    Thank god. I love the 2K series but still like Live at the same time. As for the Street/arcade exclusive deal, thats basically whats going on now. Street Vol. 2 came out in 2003, Ballers 2004, Street V.3 this year, etc... The other Arcade wannabe games, NBA Jam, just sucks, so its win win for all of us.

    Saw this earlier today. Sounds good, if true. More proof that the NBA is the best pro sport. :cool:

    Then again, IGN was the first to report about the MLB and NFL deals, so I put my reliable sources with IGN.

    The 1st article I saw about this news came from here:
    http://www.gamercentric.com/index.php?page=viewnews&id=3418

    That article doesn't really get into exactly what the deal is though. I would tend to lean with IGN as well, although their PS3 talks last week shows me that most of the IGN guys are idiots who can't get their stories straight (well, maybe just the video game guys anyways).

    I like the Take-Two games better anyways, so I couldn't (almost put could) care less if the IGN article is correct or the other one. I guess the whole exclusivity thing would still be going on though, which does suck.

    An article from the WSJ seems to back up what IGN said:
    Sorry, this was posted on another board w/o a link, and I can't get one from WSJ.

    There's also another article that backs up IGN's story:
