Second, please read this whole post, as it illustrates my point.

It is the time of year yet again that time of year again. People wait outside of stores at Midnight just to get in. The doors finally open, and you get the game you buy every year, the game even non-gamers get excited for. You get home at 1 a.m. pop the disk in your system, and get ready to play some football. That's right, i'm talking about Madden, EA's wildly popular football game.

Now, before you start on me, I like football. That's right, I actually enjoy it. But yet, I only own 1 Madden game. Madden '06. And I purchased it for a mere 6 bucks at Gamestop, 1 year after it came out. I play it sometimes, granted I haven't for a long time as I'm sure some of you will bring up. However, I don't see the need to buy the new game every year. This is not b/c of excellent self control, just because I notice that Madden '90 through Madden '09 are all football games. They are virtually the same for me. I will only ever buy another football game for the 360 if I am bored and want something for a few bucks to keep me entertained. Now, the jump in quality between the Last Gen games and the Current Gen games are signifigant, but what about all of those in between?

I want to know why you buy Madden each and every year on day 1. Tell me why it is worth it. Also, tell me why you don't just wait a year for '09 to be 10 bucks and pick it up then.

Thank you for any and all constructive responses.

The question is why dont people buy Madden every year. Its the greatest game ever..
