    Re: ESPN: Win a million dollars playing MLB 2K10!

    In addition, all entries must be recorded via camera or digital video recorder, and entrants must submit a copy of their recording on DVD in its entirety for verification.
    Wow...I thought they would have something in game that would alert them to someone succeeding in the challenge. So not only must you be the first to accomplish this feat, but you must also be the first to submit it to 2k via DVD.

    Still though...its a hell of an opportunity.

      Can you imagine if you're one out away from the first perfect game and a computer guy makes an error (like a passed ball by the catcher)?

        Or the ball goes through the glove of the outfielders like 2K9.

        I think people would wig out!

        It is obviously not going to be easy.

          Thats why I said this forum is going to be quite entertaining come release day, while this challenge is in effect.

          There are going to be some angry, pissed off people I'm afraid.

            I hate the 2k baseball series but this makes me want to get it. As an MLB the Show fan, I never get it but this makes me want to. But think about it, an easily manipulated thing like a video game and a clear cut promo to try to beat the Show by giving away $1,000,000? C'mon guys, the fix is in!

              I've never thrown a perfecto in a baseball game in my life (did it in Bigs 2, but that doesn't count). I've thrown 2 or 3 no-hitters, but nothing recent.

              No chance I win the million..and if I did get it rolling, I can guarantee you I'd have the lens cap on the camcorder anyway. LOL

                There is no way anyone wins this, they will make the settings so hard that it will be impossible.
                By the way are you guys really going to record every game you play?

                  With my luck I would finally get the RROD on my 360 just as the last pitch is thrown, lol.

                      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?

                            So who knows... they obviously know something about their game, where it isn't as easy as you would think, to just hand away $1 mil. (Even if it is sponsored money)
                            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.
