itll be up by 9 o clock maybe earlier. i think itll go up earlier, they just say 9 o clock just in case they have some problems or somethin. and it makes them look better if they put something out before the time they say cuz then it makes people happier. If they said at noon, but it went up at one in the afternoon, people would be mad lol

Doesn't look like I'll be getting one. Any chance of getting one after the private demo releases?

# 604 JB0B0 @ 07/22/09 07:35 PM

my gamestop still doesn't have it. every other gamestop in the area has it though...I'm about to go on a rampage

# 605 Kevin26385 @ 07/22/09 07:37 PM

why not? i just went and got another for someone at my store. i walk in and ask for the madden demo code. the guy said sure and hands it to me. no questions asked. didn't show him my receipt, didn't even mention the word "pre-order." if you can get to any gamestop, just ask. seems to be working a lot for people.

I really doubt your code would be screwed up, but I have to ask...why do you even enter the code when you know the demo isn't up?

I pre-ordered online for the 360 version and wanted to see if I could scam a PS3 version from my local Gamestop. I thought this might help me make a decision on which console to purchase for if I end up buying Madden 10.

I printed my online receipt and had it ready when I asked the clerk for a PS3 code. He asked me if I pre-ordered it and I said yes. He went to his computer to ring up my info but I stopped him stating I have the receipt with me. I showed it to him making sure to cover the part where it said "XBOX 360" and pointed to the area where it showed the in-store pick-up address. He said "OK, here you go" and hands me the code.

When I got home I wondered why the demo card was so thick and why is it wrapped in plastic? So I cut open the plastic and there were 5 demo codes in it! Heh. I already gave out the extra codes to people asking for one - gotta help out my fellow OS'ers. And to the 5 poor souls I screwed out of a code in my town - enjoy your coin flip & kickoff practice playing 1 minute quarters!

The whole point of this is to check your code - if it's wrapped in plastic crack that baby open.

# 610 BroMontana82 @ 07/22/09 08:36 PM

you really gotta appreciate how clueless some of these gamestop people are. seriously, what a joke this entire code thing is...

# 611 Blaz3DRa1n @ 07/22/09 08:42 PM

idk once i got it i didnt kno wen to put the code in cuz i was so eager 2 play

# 612 yh006866 @ 07/22/09 08:48 PM

If any one has extra xbox code
then please pm me

thanks

# 613 BigPoppa17211 @ 07/22/09 08:51 PM

Sorry if this has been asked in an earlier post (not reading 65+ pages), but does anyone in Canada have a code yet?

I've checked a couple different EB Games and the all look at me like i have 2 heads or something.

Just wondering if we are able to get the codes as well. Thanks.

If where you live is Mountain time, yes. I dunno if parts of Arizona are Pacific time zone... doubtful.

EST = 9:00
CST = 8:00
MNT = 7:00
PST = 6:00

# 615 Kevin26385 @ 07/22/09 08:55 PM

I realize not everyone will have the Gamestop demo tomorrow so I will be recording a full game to show off to everyone.

Also why do people think its coming out at an exact time..It says BY 9 PM EST doesn't it? It could come out at anytime tomorrow

You know I am curious, while reading some of the threads, I noticed that some people received a pack with five codes listed. I wonder if the people in the store were to open each pack and give 1 set of codes per person. This maybe the reason for some people not receiving theirs. I am just curious. I did not order the game from gamestop not that I never shopped there but I am a patient person and can wait until aug the 14th for the game to ship. I guess I am putting off my worst fear that the game will bomb? besides the online demo with one minute quarters will be just a snack especially since it is the Cowboys vs. Giants.
I am hoping that the GS demo does work because all of the os guys will be able to give some feedback about the experiance with the game.

I've given away my last PS3 demo code, if anyone else was interested, sorry.

# 618 HolyCrap @ 07/22/09 09:05 PM

i have 4 extra codes for PS3 if anyone needs one just PM me

# 619 NorrinRadd12 @ 07/22/09 09:05 PM

Buying the game at Best Buy with a gift card. If anyone has an extra 360 code it will be much appreciated. PM me.

# 620 swaldo @ 07/22/09 09:09 PM

In Gamestop's defense the fact that there were 5 codes wrapped in one card was not immediately obvious. I was expecting a card with a demo code on it and had to do a double take. It was like "Why would EA spend so much money on such thick, fancy demo cards with each being individually wrapped?"

Looking close at the thickness of the card it appeared there may be something inside. I thought it would be info about the game or maybe a control guide. When I opened the plastic to find 5 codes I thought "Wow! How many people are going to get screwed out of a code because of this? How many Gamestop employees are handing out 5 codes thinking it's only 1 - and how many customers only think they have 1 code and not 5."

Eh...well at least I'm set to go. I just wish I knew exactly what time to order the pizza.
