    Someone needs to explain to this woman that that is *NOT* how belts work. If she can't wear it correctly, then she shouldn't wear it at all.

    Next, someone find a similar problem with her pants. #sportsauthority

    I am a huge fan of Jillian's not only for her hot body and good looks, but her for her passion in being fit and helping others being fit and changing unhealthly lifestyles in our country. It takes a lot to change peoples lives like that. I know, I was once overwieght at 5'10 and lost 50 pounds. I am now a healthy 160. It is a battle you fight everyday. Even though she is a woman she can be looked up to by either sex. #sportsauthority

    @karaiya: Oops I meant to add that even though Ms. Michaels and others are trying to promote fitness to all types of people. I think as gamers we all need to take time aways from our PC's and consoles to stay fit and be active. I don't know if this is something I would invest my cash into. When I could throw on a pair of running shoes and jog for a few miles. #sportsauthority

    I'm curious as to the success of this endeavour. I do hope however that doesn't mean they'll start investing into more fitness games. How have EA's fitness game and Jillian Michael's own game factored in with WiiFit? I know that there's atleast a few other games including one for the Biggest Loser itself.
    It just seems like they want more people walking into the store and I see Nintendo gaining from this more than these guys to be honest. #sportsauthority

    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

    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 :)
