Did anybody try to buy it that way? is it already playable?

No, PC version isn't out yet.

Now just XBOX 360 and Ps3 versions are available. :wink:

well if you would just go to the ea sports website, amazon.com, walmart.com, etc. youd see they all have nba live 08 PC up for preorder, retard.

the download isnt available until oct. 30. the ea website says it's available for download but when you go to download it, it says you have to wait until oct. 30. hopefully EA will allow me to cancel the order, because if i have to wait until the in-store release date i'll just go to wal-mart and save a few bucks.

Don't do that again :roll:

god I hate this time of year.

well if people would just put a little effort to answer their own questions there wouldn't be a problem

by **J@3** on Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:11 am

It doesn't matter whether they put effort into their questions, you don't call them retards for no reason. Really bad start for you here.

Well, someone must clarify this:

- on the first page, where you select the game it clearly says: "available as direct donwload - ADD TO CART", whereas for other games like Fifa 08 it says "avaliable as direct download - PRE-ORDER".

- when you go to cart, on the "availablity" field it clearly says "downloadable".

Are you telling me that EA is stealing my money without telling me that I will have to wait 30 DAYS????

If this is true, it's illegal.
To me, the only one retarded here seems EA with its suspiciously misleading messages

Yeah, well, it wouldn't be the first time EA did something that was questionably "legal". Hell, NBA LIVE 07 should have been outlawed as flawed as it was. :roll:

This board has been good lately but I remember last year when Live came it it was hostile. :lol:

I know that. I think my last post in this forum was in october 2006 and it was probably a disgusted post against the game and the way EA was handiling the realese of the much needed 07 patch.

Anyway, when I see little tricks like this, I feel like posting again. I was willing to give them another chance with this year game, trying to look at it without prejudice. But if they keep playing tricks to customers I'm not gonna give them one single cent.

What a poor and questionable business ethic. Do they really need to gain interests from the money we pay in advance?

Isn't there any Authority we can refer these things to?

Seriously.
I don't know, maybe the game IS downloadable, but I'm not going all the way through it just to test it. I'm not that stupid. If I'm wrong I'll be the first to apologize.

Yeah, that wouldn't be a good idea. I think a few people have already ventured down that street and got screwed by EA. EA is in the business of fucking... fucking people out of their money. They are very good at it.

well when i bought my download, first it said the same thing to me i coudlnt download it til the 30th. so i did is set my cpu date to the 30th and downloaded it, however, it gave me a decryption error. so the game is PRELOADED on my pc. files are there they cant be decrypted til the 30th. and i know on commericals and nba live's own website it said for all platforms in stores oct. 2.

by **GP20** on Wed Oct 03, 2007 8:10 am

Andre anch'io sono italiano...

by the way it's true, they cannot say the downloadable version is ready, then the downloader says you must wait 30 days....that's stealing money, i sent a email to ea support, asking them why they are doing this...i'm curious to see how they'll answer

Try switching net off than set it to 30th.

Illegal or not, it's just ethically wrong... I mean, damn, it's not like EA is hurting for money... then they have to pull a stunt like this? Come on!!!

by **GP20** on Wed Oct 03, 2007 8:36 am

ye manlove try like he said, nobody knows...

by **keem21** on Wed Oct 03, 2007 9:41 am

Lets crack the thing out of it manlove :twisted:

by **manlove** on Wed Oct 03, 2007 10:31 am

switch the internet off???? but how can i dod that and i have to log in the ea link to install the thing??

by **shukcb04** on Wed Oct 03, 2007 12:00 pm

if i wanted to go through the trouble, i'd file a class action lawsuit against EA over this... if they don't let me cancel my order, i'm just going to contest the charge on my credit card. either way my ass isn't paying for it until i can go to the store and pickup a hard copy.
