Copies of NBA 2K12 Begin to Circulate
Last year NBA 2K11 made a huge splash through social media channels that was largely driven by celebrities - combined with the mainstream allure of Michael Jordan's involvement. With still over a month until release it appears that NBA 2K12 has "gone gold" and retail copies are already being distributed to those same high profile personalities. The Game, well known for his interest in sports titles as well as having others play games constantly under his gamertag, is the first to tweet ab...

Check out the full roste...
