NBA Jam HD Hitting Stores In November, Will Cost 50 Bones

" @Sil3n7: The way I see it, compared to the bare-bones game that was coming with NBA Elite, you're getting the Remix Tour mode as well (so boss battles & all those extra characters, Backboard smash & other mini-games), not to mention whatever else that is promised in the "free title update". Oh and online play which the Wii lacks. For the same price as the Wii version. 
  
Again, you're acting as if you're entitled. It has all the features you want from an NBA Jam game. Honestly, what else could you want from the game that would make it worth your money? What's your reasoning as to why it's not worth $50? Is it because you deem it as an "arcade" game? And don't give me the argument that there are fully-featured XBLA games for $15, because on the other hand, there are games that are much less replay value that are selling for $60 easily. Why is NBA Jam getting crapped all over when it's selling for $50? Just because you'd rather pay $20 for the game doesn't mean that EA or anyone else thinks its worth $20. "

Seriously, You kids need to stop being a bunch of fucking babies. it's 50$ on all platforms and it'll be HD on 360 and PS3? grow a pair! suck it up!
 
OH NO! I HAVE TO SPEND MONEY FOR A FULL FLEDGED GAME!
 
to the articles credit though. the way Nicholson worded the title is fucking amateur, and is possibly the catalyst for all this bitching and whining   

Personally, I'm willing to pay up to $25. Guess I'll be picking this up this time next year in the bargain bin.

Who's pulling what "shit"? Selling a fully featured game for full price?  Doesn't matter if it's Activision, or EA, or LJN for all I care. Just because people think that they're entitled to pay what they want to pay for this game, doesn't mean that the companies should bow down to them and cater to their every whims.  "

Yeah... 50 bucks makes this a no go.

Christ, 50 bucks?  I was hoping for 40.  

idiot fucks and pieces of shits. nobody's gonna buy your game now. imbeciles

I feel like the rest of the world just caught up to what I've been saying about this game the whole damn time. It's a shinier version of a mid-90s arcade game for $50. Yeah, no thanks.

so lets get the wii version then? 
 
i was like OOOOH  AWESOME and then i was like AW DAMN.

Except the part where it came out on the Wii and got fine reviews. Oops. "

Actually, I wasn't talking about the quality of the game, but rather the "tacked-on" nature that EA gave it. No oops needed, just read it more carefully chief. :) I would totally pick this game up, $15 sounds about right. Shame about the Wii, hope you didnt get stuck with the $50 for something A LOT of people almost got for significantly less; dodged a bullet there lol.  "

People were expecting this game to cost less?

The thing that annoys me most about modern gamers is the feeling of entitlement.

You know I'm hoping tomorrow that EA Sports announces that they're canceling this game just because of all this pathetic complaining and in the press statement it just says "We're sick of trying to please you assholes.  Up yours."
 
I want to see that happen SOOOO badly now, and I'd completely understand why they'd do it.

This is too much for what they are putting in the retail box copy. I'll wait till it goes down to $30 or less next year.

who expects anything less from EA? wow...i am impressed....not

No one, NO ONE is allowed to complain about this.  
 
NO ONE. 
 
THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE WANTED

I am upset over this because I live in a fantasy land.

Damn you EA, putting that high price on my nostalgia... I'll probably just rent this

You guys complaining about the price are crazy.  I really don't understand what the reasoning behind your outrage is.

I'd rather play NBA 2k11 to be honest.

I'll be picking this up.
 
The way I see it, we're getting online play and extra DLC for the same price as the wii.  I'm up for that.  That's just my opinion though.

$50? No thanks. I'll wait until its on sale for 30 or less.

" I love NBA Jam, but $50?
 
Would you guys buy that TMNT Reshelled game for $50?
Would you buy Hydro Thunder HD at $50?
How about that Outrun Online for $50?
 
It's a remake of an arcade game. People are freaking out that it''s fifty dollars because it's fifty dollars!    For an arcade remake. "

This game went from "must buy" to "must buy later"

" People bitched when it was Wii exclusive.  Then people rejoiced when a barebones NBA Jam was going to come to the 360 and PS3 when you buy the $60 NBA Elite 11 even though these people probably wouldn't touch Elite.  Then people bitch about a standalone $50 NBA Jam for the 360 and PS3 with all the extras as well as online.  People suck balls. "

I'm with the people bitching at the bitchers. Same exact price and offline content as the Wii version, looks better, online play AND we get a free update for the stuff they didn't have time to cram in while still hitting their holiday window. Not smelling any stank here.

Great news!

" 31 quid?! Jesus, thats insane. If you're going to charge that much, make it a full retail game.  This was going to be my first ever sports game as I'm fond of the original. Not any more. "

I'm not even interest in this...but if I was, I wouldn't buy it until after the update. Because releasing a game without all the content is NOT COOL.

No one, NO ONE is allowed to complain about this.  
 
NO ONE. 
 
THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE WANTED

hmmm, might be a go, if a deal can be found

NOT WORTH IT

lol EA

Imma gonna get it.

I almost bought this the other day. If I do buy it, it will be for the Wii. The motion controls seem to work well and I like having my hands free. I don't really care about HD, I don't have it.

This sounds great. Can't wait for it. 
 
Anyone complaining is a straight up baby.

I'm a sucker, so day one purchase for me. Still some time to shoehorn Wrex in, Jam Team...

OK Giantbomb, enough with the god damn NBA Jam news.

" @AjayRaz said:

" doesn't this contain all the features of the wii version? what's wrong with it being priced at 50$?  "

Nothing. Gamers are just feeling entitled as usual. It comes with everything the Wii version had and plans to add more for free. Do people think they deserve cheaper prices for the same product as the Wii? It doesn't help that Nicholson fuels the flames in the subtitle. "

So a full priced Wii game should be $15 on XBLA in spite of the fact that it adds HD and online because? 

Huh EA has been doing a lot right in the last few years...what the hell are they doing now?

no way no how EA.

I PAID $50 DOLLARS TO SUPPORT GAME CRITICISM, I CONSTANTLY POST ON VIDEO GAME FORUMS AND TOPICS, BUT WHOOPS, I FORGOT. 
  
I HATE VIDEO GAMES!!!
