Is the feature list so short, and so embarrassing, that EA has to actually call out that the \u2018limited\u2019 edition will feature the actual game?  And a full version of the game to boot!  Joy \u2026]<\/p>\n<p>Autographed Panini Card \u2013 \u201cMadden NFL and Panini, the world leader in published collectables, have teamed up to create the ultimate Madden NFL trading card featuring 2011 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, Marshall Faulk.  Each copy of the Hall of Fame Edition will include one of four exclusive Marshall Faulk trading cards, each hand-signed by Faulk.  One solid, 18k gold autographed card will be randomly inserted into one Xbox 360\u00ae and one PlayStation\u00ae3 copy of the Hall of Fame Edition.  The lucky recipients of these two cards will have one of the most valuable cards in Panini history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Exclusive Madden Ultimate Team Platinum Pack \u2013 \u201cThe perfect combination of Madden NFL, fantasy football, and trading cards comes to life in Madden NFL Ultimate Team.  The Hall of Fame Edition provides a Madden Ultimate Team experience like never before with the most prestigious Platinum Pack yet, featuring a combination of 13 NFL Hall of Famers and former Madden NFL cover athletes, including: Marshall Faulk, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, Rod Woodson, Eddie George, Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb, Ray Lewis, Shaun Alexander, Vince Young, Larry Fitzgerald, Troy Polamalu and Drew Brees.  All cards feature ratings from each player\u2019s most productive season in the NFL and are fully renewable with contract extensions, which is sure to make them some of the most sought after cards in Ultimate Team history.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I wonder how well this thing well sells; Madden Ultimate Team fans may pick this up, but is it worth a $30 premium?  I do not see what is so special about this version to warrant a purchase.  More goodies please \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Watch me purchase it; just because I can.
