Major Nelson has given gamers a heads up that the NBA Live 2009 demo is now available on Xbox Live Arcade. It’s free as expected and takes up 694 MB of space. I’ve always been a fan of try before you buy offers, especially for games that change very little from year to year. However, the NBA Rewind may be a deal maker.
Here are the details:

Price: Free
Availability: All Xbox LIVE regions
Dash Text: [ESRB: E (Everyone)] Get your first chance to check out NBA Live 09 as you recreate the matchup from the 2008 NBA Finals with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. Play with their current rosters or step back in time to play two different games based on the players performance in two of their classic matchups with the all new NBA Rewind.
NBA Live 09 will be out for the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii and the PSP. PC sports fans lose out as there is no PC version out of 09. According to Shack News, Peter Moore announced EA will be coming out with NBA Live and Madden for the PC next year at an investor’s conference this summer.
“We are retooling these titles [on the PC] to take advantage of the online connectivity in a bigger and more meaningful way,” Moore said today, noting that EA’s usual sports offerings–Madden, NCAA Football, NBA Live, etc.–will reappear on PC in 2009.
