I paid $40.00 ($59.99 w/ $20 rebate card) to pre-order Madden 11 from Wal-mart because it supposedly is guaranteed to be delivered on release day and it had the rebate.

I'm seeing people spending well over $100 for this game to get it 2 or 3 days early.

I'm just wondering who paid the MOST for this game.... I just saw an ebay auction of PS3 copy go for $130 shipping included. I don't understand why these people are going that far over retail price for a game that will be released in less than a week.

***Someone paid $234 ..... info in post #45***

$39.12 plus $20 off toward a future game purchase which I'll use to buy Ghostbusters or something.

How did you get a $20 rebate? I'm getting mine at Wal-Mart and all they are offering is a $5 rebate card.

Well sadly I'm paying 65 bucks for my copy. I don't really want to wait a extra day for walmart to deliver it to me. So I just go ahead pay the full price for it and get it at the midnight release.

$95 w/overnight shipping. To get it early of course (by one week).

Oh well

Oh and I like to get my copy early and don't mind paying extra for the following reasons:

1. I am impatient and want to play it now, not a week from now.
2. I make good money so it's not an issue to pay a bit more for football games to get them sooner.
3. I enjoy sharing my impressions with the community here at OS for those who don't have the ability or inclination to get it early.
4. I know it's childish but I enjoy breaking EA's embargo on impressions (heh heh) even though in reality people like myself buying it early and doing so usually is just going to feed into the EA hype machine, helping them in the end.

And finally...

5. The thrill of the hunt and the taboo of owning something you're not allowed to own
