EA issues correction on NBA Live 365 pricing
Over the past few days, speculation has run rampant over pricing issues for NBA Live 365, the online service for NBA Live 09 that features Dynamic DNA for real-time player stat updates.
Pricing for the service was inconsistent across the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, with gamers crying Foul on the different price levels.
There was also confusion on whether or not the service would be available at all for anyone purchasing a pre-owned copy of the game.
Fortunately, Marcus Stephenson at Electronic Arts helped clear things up this morning, releasing the following information statement to better explain the situation.
We’ve heard that there’s some confusion around NBA LIVE 365. I wanted to let you know that if you buy the game NEW, you’ll have a card in the case with a special code on it.
That code is specific to your Gamertag / PSN name and gives you NBA LIVE 365 FREE all season long (starting October 27th). For those who do not purchase NBA LIVE 09 NEW, we’ve made it easy for you to get NBA LIVE 365.
On both the XBOX 360 and the PS3, NBA LIVE 365 retails for 9.99. This can be purchased via the XBOX LIVE Marketplace or the Playstation Store. Currently, the price listing is correct on the XBOX LIVE Marketplace, but it’s incorrectly marked 19.99 on the Playstation Store.
We’re working to get this corrected as soon as possible, but rest assured, the price is 9.99! We hope you enjoy NBA LIVE 09 made fresh daily all season long.
Now, let’s get back to working on those free throws, folks. These games don’t win themselves.
