what the.. 

yep, heard about it over a week ago

Desperate much ?

heard it over a month ago... it's their way of saying "yup, it's that hard to do that"

fuck - me - sideways

Read the terms and conditions:
 
EXCLUDING RESIDENTS OF AZ, CT, MD, ND, & VT
  'GRAND PRIZE WILL BE AWARDED ONLY IF AN ENTRANT THROWS A PERFECT GAME BY 5/1/2010 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OFFICIAL RULES.'
 
  I have no doubt that someone can do it, but can they do it in >2 months.  I'd imagine that 2k have thought this threw pretty carefully and set the deadline to ensure they don't have to pay up.

That's quite the promotional stunt. I'm sure there's gonna be one happy gamer out there somewhere.

they have the game built so that when you get close the ai will get a hit every time.

I heard about this awhile ago. I bet that the Ai makes sure you don't throw a perfect game though.

I'm sure that the marketing guys have crunched the numbers enough to ensure that this $1 Million dollar promotion will be well worth it. I can't imagine that they'd go through with it, no matter how difficult the achievement to win the contest may be, if they didn't stand to make more money as a result of the promotion.

and we always say that game junkies are wasting their lives.. 
 
one of them junkies who naturally become fucking experts is gonna make it and become a millionaire . 
 
 
I WANT A MILLION DALLA ;(

Be the first and you CAN win

" I'm sure that the marketing guys over at Sony have crunched the numbers enough to ensure that this $1 Million dollar promotion will be well worth it. I can't imagine that they'd go through with it, no matter how difficult the achievement to win the contest may be, if they didn't stand to make more money as a result of the promotion. "

If they actually programmed the game to not allow a perfect game and someone figured that out the lawsuits would cost them way more then a million bucks. Prizes like this rarely come from the actual game company. Chances are pretty high that they've taken out an insurance policy and it's the insurance company that's going to handing over the million if someone wins.

Fuuuck! But you know no one is going to win, they'll term's and condition's the shit out of that thing. I hope someone does it anyway and make them pay.

Isnt it illegal if its impossible?

anyone win this yet?

These sort of things are a low risk for companies.  I have direct experience with this sort of activity and what they do is take out insurance against someone winning.  The company pays a pretty hefty insurance fee, which is substantially less than the payout, and the insurance company assumes the risk.  Chances are, they figure that it is unlikely someone will get it.
