Re: Does anyone have official word on the demo?
Lets look at some scary dynamics here at work:
-Sony makes The Show
-MLB 2K8 is a direct competitor to The Show
-Sony would make money on sales of both games but considerably MORE on the Show
-Sony would probably benefit/profit MORE if they released the MLB2K8 demo AFTER the actual full release of The Show to sell more copies of the Show
-Could this demo delay on the PS3 side be tied directly to 360 delay due to certain restrictions set forth by 2K Sports?
What would all this equate to?.....The actual demo of 2K8 released simualtaneously on both systems the day right before the actual retail release of 2K8? The retail release of the Show earlier than 2K8?
Im bored and going crazy?Comment

Re: Does anyone have official word on the demo?
well looks look further into the dynamics of this...because there could be more interesting angles here than The Departed!
All possible thoughts or motives... some of them actually contrasting with each other:
-2K wants to blanket release the demo uniformly on both systems to increase simultaneous exposure
-2K decides release date of demo, but Sony puts pressure on delayed release because of reasons discussed earlier with The Show
-MS doesnt want the demo delayed but respects and abides by 2ks delayed release date
-2K doesnt necessarily want the demo delayed after the release of the Show because it will hurt their direct sales....or do they?
-MS is actually putting pressure on 2K to release the demo EARLIER (anything to strategically screw with Sony's profits on their game and systems) than the hypothetical delayed Sony release and 2K is caught in middle.
-2K wants to release demo day before the actual release of retail game to stay uniform with last years approach
-2K doesnt set any restrictions of the release dates of the demos and both MS and Sony are free to release when they want....but strangely neither one released it yet after several days...why?
LOL...Im sure there's more!....I think I am going crazyComment
