NBA 2k9 coming to the PC!!!!

2ksports’ NBA 2k9 will be coming to PC’s everywhere on October 21st, according to a post at the 2k sports forums. This comes after rival basketball franchise NBA Live 09 decided it wont be coming for PCs this year (aka abandoned), breaking a traditional yearly release schedule. Awesome news for NBA 2k9 fans like me. For PC NBA Live players who haven’t played 2k9, 2k8, 2k7 on the xbox 360: This is the best basketball franchise available. Time to upgrade those PC basketball skillz.

UPDATE:
NBA 2k9 on Steam and will only cost 19.99USD

Basketball will be coming to your computers this year. Many of you have already seen that NBA 2K9 will be released on the PC on various sites, and I wanted to confirm that.
