NBA.COM complaint 

Post#1 » by evildallas » Tue Apr 29, 2008 6:27 pm

I bought games 3 and 4 from NBA.COM video downloads. Of course the files are drm protected. I would expect that. What I didn't expect was that due to bad code on their servers that I can't install their drm manager. Thus $5.98 for nothing. I've emailed them about this, but I was very disappointed in the whole process. I post this to vent and as a warning to anyone else thinking of purchasing their videos. I assume if you already have their drm manager installed that it would work alright.

David Stern fix your stuff.

Hi evildallas and markdeez33,

can you tell me the kind of card you used to pay (visa, mastercard,...).
I tried with two Visa (one Euro, one US), and never succeed to get the card accepted.

Thanks ;)

They might be blocking you because I saw a note about only selling the downloads to North America right now.

BTW, I finally got the download to work on 1 machine. What was different? IE6 and maybe older Windows Media Player. The ones that didn't work had IE7 on them. If that is more than a coincidence it is pretty pathetic coding. This info won't help most people as not everyone has a half a dozen machines to try.

You must be out of your freaking mind to buy games.

It's because Games 3 and 4 shows how the Hawks handed the Celtics' own a@$e$.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
