to give GameStop some of your money off the bat by luring you with the CHANCE to play the demo. IMO if you give GameStop some money up front you should get the demo . . . period, not a chance at.

If for some reason you put money up front and don't get the demo, get your money back and buy Madden on release day from another store. That's what I'll be doing, that is of course if I choose to buy on release day depending on whether I enjoy the 1 minute quarter demo . . .

# 277 SoMiss2000 @ 07/16/09 07:47 PM

for my 28,000th post...lol

my girl bought NCAA for me yesterday. She told me today that they gave her a card for the Madden demo but it won't be available til the 23rd.

# 278 marshallfever @ 07/16/09 08:06 PM

That July 15 date isn't very accurate, jsut called the gamestop where i resevered it and the guy said next week. That's not bad for since i'm off till monday anyway; since i work in the Mall where i reserved the copy of the game

# 279 radatdude2 @ 07/16/09 08:31 PM

my game stop in CT acted as if they didn't know what was going on but advised that the code would be emailed ?!

Im getting Madden from a different store regardless if i get the code or not. Once i get the code, im going to cancel the pre order and get my $5 back.

Then when the game comes out at midnight, i will go to Wal-Mart and get it there because there wont be tennie boppers and huge lines everywhere.
