That's a long time after the first release...it's a fair enough time to drop the price.
To be brutally honest...there's enough "returned" and "used" 2K12 copies around to pick it up very cheaply anyway.
You can also get the PC version...which has some incredible mods (free) for as little as $10.
This "re release" on March 11 is marketing and nothing else.
The thing I don't get is why does LDK jump into a forum and say "what art updates do you want?"........and then Ronnie 2K says "big surprise coming"......and then ZERO art updates / big surprise is a cheaper version will drop March 11.
Ummmm...hype everyone up for that? Nice way to piss off everyone who has the game and was waiting on legit art updates. 99% of people following Ronnie 2K would be people who
already own the game.
Why hype them up with a "big surprise" and then reveal it basically be "guess what it is? we are selling the game cheaper to guys who haven't bought it yet!".
These guys are their own worst enemies. Ronnie 2K should be selling used cars...he's just got zero credibility left in the community. I honestly have no idea how 2K still have him as their
PR
guy. He's legitimately bad. He's the Toney Douglas of
PR
...these guys need someone else.
Personally, I won't be buying the 360 version again due to the lack of support. Half hearted roster updates, bits and pieces at odd dates...it's just been a let down IMO.
On the other hand........the PC version is
great
value for money though and I'll be grabbing it (only) from now on.
Wow, you read my mind... exactly how I've been feeling all year about this game and the people working on it.
