To commemorate the ten year anniversary of the "NBA 2K" franchise, 2K Sports is releasing a special "NBA 2K10: Anniversary Edition" this fall for $99.99. The special edition will be limited to just 30,000 copies and will be individually numbered for authenticity.

"The NBA 2K10: Anniversary Edition" will include:

  • "NBA 2K10" video game
  • 2K Sports' "NBA 2K10" game locker
  • 3-inch figurine of Kobe Bryant by McFarlane Toys
  • 16" x 36" Kobe Bryant poster
  • Commemorative "NBA 2K" 10th anniversary DVD
  • Access to the Gold Room, the "NBA 2K10" VIP online lobby (accessible only with Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network membership)

But that's not all. Ten lucky fans will find an autographed Kobe Bryant fine-art print, designed by Shepard Fairey's Studio Number One, which will be hidden and randomly packaged among the different lockers. Fairey is best known as the creator of the iconic Barack Obama "Hope" poster.

"'NBA 2K' is the premier basketball video game franchise for serious players, deeply rooted in rich and pure authenticity that real hoop heads get, which is why we've been the favorite NBA simulation for so long," said Greg Thomas, senior vice president of sports development for 2K. "We've always been very proud of how we engage our fans on a community level, and "NBA 2K10: Anniversary Edition" is our way of giving back to all those that have supported us along the way."

The "NBA 2K10: Anniversary Edition" will be available October 6 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
