Batavia resident Ben Long - a Pittsburgh Steelers fan - is shown here holding the first legally sold copy of Madden 10 sold in the city.

He showed up at FYE at around 11:30 p.m. and waited for the midnight opening for the sale of the game. I have heard other residents obtained the game yesterday and during the day today as some local stores were illegally selling the game before EA Sports allowed the release.

Hoo-hah. This is important news, for sure.

I know at least four people up right now playing it.

I'm playing. It's 3:30 and I expect to play at least until 6.

Walmart would not sell it to me early due to them being socialist or something like that. Even though I knew they had it they hoarded their copies like the red devils they are. Shame on Wal-mart, support local pre-sale locations!!!

When will EA put NHL on the Wii?

Speaking of Walmart, anyone else notice the advertisement for them on the right hand side of the page?

It's not for them, it's for Red Cross. Wal-Mart Foundation is sponsoring the program and all recruitment ads for it are required to mention the sponsorship.
