PlayStation and the Dallas Cowboys are letting 256 select fans and gamers test their skills in Madden NFL 10 in the first football game played in Cowboys Stadium. The invite-only event will take place in conjunction with the Dallas Cowboys season ticket holder appreciation day on Saturday August 8th. This will be the first chance for PlayStation and football fans to get their hands on the new Madden NFL 10 from EA SPORTS and see actual gameplay across the stadium’s big screens via the PLAYSTATION 3.
Contestants will compete in a ladder tournament where portions of the competition will be broadcasted live, stadium-wide, throughout the day for the over 10,000 season ticket holders in the stands. The winner of the tournament will take home a prize package that includes a PLAYSTATION 3 system and a copy of Madden NFL 10. Second and third place winners will take home a PSP prize pack that also includes Madden NFL 10.
So here’s where you come in. We’ve got 25 entries to this event at Cowboys Stadium to give away…but you have to earn it. Commence the Touchdown, MADDEN! Photo Contest. The first 25 qualified photo entries will win access (including a guest) to the event. Here’s how to qualify:
- Your photo must demonstrate your favorite touchdown dance or pose
- You must be wearing NFL gear
- You must have something PlayStation in the photo (controller, game, etc.)
To enter, send your photo to PlayStationMaddenChallenge@gmail.com along with your full name and date of birth, your guest’s full name and date of birth (open to US residents only, age 13 years or older only), and if you are going to be in the Dallas area for the event on August 8th (you must provide your own transportation), located at:

Clever bit. Pity about it being Cowboy stadium. You couldn’t pay me enough money to go near Cowboy land. Cowboy fans are just one circle of hell above Notre Dame and Yankee fans.

I live less than 2 miles away from the stadium in Arlington. Too bad I’m not a football fan, heh, bring some cool RPG/Action/Adventure/Platforming/Shooter game events to the Cowboys stadium, or Arlington, or the DFW metroplex and I’ll most def. sign up.

lol I used to live right on top of where they made the stadium (Waterford Apartments) until we had to move.
Despite being born in Dallas, I hate the Cowboys w/ my life lol I just hate how it sorta messed up the city.

It’d be nice, but I’d inevitably wind up bringing my girlfriend. Who would not approve…lol.

Nice to see PS3 getting some heavy EA Madden love. Madden 2008 was a damn shame. It’s about time Sony citizens get treated right.

Are we gonna get footage on Psn?

Heheh. This is the perfect example of the hypocrisy I’ve mentioned in the past. Hating a sports team’s guts unquestioningly is seen as normal, but hating another console is seen as “stupid fanboyism.” I thank all those who did and will participate in proving my point. :-)

Woah 256, is that a reference to MAG?

Is the PS3 version the Lead sku on this? The 360 demo is noticeably better when I look at them side by side. I really want to get the PS3 version but I really hope the demo isn’t an indication that the 360 version may have better visuals. Do you have any knowledge of whether the PS3 version is a port of the 360 version?

katsuo7171 | August 3rd, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Or a typo?

mastrofallz | August 3rd, 2009 at 10:19 pm

brandonk129 | August 6th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Hey i got the email saying ive made the team, but i have 2 questions. firstly, how/why is it first come first serve basis if we already have a spot reserved for ourselves? And why are so many people posting saying they got in? Also do we get a second email?
32
Jon_Mclane | August 6th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
@30 and 31
both your questions could be answered if you just read. No they don’t provide transportation, and the contest winners were decided by first come first serve I think, and the first email says you’ll get a second email
