People who are planning on Pre-ordering madden

u sure about that. Games do usually come on tuesday, but it says it doesnt ship until the 9th? how could the stores get it before that?

I know our district ordered the games same day shipping and the managers r gonna head to the distribution center when the shipment comes in and then turn around and start selling them that night. plus the ship dates online r for regular customers not the actual stores cuz sometimes the stores get games 2-3 days before they start shipping to individual customers.

This is what I heard. Apparently EA Sports have some sort of arrangement where EA ships their copies to EB a few days earlier. This way, people who pre-ordered madden online will actually get the game on the 9th, with the overnight delivery option. I found this info on www.maddennation.com. It's a madden forum site.

that is awesome, even better. Now i can have it on the 9th, take a break during teh skins game, then back to gaming. I only have to go saturday and sunday without my girlfriend and amdden, then ill atelast have madden.

Glad it worked for you guys. Hopefully we will get it on the 9th.

I did the overnight option to my local store, I've heard it gives you the best chance at getting it early. Who knows, guess I'll see.

im sure as s oon as someone gets a copy there will be plenty to be said on the board.

For people who did the pre-order, my status changed to "open," which means it's about to be shipped, if not today, then tomorrow. My credit card was also charged.

from ebgames? ill have to check mine now

yea it says open for mine, and says that means
"For pre-order/backorder items: Order will be processed when item arrives. "

So I dont think it really means anything. Doesnt mean they have it yet. I hope they do but I doubt it. When do EB games get madden? Does the 9th mean the day when ea sports ships it out?

I read on another forum that EB gets copies of madden before other stores, and people who pre-order it online get it a day before everyone else. Don't know how accurate that is. Yeah, EA is supposed to ship it the 9th. Someone also said when they charge your credit card and change the status to open, it is getting ready to ship. Again, don't know how accurate this is. Was your card charged?

I received an email today saying my order is confirmed, but it didn't give a ship date or expected arrival.
