NBA Jam til Xbox 360 og PS3

Og nu til dagens måske mest løjerlige nyhed, for EA kan endelig fortælle at NBA Jam også udkommer til Xbox 360 og Playstation 3, dog ikke på hverken Xbox Live Arcade eller Playstation Network. I stedet vil spillet blive inkluderet som download-kode til alle de som køber NBA Elite 11, hvilket altså betyder at du skal købe et spil du potentielt ikke har interesse i, for at få adgang til NBA Jam.

Det stopper dog ikke der, for noget kunne tyde på at det kun er en demoversion af spillet der kan downloades, og fra EA lyder det således: "...we are going to let them experience 'Jam'. It's not the full product, but it's a good portion of it..".

Nyheds-bloggen Kotaku har presseklippet direkte fra EA, der lyder som følger:

"We're still holding back the Remix Tour for the Wii consumer, and that's about 20 hours of gameplay," EA Sports' Jordan Edelstein tells ESPN. "But for the PS3 and 360, we want people to try 'Elite'. We feel like 'NBA Elite 11' is a great product and we want people to give it a chance and see all the changes we're making. So as a way to say thanks to these people, we are going to let them experience 'Jam'. It's not the full product, but it's a good portion of it.

"And the only way to play 'Jam' on the 360 and PS3 is by picking up 'Elite'. There's a one-time use code that will be in every copy of 'Elite', so you just go online and redeem it. We're not selling 'Jam' on PSN or Xbox Live. If you still want the full product, the full experience is on the Wii, but if you pick up 'Elite', you're still getting a good taste of it, especially with the inclusion of online play."
