SITVoffer.com's great deal for Madden '10

[kshtoinks12]

If you go to SITVoffer.com, you'll see that you can get 28 issues of Sports Illustrated and a copy of Madden for whatever platform you choose for 49$. Anyone else hear about this deal? Any reason not to do it?

I think i read it takes weeks to get to you

Yeah...your copy of Madden would take at least a week, probably 2-3 to get there....but, if you don't mind waiting its a solid deal if you want SI

[kshtoinks12]

Well I mean, its basically like getting Madden for ten dollars less and getting a full subscription of SI along with it.

-You can get it in store at Sports Authority (http://www.sportsauthority.com/search/index.jsp?kw=madden&lmdn=Category&f=Taxonomy/TSA/3077575&fbc=1&fbn=Taxonomy%7CGames&siteID=lw9MynSeamY-i4_K7pqSPCmQi1ptqA.pEQ) for $45ish with their 25% off coupon (http://slickdeals.net/?pno=23455&lno=2&afsrc=1)...or order it online with shipping for $50 with the code TSASBZS or TSAAPKX. Not sure how well they stock their stores with sports games...I'm guessing that'd be tough to pull off in store

-You can get it at Toys R Us and get a $15 gift card back...which is a better deal if you buy other games in the future

-You can pre-order now from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Madden-NFL-10-Playstation-3/dp/B001UU1WN8) (through 8/17) and not only get it $5 off to begin with, but also get a $10 amazon gift card useable on anything


So basically, if you really want SI...then maybe the SI deal is good...but there are options out there that allow you to get the game tomorrow for cheap (Sports Authority, Toys R Us) or by mid next week (Amazon). There's also rumors floating (this stuff is all from Slickdeals) that the SI offer won't ship you the game for 6-8 weeks. The key to this SI deal was the original policy stated that if you cancelled SI, you'd only be charged $26 for processing and handling...so you'd get the game essentially half price, but SI has since changed the wording that you can only cancel if you send the game back in original packaging
