      This is a tough call - I have been on the fence about going with a PS3 or sticking with 360 and 2K. I mildly enjoyed the demo, then I saw 2K on sale for $45 so i did it.

      My feeling is, yes it's basically the same as the demo, except you don't realize how dull it is until you start playing it frequently. Playing the demo for 3 innings you tend to forgive a lot of things, and you accept that you don't have sliders to adjust, etc.

      Once you start doing 9 inning games, it gets really old really fast. Even the pitching, which seems cool at first, isn't that big of a deal once you get used to it. And the presentation really is lame. Just my 2 cents.

        I never had the demo to compare it to so I can't help you there. Something to keep in mind is that 2K is releasing a patch which should be up on XBox Live any day now. At this point, we know that patch is supposed to address the stuttering frame rate issue but nothing has been said if that's all they are fixing in the patch. Although, I thought that a mod posted something a few days ago on here indicating the patch was "extensive", which would lead you to believe that they fixed much more than the frame rate issue.

        The game is dull at times, but I really enjoy playing it. If I squint really hard and just leave my eyes open ever so slightly, I can handle the deplorable graphics and lighting. Like I said, I enjoy the gameplay on the field so that's all that matters for me.

          The full game is way better than the demo.Mainly cause you can tweak the sliders.The demo sucks cause your most likely playing on the Pro difficulty, plus the A.I throws 99.9% strikes if you don't lower the A.I pitching sliders(you can't mess with any sliders in the demo).

          I'm using BigFNJoe's sliders with some tweaks of my own and I'm loving the game.I haven't played The Show since I got 2k8(I bought 2k8 the day after it was released).

            My feelings exactly....I tried to play 2k8 again last night to give it another chance but after 5 innings I couldn't take it anymore. I turned it off and fired up the Show and felt better Im hoping next year will be the year since Brinkman stated this is a 3 yr process and next year will be year 3.

                Hey, since you have both, do you think the Show is so much better that it justifies a PS3 purchase? I just put 2K8 up on ebay so now I'm feeling baseball withdrawl.

                  A PS3 purchase can be justified for more reasons than just The Show. Its a very impressive piece of hardware.

                      I've been playing the demo a little. I do like the "spacing" in the field and I think the player models are decent. I don't like how small the text is. Still don't know how I feel about the pitching and hitting systems. I'm probably going to rent it once the patch comes out and give it a try.

                        I agree with JT that there is more to the PS3 then the show. But if you are a huge baseball fan, like myself, you will not be disappointed with the show. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is very realistic. And they have guys like Jim and Knight busting there asses to give us realistic minor league rosters (hopefully soon).
