If someone gets it early and wins the million and the game didnt come directly from 2K sports but through a retailer, they take 0 heat on it.

That's why they have the restriction on it being at 12:01 AM on the day of release... but then again I had the same question of... do they track this thing by your trophy/achievement? Is there something with MLB Today where it won't be accessible in the same way it will be at midnight on the 2nd? Otherwise, somebody could make attempts before then, and then just send in the recording later.

I thought this contest thing was a joke when I first read it.

1 million dollars!?! Really?

Prediction: They will need a patch to fix the contest feature. Mark my words! C'mon, 2K.

ugh, there is no contest features within the game, play MLB today on all star or higher while being logged into xbox live or PSN and thats it.

too bad most gamers will not fall for this. I guarantee you the Winner is a employee of a Video Game Company, Someone will have already shipped the Video before the game is even released. Sorry Folks, This whole deal Stinks like hot garbage.

yeah....some guy who gets the game a week early...will probably play until he is one out away from the perfect game(3 days before anyone else gets their hands on the game).......wait until 12:01....finish up the game and send it in.

Cool gimmick.
Great marketing?...ehh....

I don't know why we have to record it. Just the last out with the boxscores? It's really gonna suck if I have two outs in the ninth and I gotta pause and set my camera up only to blow it.

I wouldn't call it a scam... i think this is a brilliant move on 2k's part. They have put out a few really bad baseball games and they are trying to win back some of their fan base that has left them. People will go buy this game just because of this contest, there are a few in this thread alone that have had said such. Good on 2k's marketing department. I won't be buying the game, but I love the move.
