@LordAndrew: Sorry I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I do agree with you, I was just trying to prove a point to all the people crying bias against the PS3, which you clearly aren't doing. And bias from the postal service is just plain hilarious. It's just not as big a deal as some people are making out. Clearly a mistake was made on the part of EA, which in turn has made it look like Gamespot doesn't care about its PS3 reviews, which obviously isn't true. All of this is cleared up in the article, as I am sure you know. Unfortunately a lot of people don't.
Why no PS3 Review of Madden NFL 10?
We just posted our review of Madden NFL 10 for the Xbox 360 and, given that the two games are so similar, you're probably wondering why we haven't also reviewed the PlayStation 3 version. The answer is simple: We haven't played it. More to the point, we haven't received it from EA yet.The Xbox 360...

The Xbox 360 version arrived almost two weeks ago, so we've been able to spend plenty of time with it. The Wii version, which we'll have a review of up soon, wasn't too far behind it. There's still no sign of the PS3 version though, despite our requesting one from EA on August 6 and subsequently being told that at least two or three copies were sent to GameSpot last week. Did those copies get lost in the mail? Is the PS3 version deliberately being withheld because it's inferior in some way? Or perhaps the PS3 version is even better, and the feature that lets you design plays on your PSP and then import them into the game is awesome? We just don't know.
What we do know is that we're not going to post a review of the PS3 version until we've spent time with the PS3 version. We're told by EA that the X360 and PS3 games are "identical", but we prefer to judge that for ourselves. And we will, just as soon as we can get our hands on a PS3 copy.
EDIT: August 13, PS3 copy just showed up in the mail. Looks like it was overnighted to us. We'll get a review posted just as soon as we've spent some time with it and had an opportunity to try out the PSP connectivity.
