Best deal for Madden 2004?

[Trelach24]

So far, looking through this week's ads I saw:

Target giving away some cheetohs and a 2 litre of Pepsi with Madden 2004 :lol:

Best Buy offering $10 any greatest hits title for XBox, PS2, or GC with Madden 2004

Circuit City offering a $10 gift card instantly with Madden 2004

Obviously the Circuit City deal is the best unless you're REALLY hungry. But they advertise as getting it on Thursday while Best Buy advertises getting it in Wednesday at noon.

Any other deals out there. I'm going to go for the Circuit City deal and use the $10 towards the online adapter.

Someone at maddenmania.com posted that they got Madden 2004 at Circuit City on Saturday (8/9). This was a Miami area store.

There's a word we won't hear you say much in the Bombdrop league. At least when you're playing Tampa Bay. -ptth-

I traded in NCAA 2004, Nba Street & Madden 2003 and payed 11 bucks for Madden 2004..I'm hoping I don't miss NCAA, but I can't own 2 football games...

You traded WAY too much. NCAA alone should have gotten you within $12 of Madden. Street and Madden '03 are probably $5-7 each, I would make sure and never visit that store again. EB is running a special for Madden as an extra $5 per title towards it.

Anyone see any deals for the PC version of madden? Haven't seen any mention of it in any of the ads :(

I'm sure that copy of NCAA 2004 is sitting on the shelves with a price of $45 now.

54-12=42...i don't think any major store will give you 42 for a used game they're selling for 45, the most i've gotten for a game was 35 at a small mom & pop place in queens..

I have seen $37 for trade when Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon both came out. I almost traded in my SC since I only paid $30. Why would you pay 54 for a 50 game?
$27 for NCAA is way too cheap, hell I am trading in Halo for that much.

Do you live in a tax free state?

Most people on this board usually do not discuss tax when talking price, I have yet to see anyone mention tax in the DVD or other bargain forums.

I got the game at EB Games today. They're having a promotion where they'll add $5 to the trade-in price of any games you bring in (no exceptions). Sure, you're still getting the shaft on some games, but considering that you could trade in any awful game & get at least $5 for it, it's a decent deal.

Also, I had checked some other places first & the amount they offered (before the $5 bonus) was approx the same at all places.

Finally, this deal is only for EA Sports games or Soul Caliber.

[jidaigeki]

I turned in all my old sports games that would have gotten less than $1 each (Madden 2001, Madden 2002, NHL 2002, etc.). With the Madden Bucks promotion at EB, and ended up scoring 2004 for $20.

Yeah, definitely - I would have given you $35 for it!

Just a note, both my Best Buy in Mira Mesa and Walmart both have Madden 2004 available. No PC version though which is what i wanted :(

[rayw69]

Took advantage of this deal as well. Traded in 8 craptastic games which normally would have been worth $21.75 (One game was worth $7, so the rest averaged $2 of trade-in value) for $61.75. Took home Madden and some EB credit.

[nickdawgy]

I picked up the GC version at EB free after I traded in about 5 hardly played PS2 greatest hits. Not a bad deal at all.

:D

Oh and the GC version got a 9.4 rating at IGN, suprising, as I heard GC versions of sports games are usually crappy. So I took a chance :D

[jdpatri]

Anybody actually picked this up at Circuit City yet? I was going to take drive over at lunch to see what I might find....

[evenflow]

My Best Buy had it yesterday. Th ad said Wednesday at noon but they had it a day early I guess.

you vets seem to care too much what others do with their money and their games...

ever hear of a lil thing called sales tax? just cause you don't talk about it on this board does not mean it will not get charged on your card, as far as your Splinter cell price, woop-dee-f'n-doo...30 for a new game sounds highly unlikely, but whatever you say..

i posted my experience, only to get crapped on by vets..geez

go forum!!

[lwhy?]

Amazon has Madden 2004 for the pc at a nice price of $34.99 here's a link for those interested They have it being released on 8/18 though. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00009B1UJ/qid=1060800708/sr=-3/ref=sr__3_etk-vg/102-4376206-6100906?v=glance&s=videogames&n=468642

[Doug Schiller]

Re: Madden 2004 PC, Best Buy supposedly will have it for $29.99 this Sunday, so either wait or buy it now and price match.

The Circuit City here in Tampa Bay had plenty of copies of all console versions yesterday, 8/12. I couldn't beleive I caught a break. I was able to get Madden early and a $10 gift card!

The night before EB wouldn't sell it to me without a pre-order. Oh well, I guess they lost a $50 sale.

I appologize for me sounding like I was crapping on you or your deal. No malice was intended, I just think that some game store ripped you off, and maybe you will not go there again. I am sure some members here on the board would have gave you more for NCAA, hell I would have gave you $30-35 for it.
The Electronic Boutique I went to (this is the first time I ever traded in games, I hate the way they rip you off) gave an extra $5 for every game traded in towards Madden.

Actually, I found his joke quite funny.

And calm down, we're just trying to help you.

[RDGAFFORD]

deepdiscountdvd.com has it for $45.99 with free shipping.

[fujishig]

Fry's Electronics here on the West Coast has a deal for PS2 Madden:

55 dollars, which includes a 3rd party four player adapter (usually goes for 20 bucks, the official Sony one is 35). You also get a five dollar mail-in rebate, which makes the adapter free, but I've heard bad things about Fry's rebates. Still, a good deal for people who need a four player adapter (and remember, it's actually an 8 player game, so you can use two of them)

[fumanstan]

Madden 2004 for PC is 29.99 at Fry's until Saturday too.

[PJsig08]

And Madden 2004 is $39.99 for the XBOX and GC only.

In the Fry's ad it says $49.99 with a * which says "Before $10 Instant Gift Rebate".

That might be the best deal by far.

[Trelach24]

I'm about to go to CC and hopefully get the free $10 gift card deal if they still have them.

Then they just need to put the online adapter on sale next week :thumbsup:

[baloobear]

i saw the PS2 version for $45 at costco for those of you with membership.

[fujishig]

Circuit City still has the 10 dollar giftcard deal this week.

[Trevor]

And don't forget to use the BB $5 coupon at CC.
