$20 shock

Pretty sure you could buy several copies of these games and trade them at Gamestop to get more.

Maybe.

Amazon is only giving $12 credit according to CheapAssGamer, so I doubt Gamestop is giving more than the $20, probably not even more than the $12.

So, get the $10 and make a $2 profit...

Gamestop probably treats HoF and regular editions the same anyway.

Either way, this is a great deal if you're just getting M12. With the HoF you have enough great players to get the 80 rated Madden Ultimate Team achievement smile

Yeah, I found this out today. We are setting up a table with all our copies in the hopes of selling out. If anyone gets the @Gamer magazine, there's a coupon for $20 off NCAA '12 as well this month. (I work in the gaming department of Best Buy if anyone has questions.)

No, they'd treat them differently, I'm sure. They never treat two differently-priced versions of the same game the same way. That is also assuming they'd even give the $12. That figure was for the Hall of Fame Edition.

I agree it's a great deal for folks looking for an easy completion or who aren't big football fans. I'm still one of the suckers who buys it on release day every year. I love it though.

Since a new one gets released every year, previous versions should get an automatic price drop- like this one. laugh

To be fair, the online pass isn't said to be payment for the servers, it's to combat used game sales. Whether or not you still find that to be unjustified is another matter.

EA MMA had an online pass and the servers went under within 17 months in spite of ppl actually playing online in that game. passes dont have much to do with paying for a games server even though that trick has been used but as Penny said it is indeed used to prevent the game being bought used.
