cue people crying about paying 70 bucks for the game after buying it used at Gamestop when they could have bought it for 60 new because of this.

Haha true.

Got that email too, so I posted it this morning.

Whoops I didn't see it when I searched before posting sorry.

[Andrew]

All good.

Agreed. Good news that T-Mobile has NBA Live 365 covered again this year in new copies of the game though.

So if people buy the game, it has less resale value.

[Andrew]

I guess so, but isn't that the way with anything you're trying to sell second hand?

$5 less than last year, they're slowly learning.

It's a good thing T-Mobile is covering subscriptions in new copies, as much as I like the concept I think it would be a tough sell to a lot of people if everyone had to purchase it seperately.

I thought it was $10 last year.

[Andrew]

I think it might've been, now that you mention it. Or maybe it was $19.99, I can't quite remember. I do remember it was discounted to 800 Microsoft points towards the end of the season.

[Arcane]

I think a site said it was $19.95 but EA had to clarify that as it was a misquote.

[Andrew]

That does sound familiar.
