EA holding NBA Jam hostage on PS3/360

Now this is just a dick move. EA apparently has no confidence in NBA Elite’s ability to survive a name change so they are lashing it on the new NBA Jam, forcing consumers to buy Elite 11 just to get at it.

That’s right, NBA Jam will not be sold on XBLM or in the PS3 store. It will only be available through a one-time use code packaged with new copies of NBA Elite 11. The 360 and PS3 version of NBA Jam will be missing The Remix Tour mode of the standalone Wii version.

EA was doing so well not being evil I guess they were bound to slip sometime.
