Reminder: NCAA Basketball MME Bracket Pack
The NCAA Basketball 09: March Madness Edition "Bracket Pack" update in now available from the Marketplace. The free patch will introduce this year's NCAA Tournament teams, including "authentic" team ratings and seeds, into the NCAA Basketball 09 XBLA spinoff, which was released last week sans demo for 1200 ($15).Unfortunately, we won't be leading St. Zeppo's Clown College to another Cinderella championship this year, as our alma mater forfeited to the Morehead State Eagles before yesterday's play-in match following an accident on the way to the game involving the team clown car and a suspiciously placed banana peel.
