NBA 2K10 tips off October 6

2K Sports' annual basketball sim celebrates 10-year milestone with 360, PS3 Anniversary Edition, available this fall for $99.99.

NBA 2K10 may be coming out in 2009, but that doesn't mean the big one-zero on the end of the title is without significance. This year, 2K Sports' annual basketball sim celebrates its 10th anniversary. To honor the occasion, 2K Sports today announced the NBA 2K10: Anniversary Edition, a special retail package for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.

A look at the Anniversary Edition.

In addition to a copy of the game, the Anniversary Edition includes a combination lock-equipped 2K Sports locker, a McFarlane Toys-produced figurine of NBA 2K10 cover athlete Kobe Bryant, a Kobe Bryant poster designed by Shephard Fairey's Studio No. 1, and access to an in-game VIP online lobby.

As detailed in GameSpot's interview with 2K's vice president of sports development Jeff Thomas, the collector's edition will also include a retrospective commemorative DVD that tracks the evolution of the series. Thomas also notes that the in-game VIP lobby, known as the Gold Room, is still a work in progress, but will allow Anniversary Edition purchasers a more exclusive in-game experience, including "a certain amount of VIP events."

The NBA 2K10: Anniversary Edition for the Xbox 360 and PS3 will retail for $99.99. NBA 2K10 will also ship in standard editions for the Xbox 360, PS3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Wii, and PC on October 6.

    well i gotta give EA credit for ONE thing....they know how to put the some of the most popular player's on there cover's...but even there cover's couldn't save them from what 2k has put together these past 10 yrs. EA better be lucky that 2k doesn't have rights to make a football game, or they could have been hangin up the gloves for sports games...lol...

    I dont give a damn about any special editions I just can't wait to have Blake Griffin lmao. And some players that weren't in 2K9 like Marcin Gortat, Von Wafer, etc. oh and @1blackone well I think that Devin Harris and Leandro Barbosa are the only people that can catch up to Monta Ellis.

    I wont say i cant wait for 10 cause they did a great job on 9, but im tired of seeing Kevin when i put the game in. DONT GET ME WRONG, he is one THE best in the league, but ill like him when he puts on Laker colors. Back to the Game, i hope the put in the Self ally oop, and make it so you can preset the camera!!!! Also can we give kobe a little more tone on the cover, i thought it was a (white) big fan in his jearsy.

    NBA 2k is the only sports game I get every year and since they Have the GREAT kobe bryant on the cover i will get the collectors addition cant wait to start dunking on people!

    on the Wii? really? i guess if you can make it work.

    Until I hear that you can create plays and do reliable alley oops to players less than 10 feet from you (ala a baseline-cutting alston to a weak-side howard or an elbow cp3 to a crashing chandler) and true speed( NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CATCH UP TO MONTA ELLIS ON A FAST BREAK) ill be holding off from the anniversary edition....who am i kidding? And do what, play NBA Live lol?! Still, id like to see players able to make the same plays they do multiple times a game in real life.

    I'm not passing on the game because Kobe's on the cover, but I will be passing on the Anniversary Edition.

    That Sports Locker looks wicked! Makes me want to get it just for that.

    Now that '2010' is the same length as '2K10' isn't it about time to jettison the lame decade-old shorthand and make it seem next generation? Minor point, but it's looking sillier by the year now.

    lol at you people passing on a game because Kobe is on the cover... that is just sad.

    I also find it funny that it is cool to like Lebron and Jordan

    but you are an A-hole if you like Kobe.

    And if I say that I think Shaq is the biggest baby in the league, and that he has only been good because of Lebron, Kobe, Penny Hardaway, Nash, Wade... I am a jerk... Ooooo K
    Media is so powerful

  • baller72

    hold on pure impact... It is not that he figured out the team concept... it is his team sucked... I mean look who he had before. Smush parker, Tyron Lue, a PREMATURE Butler, etc.

    His team developed and he started to trust him more...

    Iverson was worse of a ballhog when he went to the finals, but everyone loved him... why because Iverson is media savy and Kobe is not period... And I like all players by the way... no bias here. Just hate when people attack players who had no choice but to carry their team.

    i cant wait, hope its better than that stupid madden 09 collectors edition that i paid 90$ for

  • beak1313

    I am exited for this one!!

    You are right John-08, you do get nothing for trading in your 1year old game and I think it sucks. I learned long ago with NCAA football, and Madden games to NOT buy them every single year. You can update your own rosters and create your own players...it saves you lots of money in the long run if all you really care about is roster updates.
    As for all the non-Kobe fans (like me), we remember how selfish he used to play when Shaq left (which is why he won squat). He finally figured it out and VOILA ! He now owns a ring without Shaq..man this teamwork concept is something huh, Kobe?

    the locker is sweet

  • ISuPrEmAcY32I

    Posted Jul 1, 2009 10:02 pm PT

    Cool! that sounds like a pretty sweet collectors edition to be honest. I wonder how much it costs? I probably won't fork out the extra money for it but that's definitely a sweet collectors edition. the Last 2k bball game i bought was 2k7, but i'm actually gonna pick this one up, mostly because i wanna destroy with lebron and shaq on the same team.

  • daabulls23

    Posted Jul 1, 2009 6:01 pm PT

    It would be sweet if they got Kobe to sign a few posters and put them in at random. At least give people hope that their $99 will be spent well.

  • cjasko94

    Posted Jul 1, 2009 7:59 am PT

    Kobe on cover !?!?! Cmon now. LOL!
    But I think I'm going to skip on this game. Due to money (Just can't pull 60 bucks out of my butt) and that I like the basketball series on the ps3, exclusive that is. Nba 09 the inside was awesome, I still play it. Best basketball game ever:
    Nba 2k3-2k2 sega dreamcast haha its been a while
