Today EA announced that it was bringing a special edition of NCAA Basketball 09 exclusively to the Xbox 360 this month. NCAA Basketball 09: March Madness Edition will give players a chance to play the NCAA championship tournament themselves.

March Madness Edition will be available on March 11th through Xbox Live for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15).

Sounds like fun!

An exclusive game from EA?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Anyone who doesn't see exclusivity continuing are business retarded. Why doesn't regional market exclusion make sense? Just look @the install bases in the United States. Lets face it the United States of America is the main mover and shaker in consumerist culture and we love OUR March MADNESS! I am gonna pick this up in addition to the 2 leagues I usually bet a bracket.

i know but ea is anti-exclusive and they have been for years



PostModGuru on 03 March 2009

They were anti-exclusive because it made them more money, in this instance it makes sense to cater to the huge american install base with as little overhead as possible. I know EA does have experience developing for ps3, yet they have hedged against possible losses in the U.S. market by making this exclusive to the 360. In other words the opportunity cost to develop it for both HD consoles was not their, especially since their last to "hits" didn't hit as hard as they wanted, not to mention the economic milieu. This is something new to people who believe that business is neutral, but as soon as it makes more money, sides will be taken ;-} To look at it from another perspective, would EA be more likely to develop a the World Cup Tourney for the ps3 or 360?

@ Dsis Like I said I hope EA makes a World Cup Tourney exclusive to ps3 cause I won't be buying it   I don't want to rub Mass Effect 2 in too much, but it is going to be a superb followup!   I just played Bring down the Sky a few nights ago...Much Respect
