nba-2k9-pc posts

If you happen to have a little money left over from your grandmother's Christmas gift and haven't picked up the Civilization IV: Colonization or the PC version of NBA 2K9, then 2K Games has a nice deal for you. The publisher has now released a PDF coupon on their web site that can be printed out and used in select retailers to shave off $10 from the price of both those games.

Of course there are other consoles games you can use with the coupon but why would you bother with those (hehe)? The coupon can printed more than once if you want more than one game on the list. The coupon expires on Jan. 31.

You may remember earlier this month we reported that 2K Sports would release its first PC game, a port of their NBA 2K9 pro basketball game, this week. Well...as it turned out 2K Sports forgot one small thing in the package; the necessary CD key that's needed to install the game.

Needless to say, this has a lot of folks who purchased the game up at arms on 2K Sports' message board. The game's official web site has posted up a message saying, "If you are having issues installing NBA 2K9 for the PC, please know that a solution is forthcoming within the next 24 hours – likely much sooner – to alleviate any installation issues involving a Product Key. This solution will be downloaded automatically and seamlessly when you install your product.." Stay tuned

Update: The solution is apparently in place with the 2K Sports site now saying, "This solution will be downloaded automatically and seamlessly when you install your game, and no Product Key is required."
