hmsmystic Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Interesting info. I am embarassed to admit I bought Madden EVERY one of those years for the PS2 and the PS3 once I had that- Always preferred franchise mode on the PS2- don't know why they can't get it right on the PS3!

NoSaint Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Much thanks - some conflicting info but I might have a good chunk coming this way depending on which years actually qualify and if I need to provide some sort of documentation. Between madden and NCAA I have like 5 copies in the wider range that I just pulled out and will try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallskiWallski83 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I remember getting an email about this trial 2 years ago when they offered people to waive their right to be part of the lawsuit. Just got an email 2 days ago notifying me that EA reached an 27 million dollar agreement. If you bought any of the older gen console games you can get about 20 bucks per unit for up to 8 units and 6 bucks per game for up to 8 units for the next gen systems (360, ps3). I filled out everything and submitted it, guess all i have to do is wait for my check to arrrive in the mail. Easiest money ive ever made. and BTW this is what EA gets for having all these exclusive licenses...Madden has sucked since they switched to the next gen consoles.

Do you need to document anything (barcode, receipt etc....)? Or is it just putting game year and system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Wow, what a bull **** lawsuit. Not at all. This was monopoliztion and price gouging at its finest. nfl2k was a serious threat to the franchise. It was cheap, fun, and had the nfl license. EA got an exclusive which put nfl2k out of business and then raised the prices on the games. The worst part of that is they then began abusing customers. Each year the game added 1 tiny alteration but remained the same game. When it moved to the next gen systems the games were barely playable for the first years. It was far from legal business practice. It was even farther from ethical business practice. No wonder EA has won worst company 2 years running. .(link) Consumerist ran down all the reasons why EA deserves, once again, the title of "Worst Company in America." In a nut shell, it claims the game maker is unapologetic about products that are substandard, over-priced and under-supported EASPT2-400059523-7 Edited April 18, 2013 by section122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
