In order to pump interest in its annual baseball franchise, 2K Sports is offering a $1 million prize to the first person that can throw a perfect game in the upcoming title MLB 2K10. The window to complete the challenge is March 2 (the release date for the game) through May 1, 2010. The perfect game must take place in a specific game mode that will release with the game. The rules also stipulate that you have a video recording of your game in its entirety. The results will be verified by the good people at Twin Galaxies.
I’m not sure what’s sadder to me about this promotion. The fact that the youth of today is more likely to gets tendinitis in their thumbs from a video game controller instead of scraped knees and tight hammy’s on a real baseball field, or that some 8 year old gaming wizard is going to make $1 million dollars long before I do.Â
