This is just a marketing scam. There will be no winner. Its sad that 2k has to stoop to these type of gimmicks to try and sell their product.

Who assures us that the game is not scripted? I'm afraid this game mode might become dangerously addicting for some....

Hell, I may buy the game just for this shot lol.

But here's a stupid question: Unless it shows up in trophy/achievement form, what says that people who get the game earlier than the release date don't get the perfect game before midnight on March 2nd? Obviously timestamps aren't too easy to look at on a DVD from a digital fingerprint.

The only thing I can see is if MLB Today rosters are updated at that time or if the mode isn't playable till then. Otherwise, some people may have a few days beforehand to try this out and then just claim that they won an hour after midnight or so.

Speaking of which, is this all based on the first person that sends in a DVD, or is this like BINGO! ? Like, maybe the first person that claims it gets precedence on getting their DVD examined first, whether they check theirs first, you know? So if I call BINGO! before somebody else, but someone else get their DVD sent in first, who gets the prize?

Contest is through 5-2-10

Wonder if this forces EB/GS's hand and they have to do a midnight release? If so that means midnight for The Show...

Never seen something like this done before, and sounds like a cool idea

There's an achievement (assuming trophy) for throwing a perfect game.

Hmm, then it makes me wonder what if you accidentally throw one before that?

I hope it also notes what difficulty you played it on, because I know some people that are just great with camera tricks going into the pause menu and coming out without skipping any frames, and changing to Pro difficulty or something.

This is what I fear.

Don't you have to record start from finish?
