1st no fair why cant us brits get the madden demo

2nd is they really 2 diff demos bouncing around for madden

Seriously, you don't know how to create an American account?

only for US!!!

They probably didn't think this football game would be popular outside of North America since there is no diving involved.

bullcrap, we like Madden in the UK. good old microsoft screwing us again

@I HOPE YOU RROD - Ever seen rugby? A sport for real men who don't need to wear pads to stop themselves from getting hurt.

@CALZ88 Yes, there is a second demo. It's available to people that pre-order. They get access to longer quarters & two other teams.

@SHUTEN DOJI It's likely an EA decision. Microsoft has no reason to care whether or not it's available in the UK so you should probably direct your hate elsewhere.

The demos not bad. Feels like every other Madden but looks damn good. I won't be buying it though. I only buy a new Madden every 3 years or so. And they still feel and play the same as the last one i bought. Since i got '09, i won't be getting '10.

@Olimite - I don't know what pads have to do with cheating in sports, but you seem to be implying that those who play soccer aren't "real men" as well. Anyway, I looked up Rugby on Wikipedia and found that the United States won the last two Olympic Gold Medals in that sport. Maybe rugby was deemed "too easy" by the Americans of the time and they then decided to focus more on football which carried on to the present.

Remind me how the US did in the last world cup of rugby.

Another argument of Football vs. Rugby. YAWN.

we even have a regular season nfl game in the UK so come on MS make it happen!

Excited to try the demo.  As was already stated, it's an EA decision (NOT A MS) one not having the demo in the UK at this point.  I won't presume to speculate as to why.

my sport is better than you, no my county is better at it than yours.......kids....

and your all not missing out on much....I wouldnt worry about not getting it

football is boring now, all the games are the same just re packaged each year... boring.

been looking for this didnt like madden 09 much

I'm excited for every Madden that comes out, and I'm disappointed every year....bring back the ESPN NFL 2K series....2K5 is the best football game ever!

I wanted to try the Madden demo before I bought NCAA 10 just to make sure which one I wanted now I can. I like Footbal(Amercian) more then Football(Soccer).

If I use a 48 hour trial code on my silver american account, can I download the demo?

i am a football/soccer person rather than american football but I don't mind the odd game of Madden from the 93 Megadrive to version the cheap 06 edition for the 360 i got recently.

I just don't understand the rules though!!

This game is sooo crap I sold it week after I bought it.... No wonder they release demo now since it didn't sell as expected. My local stores are still trying to get rid of the collectors editions...
