TheStreet reports that infamous football star O.J. Simpson received $50,000 from Take-Two for the rights to use his likeness in All-Pro Football 2K8 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Interestingly, however, Simpson will not be getting any of the money from the deal as a Los Angeles judge has ordered him to relinquish the payment to the Goldman estate, the murder victim.
Most interesting is the fact that the deal with Take-Two states that in a renewed deal Simpson would receive another $50,000 for the use of his likeness for another two years. The publication has more on the contract where Take-Two separated the included football legends into groups, with variable pay for each tier of players.

Why does it say PS3 pays OJ Simpson? Shouldn’t it say Take-Two? This makes PS3 look like the collaborator.
PS3 is what operates the game, and I’m sure Take-Two is most likely by Sony. A little on and off the subject, O.J. has been getting a lot of attention lately, I wonder why?
Seems kind of risky to me
