More than likely it's covered thru an insurance company. There are companies that specialize in stuff like this...3-point shots from half court, field goals, pucks shot into a 6 inch slot in the goal, etc. So someone goes to them and says "We want to give away a million dollars if Joe Blow does X" and they asses the risk and charge them $50k or whatever against the $1 million and pay out if they make that half court shot.

Probably the same for 2K.

EG;

If you took that as a call out and not just goofing around....you yourself might need some time away from O.S.
Sorry you took it the wrong way...but it was nothing except some friendly ribbing(I know we're not "friends"...but you know what I mean).

I loved 2k7 even with all his faults, I will say this game has me pumped too. I love the Stadiums. So I sure I will have a good time with this game too. The franchise looks deep and I hoping the Graphics and animation are up to my level. If they are I will be very happy. I am graphic whore first.

Haven't read through the previous 7 pages...

...this is definitely a wise marketing technique at first glance, but thinking as though someone will have it accomplished in the first 5 hours of release is definitely a possibility.

People are just going to play, start, restart, and play again until it is accomplished...kudos to the gamer that pulls it off.

Saw this on the front page of yahoo the other day. That alone probably gave this game more exposure than anything else.

i bet the contest will have a code that tells 2k who the first person to accomplish this is .. I would put money on the contest having a legal loop hole that states some where that you have to be the "first" person ever in 2k10 to throw a perfect game and also "have video proof" at the same time .. the odds of both happening at once is vegas house odds .. not happening
