I doubt it. You certainly couldn't with something like Halo 3, Bioshock, etc, but I dunno about Madden.

Nope. I think you need at least a 48-hour window, and that's pushing it. Most Eb/Gamestop locations received their Madden rations middle of last week.

Yeah I was thinking that and maybe thinking it's about how many pre orders a store actually has and what systems. But, I was just wondering if anyone actually tried that.

I think it depends on the game, or the store. I know I recently went to gamestop on the release date of one of my games, and they didn't have it. Apparently, it actually shipped that day and would be on shelves within the week. They let me reserve it, and I picked it up the next day. Of course, if reserving a game and pre-ordering it are different, then just ignoreeverything I said.

We did, but we still have extra copies available to pre-order. At the very least I would go to the store and ask.
