[quote name='SMITTYBLAZE']Madden never sells for $40 on release date unless you're buying for PS2. Or if you do some sort of scam. You will likely find a $50 deal, maybe get it on release date for $50 but probably not. The reason Amazon is the best deal is because (1) they dont charge tax and (2) they have the $20 gift card with just about every pre-order ever.
So if you buy this you will be guaranteed $40 brand new games forever. If you want to use the $20 on something else it works because Amazon usually has the best prices.
I know I'm getting Madden from Amazon. I have trade credit from them and then I will maybe get Halo Reach, but definitely getting NHL 10 and NBA 2k10. I'll probably just end up paying $40 for these games FOREVER now.
I told my friend to preorder Madden from Amazon for the same reason but people just don't listen. The kid goes to Gamestop and tells me that he was over there anyway. Well you only need to use the internet for Amazon!
So, I'd recommend Amazon as the best bet, since it's $40 forever after that. Or you can hope for a $50 sale. You won't see $40 for close to two months though.
I've been doing this for almost 5 years now.[/QUOTE]
That's kinda a cool way to look at it. It's like a $40 new release club for only a $20 fee! If I bought more new releases, I would totally do that.
