    The red backdrops make me think that they're going to do a CE for 2K10, which would be insane since they've been struggling to make a mediocre baseball for a few years.

    The bigger issue is why these covers say 2K10's the tenth anniversary of the series since it started with World Series Baseball 2k2, which only means that this is the eighth anniversary and ninth entry in the series. #mlb2k10

    @fauxbravo: Oh, agreed, but I mean, that top picture is one of the most awkward, misplaced cover images I've seen. With sports titles, you need the action shot. The game isn't about the player; it's about the sport. #mlb2k10

    I really don't like the red in the cover. I'd prefer one of the two white designs, probably the bottom left choice.

    Of course, I'm probably not going to buy the game anyway, so what does my opinion matter? #mlb2k10

    I'm wondering if people who take these marketing surveys even worry about legal action that might be taken against them if they leak this kind of stuff.

    I've taken some game related marketing surveys and I've seen a glimpse or two of future titles in some franchises but I worry about legal action :)

    Hurray for companies making collections look like shit by messing with established box designs... Just leave shit alone. At least this is a 1-of that can be swapped to a different case unlike the PS3 spine redesign. #newsupermariobroswii

    @Anemone: Thinking that your collection "looks like shit" because of a couple cases of a different colour is hilariously arbitrary and subjective.

    The fact of the matter is that your complaints about that sort of detail are always going to fall on dead ears. #newsupermariobroswii

    @N●Gage Croal: A bunch of Nintendo first party titles came in different coloured boxes (also a PAL region gamer myself), Mario Sunshine was in purple, Mario Kart in red, Zelda: WW in gold (at least the limited edition with the OoT Master Quest disc did), and probably some others that I didn't buy. I always assumed it was to make them 'special' and stand out from the standard black. I thought they'd moved away from that with the strong brand image they have for the Wii (clean white), but obviously not. #newsupermariobroswii
