Million Dollar Prize Handed Out For Perfect Game In Major League Baseball 2K10

It took gamer Wade McGilberry only 90 minutes of playing MLB 2K10 to net a cool million dollars thanks to 2K Sports.

According to 2K Sports, McGilberry was one of several dozen entrants in their Major League Baseball 2K10 Perfect Game contest, but was the very first to throw a verified perfect game and took home a cash prize of $1 million because of it. Wade only needed seven tries, most of which was spent ignoring his in-game catcher's suggestions. Instead, he threw a bunch 2-seam fastballs as weak as possible, keeping them low and out of the strike zone.

"I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it, but I was going to try my hardest to," Wade said during a phone interview with GamePro.com. "I already told [my wife] that I was going to be taking the TV for the next couple of weeks or so until I did it."

And my mom told me playing video games would never get me anywhere! Not a bad way to spend 90mins if you ask me.
