In stores everywhere 8/9/05
 

Ok, who's taking the day off when Madden '06 comes out?

I've always wanted to, maybe this will be the year I finally do.

Argh, I took the day off for Halo 2. I might as well for this one. :)

I still need to buy a new playstation. The Football games are all I ever play, so I guess I have to pick it up soon. Anyone know where I can get a cheap one? I have a ton of N64 stuff I was thinking of trading it, but I dont know if they still give people money for that anymore.

I've sold some of my older systems on ebay and make a decent amount of money.

Maybe I'll do that. I have the System, like 3 controlers and a bunch of games that I want to sell. I never use the thing, so I just wanna try to cushion the blow of the ps2.

Stores like EB Games will generally give you $$ for anything, games, systems, etc. For a N64 they might give you $15 for the system and a few bucks per game.

It would probably sell well, especially if you package it all up. I've seen that kind of thing go for about 100 bucks maybe.

I dont think I'll be taking the day off, but perhaps. I think I might be taking that whole week off to go to the beach or somethgn so mabye ill incorporate madden into that.

Of course this all depends on me finding what box they packed my play station in...

Argh, I need a vacation.

Hmmm... That's the week [I]after[/I] I was planning to do the week-long training camp report. Would've been nice if they had decided to release Madden a week earlier, then I could've challenged some of the players to a duel!

What a dream week that would've been: having a week off to watch and report on training camp, interview coaches and players, AND play the brand-new Madden game with the players.

Only problem with that is, I'd probably wind up spending all of my time in my hotel room playing Madden!

@ EB games I think u can get either $25 or $50 or something like that for some special trade in that they r running this month on N64s and some games. atleast they were when we got a flyer from them in the paper a week or two. plus I heard today that some local ebs will be doing a midnight opening for madden cuz it just got streetdated.

I put down my $5 yesterday to reserve my copy. I can't wait

Here's how sad a man I am.

I'm looking at some elective surgery in the coming months - nothing too serious, but it'll require a few days of rest afterwards. I'm thinking about scheduling it for the Friday after Madden comes out, so I'll be confined to my computer for the weekend.

Does this make me a bad person?
