Pitch a no-hitter in MLB 2K10, get a million bucks

Your mom may have told you that playing those video games would never get you anywhere, but she'll have to apologize for the rest of her life if you win 2K Sports' MLB 2K10 million-dollar giveaway. The developer is offering up Dr. Evil sums of money to the first person on the Xbox 360 or PS3 (sorry, those are the only qualifying consoles) who can pitch a perfect game in the first 60 days of the game's release -- starting March 2, 2010 at 12:01 AM PST and ending on May 2, 2010 at 11:59 PM PDT. Of course, where there's free money, there are caveats.

Two stipulations: You have to play against the CPU in MLB Today mode, where it will automatically default to all of the proper gameplay settings; and you have to record yourself pitching the entire perfect game and slap it onto a DVD. 2K Sports has actually tapped Twin Galaxies for some help on the authentication part, so keep in mind that those guys over there are very good at sniffing out the bad eggs. We suggest you make your friend Tom Foolery wait outside while you attempt to pitch a perfect game, because any kind of tampering or trickery will only get you disqualified.

For a full breakdown on the rules, you can check out the contest page on 2K Sports' site at 2ksports.com/perfectgame. MLB 2K10 releases on the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and PC on March 2, 2010.

I threw a perfect game using standard settings in MLB 2K7, for what it's worth. It was against the Pirates.

@ Dirk - Read my post again and you will see that it says nothing about "exclusive licensing agreements." I said that the professional leagues need to take away their licensing agreements from 2k. I said this because they shipped a product with broken achievements, servers that cannot and could not support all areas of online play, as well as general glitches that were not rare in nature. Obviously, someone at 2K said to ship the game anyway because of a deadline that matched the start of the NBA season and the looming holiday rush.

In addition, 2K hockey was blown out by this year’s iteration from EA and 2K baseball has not been accessible to the masses for two years now. 2K Sports should not be allowed to continue to put this crap out without consequence which is why I will continue to spread the word about how terrible 2K Sports is and will never buy another 2K sports game until they turn it around.
