Basically, two games for $80ish....a GREAT deal. Although, I still have credit at GameRush, so no cash out beats $80 for me. Plus, not another game I REALLY want right now.
Hmmmm... that's almost appealing...

But, you can't use the coupon online, and the other deal is an online deal.

Forgive me, I'm sort of a console noob...

Lobby system - you just "open a game" and then someone comes along and joins it?

Can you do more than 1 v. 1?

The coupon doesn't work online, but both deals work together in-store, per CAG members.

I'm thinking about getting this + Overloard. Still I don't really need two new games when Bioshock comes out in a week. Decisions, decisions...

How many people are getting this for Wii? Just interested in the possibilities for online competition.

Works ONLINE now (but no 20% off).

So, here is the deal:
- INSTORE, 20% OFF (some even got GHII for $45)
- ONLINE - Pre-Orders seem to work.

Picked up the PC version for 30 bucks (with that 25 dollar fansedge.com coupon) at CC today. I'm not sure if it's worth it to upgrade - it looks the same as 2007 on PC.

Loving the new tackles and the fact that if you throw into coverage, your pass is getting picked.

Haven't gotten the hang of it quite yet, but I've beaten a couple of friends so far.

Ordered this and Bioshock for 50% off with the TRU deal. Looks like they're shipping separately, so I don't have to wait for Bioshock to "officially" come out. Tempted to use the 20% off coupon at TRU, but I don't think there's a game out that I really wanted, and I can wait for it to ship.

FYI, the TRU Madden deal online is actually coded for "Up to $60 off video games" rather than "50% off 1 game".

You can add 3 $19.99 games, 2 $29.99 games, etc.

The new catch animations are awesome! Have not really played it that much, but it will take some getting used too, first Madden on a next gen for me!
