Good news for those who wanted this game and don't own a Wii
Boom-shaka-laka.
they're heating up!
Oh, forgot to mention: there's a catch.
While we all know the 2K series is superior to LIVE/ELITE, NBA ELITE 11 will come with a free version of the game, but won't have single-player. But nobody gives a shit about single-player in an arcade multiplayer game like NBA Jam, especially with online so yeah..
The catch is a VERY bad catch, as the game will NOT be on XBLA or PSN. So that means if you want a copy of NBA Jam on the 360/PS3, you gotta fork over $60 for NBA Elite.
It's a really dirty move on their part. It's their way of trying to make sales for Elite jump. Think of it in terms of what the Halo 3 Beta did for Crackdown. Only you're likely not going to be getting a fun game in addition to a second little title. So if you don't have a Wii and want NBA Jam, you're gonna be forced to buy NBA Elite new as only those copies will include a DLC code for NBA Jam.
The only good I see out of it is that it leaves itself open to the ol' "Yo dawg, I heard you like baskeball games!" joke.

YO DAWG I HERD U LIEK BASKETBALL GAMES SO WE PUT A BASKETBALL GAME IN YOUR BASKETBALL GAME SO YOU CAN PLAY BASKETBALL WHILE YOU PLAY BASKETBALL
I suppose, but still, a nice treat for those already planning on getting Elite.
If I had pre-ordered the Wii version and intended to buy Elite for 360/PS3, I'd be pretty pissed. Actually, I'd be furious and enraged.
No reason to, really.
Cause there is no Wii version of NBA Elite '11. It's only on the 360 and PS3. :P
NBA Jam will be $50 and have all of the features that the download version will not. The issue is either pay $60 for a demo, or $50 for the full game on a non-HD console with no internet play.
Fuck that shit NBA Elite is probably gonna be mediocre 2K is gonna whoop on them again and unfortuantely since EA is making Jam its probably gonna suck.
so wait. they're basically packaging a stripped down version of the game with NBA Elite to spice up the deal?
and that's the ONLY way you can get it on ps3, 360?
kinda lame. Also I feel that's something that should have been announced WAAAAY earlier. Working at a videogame store, I know we basically sell preorders and employee's would get EA more buisness if we knew this info.
oh well. 2k is gonna be a lot better
