Hey 2K Sports Fans,
As we have been demonstrating over the past couple months with our countless screens, video coverage, and hype about the game (not to mention numerous glowing preview articles), The BIGS 2 is shaping up to be THE must have game of the year! With improved gameplay features and new Career, Season and mini-game modes, it will provide plenty hours of fun and excitement. And for those of you not yet sold on The BIGS 2, we want to put our money where our mouth is! Over the next month (June 7th to release day on July 7th), I am giving you guys a chance to come meet me at my office in Novato, CA (near San Francisco) and try the game for yourself, free of charge and before anyone else gets to play it, and see firsthand what The BIGS 2 is all about. I am so ecstatic about this game that I will accept a visit any day of the week, so just bring it!
All you have to do to participate is one of the following: 1) follow me on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/Ronnie2K) and direct message me, 2) respond to my thread about it on our online forums: http://2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221305 , 3) post a wall message on my new Facebook fan page letting me know you want to visit: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ronnie-2K/88334509014, or 4) e-mail me at contests@2ksports.com. Please let me know what days you’re free and would be interested in coming to see The BIGS 2 before it becomes this year’s video game sensation. I will get back to you immediately with follow-up steps . I am excited to meet our most loyal fans and hook you up with the total 2K Sports VIP experience. So do you have what it takes to step up to the plate and come check out The BIGS 2 at the 2K Sports office? I accept any challengers!

Wow. I think I may need to make a trip out to the Bay Area. Now, Ron, about that studio visit you mentioned last year...

As I posted in the 2K9 forum...
That's AWESOME...
Unless of course, you can't get to California and were hoping for actual news regarding anything to do with MLB 2K9, since it was implied that the news was to have something to do with that game as well.
I am guessing there are some people who are pretty let down...glad I no longer own MLB 2K9.

In my upcoming blog post, I am going to discuss you people on the East Coast a little so don't give up hope yet!
People who have posted here, I am getting closer to being able to set up appointments so just hang in there. Still plenty of time for other people to do it, so let me know!

Hey guys,
Was thinking, it might be cool for all of us to get together and play. If you want to just hang with me, that's cool. But if you guys all want to check it out, play, maybe grab some grub, we could set a day. What do you guys think of next Friday (June 19th), 4 pm?
