Whos calling in sick tomorrow? I know the majority probably will be with EA’s NFL Madden ’11 blitz’s into shelves. Just about every retailer is getting in on the action and offering gamers who buy the game from their store, will leave with some sort of swag.
In honor of this grand event, here’s just a few things pertaining to the game’s launch you may be interested in:
–Best Buy is giving those who purchase Madden NFL 11 this week on Xbox 360 or PS3 half-off on another game for their system. Choices include: Alpha Protocol, Dragon Age: Origins, God of War 3, and tons more.
-A new PS3 bundle will be available for purchase at Best Buy, that includes a 250GB PS3 and a copy of Madden NFL 11 for $349.99 (it’s already live on the Best Buy Canada site). That’s basically getting the game for free. Well, it is.
–GameStop are giving away an Xbox 360 Slimline with a copy of Madden 11 if you “post in the comments section a link to a video showing what you think is the ‘craziest football play of all time”.
-The retailer is also running a Gridiron Game Changers Sweepstakes: Check back to the “Madden Mondays” page each week, and text a keyword featured on the site to 65579. Why? You’ll be entered to win a VIP trip for two to the GameStop Madden NFL 11 tournament finals event. Also, if you preorder Madden NFL 11, you will receive 20K Madden NFL Coins which be spent on online scouting, player boosts or even building your Ultimate Team.
On top of that the Wii version will have some exclusives and N.America will also be getting a PSP bundle as well. And we can’t forget Apple getting in on the action with it hitting the Ipad and Itouch.
Madden 11 is tackling the world tomorrow on every platform possible.
