    Buying console for the show

    Yep I’m that guy. Xbox gamer that needs his baseball fix with sports shut down. I was not planning on buying a console this close to the new ones in December. BUT if I were to buy the console is it worth the pro and extra money for 1 game? My plan would be probably to sell the console prior to December. Just curious if the $100 more is worth it for 1 game. Thanks.

    I did it a few years back, after being a long time Xbox guy, and a champion for 2K Sports games.

    After this website gave me major SAS (Show Acquisition Syndrome) I bit the bullet, and purchased a PS3 and The Show just as you are thinking of doing.

    Now, years later, and with a PS4 I have never regretted it, not looked back.

    Breathe deeply... that's it..... breatthhhhheeeee..... yes.....

    Jump in, and prepare to lose minutes, hours and days.

    Totally worth it.

      I know this will come across c*nty, and i dont mean it to...

      Why do you need other people to tell you how to spend YOUR money?

      If you have the disposable income and money to spend and you want to buy a PS4 Pro and MLB the Show, just do it.

      Im a long time xbox user and this is my first time playing MLB the Show. I dont regret buying a PS4 Pro and MLB the Show at all.

        It all depends how fanatic you are about your baseball. Personally, the only reason I own a PS is for The Show. So I would say yes to answer your question. But that's one Cubs fan opinion.

            XBOX guy here and I'm thinking of taking the plunge as well. I think this poster meant should he spend the extra $100 and get the Pro Version, is it worth it, or will the regular PS4 do?

              If you’re a baseball fan, it’s a no brainer. Especially if you have the money to spend. No matter what critique this game gets, it’s an awesome game. Much better than any EA game and on par with 2K. Franchise mode could definitely use some attention but it’s still a fun mode to play.

              And there are tons of other fun modes if you get into DD. But this game is worth it for the gameplay alone. It’s fun to play and absolutely beautiful to look at, especially in HDR on a nice TV.

              I would say get the Pro because the frame rates are much smoother on the Pro. At least in my experience. Can’t speak for others.

                  Bought a ps4 today so i could get the game. Not much of a baseball fan, not much of a ps fan, but have to admit it sounds like fun to play.

                    What are the chances of a bundle being released?

                      I love baseball and I feel like the Show was created by SDS for me as a personal favor, so it's a no-brainer to get my approval...

                      ...however...


                      if you've gone 15 years w/o playing the Show and have enjoyed those 15 years w/o feeling something was missing in your life, you'll be just fine buying a regular, (maybe even used)PS4. still, if there is one thing I learned from America's greatest rock'n'roll band, Aerosmith, anything worth doing is worth overdoing to excess.

                        The Pro is definitely worth it compared to the Slim. The frame rates alone make the Pro worth the extra money.
