Take 2 Interactive scores on a year long date with 2009 Finals MVP Kobe Bryant, and they are indeed milking this opportunity to convert the last of us NBA Live junkies – well let’s call it an aggressive attempt. They are releasing NBA 2K10 in style at a damn perfect time. In terms of appreciation in value down the road, why not consider this a come-up? Mark your calendars because on October 6, 2009, they are releasing 30,000 copies of the NBA 2K10 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition.

Here’s the scoop:

*NBA2K10 Game
*Locker
*3″ McFarlane Figure of Kobe
*Poster
*Special online Access…
*Accurate and complete details at GameStop.com

OK so I might be a Kobe fan, but the numbers alone determine why this is such a come up.

1. 30,000 copies. Staples Center sells out 19,000 seats each Lakers game. Millions watching from their television sets.
2. If someone can calculate the ratio of Lakers fans playing 2K, I’m sure its close if not well beyond 30,000.
3. NBA Live heads, we’re coming up whether you like Kobe or not, because we’re not opening either box (limit 2)…and will continue playing NBA Live. Remember this is only an aggressive attempt.
4. Supply and demand factor, this could be huge.

Game Stop and EB Games (same store right) are currently taking pre-orders, limit 2, available for shipping or pick-up on October 6. Oh yeah… $99.99.
