    Re: MLB 09: The Show - The System Seller?

    Just ordered a PS3 from Dell - will be for The Show only...

    For me it was a combination of seeing how awesome the Show is...and playing a terrible 2K9 game on the 360...
    I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

          Just got it!!! downloading all sorts of stuff as I type. I tryed to like 2k9 and played the heck out of it since release, It just got to the point that it was too much trouble just to get it to play a real game of baseball. last night was the last straw, so I went out and traded in some old games and my back up 360. Out of pocket w/show 340!!!I sure hope it worth it. Update done, here we go....

            In my opinion, MVP is one of the most overrated games. Not saying it isn't good, it was, but over time, it has gotten this "mythical" baseball status. Quite frankly, I liked High Heat 2005 (the one with Schilling on the cover) better. Sure, the graphics weren't as good, but you could really control rosters, and the game played great. If the graphics would have been good, people would be slobbering over that game still.
            MLB 09 The Show blows MVP out of the water. Not even a competition in my opinion, but to each their own.

              It is. Now you can play the PS3 exclusives or buy EA and 2K games for it (although I think the 360 versions are better most of the time).
              Plus, now you have a system in case you get the RROD (I have 2 360s).

                I can see this being the case with a few harcore fans...and those who have other circumstances where they're "this close" to getting one anyway - i.e. the deciding factor.

                My roommate just got a 42-inch LCD in his room and has talked about a DVD player for it. He's tossed around the idea of just getting an up-converting standard DVD player, but he's also discussed a Blu-Ray player.

                After having him wander into my room last night and stand there watching me play through my RTTS for about a half hour...I am pretty sure Sony's going to be getting another system moved very soon.

                        There were several things about the PS3 that I was interested in -- Blu-ray, LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear -- but I don't think I would have purchased one had it not been for baseball.

                        I was preparing to just take my lumps with 2K9 and just try to enjoy it, but after reading some of the reviews of both games and seeing The Show in action on an OS video, I said to hell with fiscal responsibility and made the jump. I haven't regretted it for a second.

                          exactly windu. I bought my PS3 for MLB 08 and I am glad I did.
                          I do enjoy Gran Turismo too, so it will be worth it when that comes out (when ever it eventually does!)

                            Just bought a 80 gb Ps3 and the show 09 today. Was upset it didn't come with any hd cables but I know the show will be worth it!

                              I'm as a big a proponent of mlb the show as it gets...wrote a huge arse review of mlb 08 for psp on my blog...

                              but i'm not sure I can justify 300 dollars for a ps3 to play Mlb the show. Are all the graphics and sounds and bells and whistles reallly worth 300 bux. I mean isn't the core gamplay still the same whether its ps3, ps2, psp.

                              Recently, i played PES 6 (winning eleven) on my ps2 with a couple buddies and had as much fun as playing PES 2009 on my pc. At its core, the game is still similar.

                              I guess online play would be the one thing that ps3 has over the other two. I'm not sure though that i would utilize it that much. I mostly play road to the show.

                              Crysis blew me away with its graphics and I'm considering upgrading my comp to run it. But I'm not sure the graphics boost of psp to ps3 mlb is worth it. In some respects, psp road to the show is the most perfect iteration. Portable. Pick it up play a couple innings. Shut it off.

                                IMO spending $300 on the PS3 for this game, and many other games out there, is more worth it than a PC for a mediocre (gameplay wise) game like Crysis.

                                If you ever played it, you would know. The gameplay is much improved on the PS3 version.
