I received my bundle with Titanfall. I will tell you, Ive about had it with Titanfall but it would sure be nice to turn the physical copy into gamestop or sell on ebay right about now. Instead I just have a digital uploaded game that sits in my system.

Which is why i avoid digital. Owned Titanfall for about 2 weeks.

I will always prefer physical simply because you will always be able to sell it back. I feel like waiting 5-10 minutes in line at midnight is worth it to be able to get 15$ off the next version. Also while you mention the game is tied to your account and can always re download it, what happens when I want to make another account because I don't like my psn name anymore or when I want to make another gamertag because I want to challenge myself and try to get to the top of the leaderboards of a game on 2 separate accounts. I would have to purchase another copy. Also if I were to get a digital copy I wouldn't be able to trade games with my friends for a week. Idk I know it's my opinion but I would love to see someone tell me the benefit of buying a digital copy other than saving gas and time by not driving to the store.

You guys are overlooking the fact that the kinect is not part of the bundle. XBone without the kinect is a boring system.

I decided it was time to transition to Xbox One and the Madden 15 bundle was like an answer to my prayers!

How long it takes to download depends on your internet package and your connection. And it takes up the same amount of space as a disc copy. Even with your disc copy you can't play right away because it has to install enough of the game to boot up.

While I have appreciation for the physical disc: I can agree with this approach to go digital in the package bundle of console + game.

The game company may need to pay a fee to have the game bundled and if it is a physical copy: It kills the incentive to play the game since you could trade it in for a different game or in-store credit. In this scenario a new Madden gamer might atleast try Madden since he has no option to sell it; unless he sells the code?

I would like to eventualy see a market for digital trade in value.

Hey, for the guys that rather have the 'physical copy,' could you please purchase the bundle, grab that 'physical copy and just send me the code? Let me know so we can workout the technicalities.

I think its a great deal...

The ultimate ripoff/waste of money. An Xbox One AND Madden!?!? Nah I'm just playing. This is dope for those interested.

We all know who the leader of the digital parade is.

They could at least start making digital copies cheaper as an incentive to buy, since you know they don't have to pay to have anything boxed and shipped.

# 33 HoundsOfHowl @ 08/05/14 09:34 AM

The people who buy the bundle it'll take probably 2-4 hours pending on connectivity to play. Because you have to set up Xbox and then download madden.

But my only complaint right now with digital copies is there's no reward to having them except for ease of switching games.

You can't trade, nor are they any cheaper.

If the gaming industry wants to hurt gamestop and other companies they need to make the digital copies 20$ cheaper. That will honestly stake trading in the chest.

I mean hell I'll give $40 for a digital I can't trade, but I'm damn sure not giving $60 for one.

I would even do $60 if they'll make digital copies be able to be sold back. All it would do it take away your code from you being owner of it and you'd get refunded a certain amount of money.

Does anyone know how long this offer will last???? Im planning on getting an xbox one (w no kinect) in october and i would punch myself in the face if i missed this opportunity

it doesn't really matter cause there aren't THAT many exclusives, so madden should be the exact same game on both consoles

Ummm...... no it doesn't. The digital copy has the ENTIRE GAME saved to the hard drive while the physical copy just has saves and patches saved to the hard drive.

Ummmm actually your wrong. This gen games do not play off the disc, they play off the HDD. This is already known and have been stated by both Sony and Microsoft. The disc is there more for security check. The entire game has to install to the HDD to play the complete game. Go look at your system storage and see for yourself. That's why you only get to play part of the game until the complete game installs to the HDD.

Yeah like things not video game related. That other stuff doesn't really matter to me,yeah its little convenient but at the end of the day the tv controller(I have a smart tv) is in my hand and all I have to do is press a button to switch back to live tv. So thats pennies Annie stuff that really dont matter and thats about the only thing the Xbox1 does better

# 39 Robcards @ 08/05/14 07:28 PM

Good deal IMO, was planning on going Xbox ONE for FIFA and NHL anyway, now I get a free Madden. Nice.

But the PS4 is better in everything else, especially game performance, and since it's a game machine I can forgive it not having the best interface and other side bells and whistles. The touchpad is cool and hearing voices/sounds coming out of your controller is nuts; it's very "now". What I wonder about is if EA/Tiburon will be adding voice commands to the PS4 version of Madden at some point, or is their deal with EA going to keep that strictly an XBOX exclusive feature. I wasn't a fan of this before, but after using voice commands on my PS4, I've changed my view.

The PS4 is a more powerful machine, but the best looking game is on the Xbox One.

I could only wish that Madden 15 for either console, would win the award seen in the above article...
