However, if its a GFW Live game (Gears of War, Viva Pinata, Fallout 3, Shadowrun etc) then it WILL support all of the features found in the 360 version so you can add to your Gamerscore and still communicate with gamers on your XBOX Live friends list cross-platform. Now try to follow me here... Even if a game is a GFW LIVE game it still doesn't mean that you can PLAY cross-platform between 360 and PC users (thats a decision made my the devs) but you will still have the ability to communicate with them by sending/receiving messages (voice, text) and still adding to your Gamerscore by getting Achievements. What Im saying is that I hope that 2K makes the PC version a GFW Live game AND includes cross-platform play with 360 users (which will still have the biggest community of gamers playing this game online) so that all will be well for me and I dont feel isolated from my XBOX Live friends.

I follow, but let me ask this: Going off of the box art we can tell it isn't a GFW game, but can it be a GFW LIVE game without the GFW label?

I was happy when I thought this was going to be a port of the PS2 version, knowing that it is the 360 version is fantastic. Accessory whores will be happy about this, mods will make it possible to have every player to be exact to how they are in real life.

Resolutions higher than 1280x720 has me sold! I also have the 360 wireless adapter for my PC, so I can play the game with a 360 controller!

I agree, but for the past year I've had my Next Gen system hooked up to my computer monitor, so playing NBA 2K9 on my PC won't be any different than on a 360 or PS3 for me, other than the visuals of the game being sharper and mods!

Anyone think that these specs could play it?
Vista AMD Athlon 5000+ 2.6ghz
1 GB RAM
NVidia Geforce 8300GS

I know I can't play GTA IV on it..x/

How bout if I upgrade to the 8600 512 MB one?

I still think this is too good to be true. It would be awesome just if the current gen version were coming to the PC at all, but for $20? That makes no sense. None of the reasons mused over in this thread make sense.

I need to hear this news from someone other than a 2K forum admin. I refuse to be excited about the $60 version coming to PC.

*shakes with anticipation*

This is freaking awesome! I'll probably buy both pc and 360 versions. Wonderful news.

$20 for a 360 port would be a steal, so I am a little hesitant myself. Hopefully it is true. I assume this will not be out for the Mac, right?
