Default Press Release: 2K Sports Bounce Tour

2K SPORTS REUNITES A TRIBE CALLED QUEST FOR THE 2ND ANNUAL 2K SPORTS
BOUNCE TOUR


A Tribe Called Quest Embarks on First Tour in 6 Years

New York, NY - August 10, 2006 - 2K Sports, a publishing label of
Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTWO), today announced the
reuniting of legendary hip hop act, A Tribe Called Quest, to headline
the first leg of the 2nd Annual 2K Sports Bounce Tour in 15 cities. This
marks A Tribe Called Quest's first tour in over half a decade. In
addition to headlining the tour, an exclusive track from the group will
appear on the upcoming 'Dan The Automator Presents 2K7' soundtrack with
Phife Dawg appearing as a playable character. Joining A Tribe Called
Quest on this historic national tour is Rhymefest.

Comprised of Phife Dawg, Q-Tip, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, A Tribe Called
Quest is known as one of the most intelligent and artistic rap groups of
the '90s with four solid albums and a string of hip-hop classics prior
to their 1998 break-up. This heavily anticipated reunion marks one of
the top hip-hop happenings of the year.

"I'm excited for me and my group to be a part of the 2K Sports Bounce
Tour," said Phife from A Tribe Called Quest. "It's a win-win situation
for Tribe because we get to be a part of such a dope game, and we get to
reach out and touch our fans in these 15 cities. I couldn't ask for a
better opportunity. Also, I'm excited because everyone knows I am a
sports nut, so being down with the game and also being a character in
the game is crazy to me."

The 2nd Annual 2K Bounce Tour is the latest addition to 2K Sports'
series of annual live events that bridge hip-hop, sports and video game
culture by featuring renowned music artists, sports gaming kiosks,
projection vignettes and celebrity and professional athlete appearances.
The tour will take place in more than a dozen top markets throughout the

innovative style meshed perfectly with the 2K Sports brand."
