DNA is $9.99 on PSN (For used/rented copies)

[DEFTFUNDAMENTALZ]

Question is, why put it up on the Playstation store now? I am sure many people will buy it, because they have no idea it is for the "used" game. This is a very strange move imo. I hope that people who buy this "feature" now will be refunded their money if they buy the game. I seriously thought about buying this game new along with NBA 2K, but not now.

wanna wait a few weeks and get it used for 40 bucks or so? ok, but then you still end up paying 60 bucks for the game no matter what.

This is the reasons why i hate EA as a company. They p ull this kinda bullcrap. This doesnt just go for NBA, it goes for their other games too.

With EA games you don't know what you are going to get..mostly junk so far these past few years, see their pro football game..another dissapointment. Greedy EA! You would think they want to bring in new customers knowing how crappy Live's been. They should be giving the customers a discount that purchased the last two versions of this garbage. EA, you can stick it where the sun don't shine...no thanks!!.

This information and data is very valuable and it wasn't free for us.

T-Mobile is paying for it this year for all users who buy the game new.

This is a very expensive tool to use, and if you don't buy it new, then you'll have to pay for this. It isn't greed at all my man.

Like EA cant afford to give the fans something for free? Come on now, you all sucker people every year on Madden and this game. I think the fans deserve something nice for free just once.

Here's is a bright idea:

EA could eat the cost of that in the retail price of the game. I SERIOUSLY doubt that EA is paying 20 bucks per user to access the Synergy database.

This is a way EA can make a little money on used copies.

Cry me a river!

Yeah shame on EA, a business trying to make money. What are they thinking?

So it's okay for NIKE to hire Asian children in sweat shops overseas and charge $185 for a pair of Air Jordans, when it only costs them about $6 per pair to make (including material and labor)? Yet you complain about EA?

I'm sure it wasn't cheap getting "exclusive rights" to Synergy's Dynamic DNA feature....yet EA is still giving this away for FREE if you purchase the game @ retail. Sounds like a pretty damn good deal to me.

Used copies are $5 less, it really doesn't make a difference.

wow so EA excuse is you cant afford this for all users but yet you people bought the NFL license... I was gonna rent this game to expierence this feature guess not.

Some people just expect EVERYTHING handed to them and don't understand the concept of running a BUSINESS. Don't mind them. I appreciate the fact that we're getting it @ no extra charge when you purchase the game. This a great new feature and IMO is what will seperate Live 09 from that other PS2-looking game that depends on some "geek" (who probably knows nothing about the NBA) to do roster updates/modifications!
