With all the microtransaction bullshit in it, it'd probably benefit 2K to charge this price for it, and it's warranted.

Bought, why not? At least if it's on Gold or Gamepass in the future you fully own it this way.

And its $3.00. Thats like 10 days of Bing rewards.

I don't think it's a mistake, NBA2k16 or 17 was offered for free via PS Plus one year during the NBA Finals as well if memory serves correct.

That should be the standard price for NBA2K. I would even buy some micro transactions that way....

Doesn't really seem like a price error. We're late in the sports game cycle so the games go very cheap now. NHL 19 is free with Gold.

Do note that the NBA 2K games are awful microtransaction hells now.

I doubt it. Both NBA 2K17 and 2K18 haven't gone lower than $19.80 (67% off), so this is a huge difference. Don't think any game has gone 95% off on Xbox Live either.

$2.99 is way too arbitrary to be a price point. My guess is they tried to switch it to $29.99 for the finals and lost a digit somewhere in the codebase.

Here, duh.

It's one of the most popular sports. Even if it doesn't, there's going to be endless amounts of tutorials online on everything from basic rules to player stats.

Dive in. Basketball is good fun. But hey, if you like this, make sure you try out NBA Jam On Fire Edition. It's basketball distilled to the best parts, and plays like a highlight reel. I've poured more time into that series than any basketball sim could ever hold me for.

Is it like NBA Playgrounds? Because for some reason I just found out I own that on steam (god help me, I need to stop buying games and not playing them) XD

Yeah. It's pretty similar.

That's actually my dilemma with this price point. It's so good, and I know that if I bought it and actually played it that I'd have a good time. But I'm just so backlogged to hell.

I mean, I just got Sonic Mania and Borderlands Handsome Collection on PS Plus, so I'm going to be balls deep there until who knows when. I poured 2000 hours into BL2 on the 360. Like I needed the addiction back. Then to add another time sucker on top of that?

I'm trying to have a fucking life, goddammit. And then price "glitches" like these happen, and I sit here biting my lip with my finger hovering over the buy button.

The game is $19.99 for PS4 on Amazon right now. Makes me wonder if this $2.99 is on purpose but even if it is this is quite a steal.

Checked US store through the Android app, and mine says purchased 06/11/2017, wtf lol. Never bought a basketball game in my life.

Pushed it to install on my X1, will check later.

Edit: changed back to UK in app, and still shows up as purchased in 2017.

2k19 is part of the free play weekend trial, So I guess that's probably why there's an error in the price.
