EA: Want NBA Jam? You Gotta Buy NBA Elite 11
I think we can all agree on something: When EA Sports announced NBA Jam was returning but as a ‘exclusive’ to the Wii, you were first disappointed because you had to dust off your Wii and second, that it wouldn’t be in glorious HD. Oh and no online play either. Drats. Clean that disappointment off your plate, my friends… after the ESRB leaked that NBA Jam would be coming to the PS3, we’re here to report that the rumors are true! There’s a small catch though…
…you have to buy NBA Elite 11 to get access to it.
Here is how it will work: When you purchase NBA Elite 11, you’ll be given a one-time download code for ’3 modes of NBA Jam’. All 3 modes will indeed be online enabled so you can show your friends what it means to be a true NBA Jam master. As EA says, your getting ‘two full NBA experiences’ for the price of one come this October.
EA also has vowed that this is the only way to get NBA Jam on your PS3 or Xbox 360 as it will not be made available for purchase and download otherwise.
EA Sports promises there’s a good reason why they changed NBA Live to NBA Elite when it arrives this Fall on the PS3. With an all-new shooting mechanic and ‘hands-on control’ will make it the purest NBA game to date. See for yourself when the demo hits mid-to-late September on the PSN and make sure you check out our review this October when the game hits.

Sooner or later NBA JAM will be available to buy on PSN. same as Call of Duty Classic
wow what a CROCK! can I use that game Elite 11 as a freaking COASTER! What an outrage!
THIEVES!
they are shooting themselves with this move. No business from me.
thats a bummer cause i want to buy NBA Jam but I have zero interest in NBA Elite 11
THEIVES???
Watch out everybody ea is going to come into your house and physically take your money! cue the rest of the bandwagon in three two one…
this has got to be the dumbest move l have ever seen. l hope someone got fired for this
lol, i was just reading this on the blog. saw you there wtGp, i agree completely. i was happy like a kid getting some serious candy when i heard NBA Jam was coming to ps3. now i feel like the kid getting honey snacks instead of sugar goodness. hope it does eventually come to PSN alone, and not to late or it will still be a no sale. smoothe moves EA, whats next? Free SSX 5 if you buy another failing franchise in the same package.
@vesra
that’s cool you saw my post. That Yaw persons thinks that this two games in one business is a good deal but it’s not. He’s acting like NBA Jam would be priced at $60 at a stand alone price. l’d be saving more money if l bought NBA Jam separately because it would most likey be around $15 to $20
Nice try EA, but no dice. Stop taking business advice from Bobby Kotick.
NBA Jam was going to be a 100% definite purchase for me, but now thats I HAVE to buy NBA Elite with it, no thanks. EA just lost the $15 I was going to spend on NBA Jam.
they are just trying to boost sales of NBA Elite…..cause they want it to beat out nba2k.I want NBA Jam but not NBA Elite…but I must say it almost….almost made me order NBA Elite but then i thought about it and even if i did and then resold it right away id get like $30 for it so that would be like buying NBA Jam for $30
