Use Madden 2005 return policy to voice opinion

I think to get EA Sports to listen more people need to return the game - not
simply not buy it, since I don't think that will work (since they're the
only game in town, so to speak). When they see large numbers of returns
perhaps they will begin to listen. You have 90 days to return the game
under their warranty. I would let them send you the unsealed game, then
explain to them *after* receiving it that you cannot return it to Store X,
since they have a 14 or 30 day return policy. Then send back *that* game
for a full refund (and put in the cover letter that you expect shipping to
be refunded as well).

There are a few reasons someone would want to return it:
It does not have the features you want (e.g., sideline view camera)
It does not work in your drive (Macrovision's SafeDisc)
Your system exceeds the game requirements but is too unstable to play

I am sure there are other reasons for chosing to return Madden 2005, these
are just the ones that come to mind because they apply to me.
