[quote name='hall31']Games have usually arrived on their release date in my case if overnight has been selected, so I think you'll get it on day 1 with this option as well.
I've also contacted Amazon regarding the "Release-date Delivery" and recieved this as a response:
"Hello from Amazon.com.
I'm sorry to learn that you are unable to place the order using Release-Date Delivery shipping option.
I've checked the product detail page of this item "Madden NFL 10" on Amazon.com, and it appears the item is not currently eligible for Release-Date Delivery shipping option.
We only offer the Release-Date Delivery option when we know we can get the item from our suppliers in time to meet our delivery promise to you. It is possible that this item will become eligible as the release date gets closer and we've confirmed our inventory.
At this time, I can only suggest that you check back on Amazon.com at a later time."
I've responded with a link to their "Release-date delivery" sub-category, so they can hopefully figure this all out. I'll let you all know if I have any luck so you can follow-up with them if needed.[/QUOTE]
I got a very similar response:
Hello from Amazon.com.
Thanks for asking if "Madden NFL 10" is eligible for Release-Date Delivery. I've checked the product detail page on Amazon.com, and it appears the item is currently eligible for this shipping option.
You can find it here:

If you do not see the Release-Date Delivery option available during checkout, it is because the shipping address you selected is not eligible. We will only offer this shipping option when we know that our available carriers can meet our delivery promise for the address you choose.
Addresses must meet the conditions below:
-- Applies only to orders shipped to addresses within the lower 48 United States. Orders shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and international destinations will be delivered after the release date.
-- Does not apply to PO Boxes or APO/FPO addresses.
We display Release-Date Delivery eligibility on the item detail page based on the default shipping address on your account. If you are not logged into your account or your default shipping address is ineligible for this delivery method, you might not see the option on the item detail page. Please log into your Amazon.com account and try an alternate shipping address during checkout if the option still does not appear on the item detail page.
