Well, some of you might think tomorrow is just Tuesday. You would be wrong about that because it is not just any Tuesday but Madden 12 release day!
Means nothing at all to me- but there are going to be some excited people out there looking to get this game so here are a few ideas for you:
Madden 12 for Wii $49.99 with free shipping from Amazon. You will probably have this game in time for the weekend if you order quickly. Make sure to check free shipping at checkout.
TARGET:
Madden 12 for Wii $49.99. Get a $10 gift card back when you also buy 2 bags of Doritos. I am going to guess Doritos are $2.50 each.
WALMART:
Madden 12 for Wii $49.99 with free in store pick up or free shipping.
This works out to a nice deal if you use Ebates because you get 4% back. If you are new to Ebates you also get a $10 gift card with a $25 purchase so that offsets the cost of the game.
Note: I tested the pick up in store and you can pay online but for me the earliest I could pick up was Wednesday.
Shop at Home has 3% cash back on Walmart orders.
If you do not need the Wii version:
I think the best deals are Amazon and Walmart as they are both still considering XBox and PS 3 a preorder. These are released on the same day (tomorrow 30th) so I would put in your order pronto to take advantage of the preorder deals.
AMAZON:
Madden 12 for Xbox or PS3 $59.99 and get a $20 gift card back. There is a promotional credit applied to your account the day after your order ships.
**Make sure you still see the big box in the center of the screen that says $20 credit before you order.
WALMART:
Madden for PS3 or Xbox is $59.96 and comes with a $20 Walmart gift card. I believe the gift card can only be used online.
Does anyone else have other great deals they found on this game?
NOTE: The Best Buy ad is advertising this game as available at midnight in some stores and Target lists it as available at 8am. So to me, that means there is a really good chance some stores might run out of stock. If you plan to shop in store tomorrow you might want to call ahead and just check your store still has inventory.
There are some great deals for Madden this year
Toys R Us-
Has Madden 12 for 44.99 (15.00 off) if you order online, just spoke to a store rep and they said as long as the price is the same online tomorrow morning they will price match.
Target actually has an even better deal then before mentioned.
You do get 10$ off if you buy the bags of chips, but also, if you pre order the game, putting just 1$ down, you get a 5$ gift card, and if you turn in last years edition of Madden you get another 10$ gift card for target electronics that you can also use on the game, so making it 25$ off the game!
Best Buy has the game for the normal price 59.99 but you are given codes if you pre order the game for 5$ down that allow you to download special teams that don’t come with the normal game.
For the Walmart deal, it would be perfect but you have to order online and wait an extra couple days to pick up the game so those that are hard core madden fans, it might not be the best deal if you’re counting on picking it up at Midnight or first thing Tuesday morning.
Good luck! and happy gaming!
thanks for the heads up! it is really hard to believe. we had no idea we would get $20 off of this HOT game. just placed the order on walmart.com!
Wow! Thanks Charlene (and Eric). My husband is super football maniac (he just had his FF drafts for TWO leagues)…not sure if he is planning on getting Madden this year, but if he does, he will get a good deal this year. Last year, he waited too late & we paid too much.
Thanks for posting this. I buy it every year for my husband and I think next year I will pre-order for sure. Seems that is where the best deals are.
Vanessa, I agree that it is. And the thing is you just cancel the order if it isn’t. It is just hard to get your mind around ordering something months in advance I think 🙂
