There are plenty of customizable, user-created ROMs out there. A lot of them.

A deal is a deal, so it's generally a good idea to jump on it when it becomes available. And for a popular gaming title like Madden 12, it would probably be a good idea to grab it when it's only 99 cents, especially when it's only for a limited time.
