2K Sports Announces NBA 2K13/MLB 2K13 Combo Pack For $79.99

  09:20 AM - February 19, 2013 by Steve_OS

Experience the ultimate in sports simulation authenticity at a great value
with NBA 2K13 and MLB 2K13 in one convenient package

2K Sports today announced that the critically acclaimed NBA 2K13 will be paired with the upcoming MLB 2K13 in a combination pack, available for purchase on March 5, 2013 at participating North American retailers for $79.99, for both the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

“Bundling two of the biggest sports franchises again just made sense,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “In the same way that fans don’t limit themselves to one sport, sports video gamers seek the level of variety and convenience offered in this package. Combining NBA 2K13 and MLB 2K13 will make it easy for fans to discover the latest entries to these popular franchises at an incredible value.”

The NBA 2K13/MLB 2K13 Combo Pack will feature a full retail version of 2K Sports’ new baseball title, MLB 2K13, along with a full retail version of NBA 2K13, both of which currently retail for $59.99 individually. Fans who purchase the NBA 2K13/MLB 2K13 Combo Pack, in addition to those who purchase the standalone MLB 2K13 title, will be eligible to compete in this year’s Perfect Game Challenge*, which will award a sum total of $1 million across 31 prize pools for gamers who pitch the best perfect games in this year’s contest.

“I’ve been a fan of NBA 2K13 cover athlete Kevin Durant for years and to share a video game cover with one of basketball’s elite players is a big honor,” added David Price, Cy Young award-winning pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays and MLB 2K13 cover athlete. “Fans can expect to experience 2K Sports’ signature authenticity throughout this new package, from the sting of my fastball to Kevin’s clutch shooting.”

“Being named as a face of NBA 2K13 was an honor, but adding a Cy Young winner like David makes the cover that much more memorable,” concluded Kevin Durant, NBA 2K13 cover athlete. “Fans can expect the ultimate sports package with him and me gracing 2K Sports’ latest bundle.”

Developed by Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio, NBA 2K13/MLB 2K13 Combo Pack is rated E for everyone by the ESRB.

Thanks for the info

$40 each ? I'd be much more inclined to pick up MLB at $40 than I would this bundle. Bought it last year, when it was $10 cheaper, and never touched NBA. I barely have enough time to get into one deep sports title let alone two, so putting $80 up seems wasteful with so many other titles out there to buy.

MLB 2k13 would have to blow MLB the show out the water for me to even consider purchasing it.. so i will go on amazon to get the 30 NBA 2k13 and create my own 80 buck combo pack..

Well, they would need to actually develop a college hoops game to package it.

I do think it would be awesome if they did and packaged it with the NBA product.

why would you want to pay $80 for NBA 2k13?

I know what this is and it's a very bad attempt. I would advise you go back to The Show forum and leave the people in here alone.

Pretty good deal! Even if The Show is the consensus #1, this is mighty enticing.

Not around these parts it ain't mister.

No flamewars, guys...

And I would've bought this last year if it was on ps3... so I might this year. Although last years game didn't seem to be too highly received. I enjoyed 2k11 tho.
 
# 35 Buckeye @ 02/24/13 05:47 PM
This might cause me to get 2k13 over the show just because I also need a new copy of NBA. I am tempted..
 
# 36 Mikeatris @ 02/25/13 12:22 PM
Horrible deal IMO. Most people who play sports games already have the basketball and if this was the case to package the game like this on launch, then 13 should be $39.99 right off the rip instead of paying 60 for a roster update.

I can't find it listed anywhere. I think you might just need to show up.

CMH, I didnt try this last year.
Is it packaged together or do you buy both games and they discount the total?
