Making the Jump to a PS3 and The Show

[adembroski]

MVP 05 is my baseball fix even today. I can't bring myself to purchase a PS3 for the sake of one game.

This game was the sole reason I traded in my 360 and ALL of it's accesories(sp.). Still very happy about the decision since all I play is sports games. The Blu Ray feature also make this the BEST DVD player in my house!

All I will say is the Show is worth the purchase of a PS3. If you like Baseball, then you will not be disappointed with the Show. It is baseball!

I already have the playstion 3 and I think the show is one of the greatest baseball games out.

I have a ps3; I'm a huge sports fan, but not the biggest baseball fan. I enjoy playing baseball games on occasion, and I think watching baseball is decent. I have MVP 05 for ps2 and had a lot of fun with it. Would it be worth spending 45-60$ on the show 08?

I think if you are wanting to get a Blu-Ray player like Caley was after and if you also happen to be a baseball fan, then a PS3 with The Show is a definite no brainer. It's hard to recommend purchasing a ~$400 system for just one game, but I think The Show is close to being a system seller. Couple The Show with MGS4 and you have definite system selling power on your hands

Great article. If one of my "friends" hadn't borrowed my playstation 2 and never gave it back, I'd still be playing the show (and my pitching career) on the last ps2 version I had. It's just a great game, and like you said, their appreciation of the game itself, and some of the minute details therein, is what really separates it. I'm glad that even though I'm primarily a 360 guy, I listened to everybody and didn't buy 2k8...

I hear ya...I have a 360...When i got the 360 i sold away my XBox to get it. i have been so dissappointed with 2K's baseball games i got my brothers XBox from him because it was collecting dust and i went out and bought MVP 2005 for $3.99 and NCAA MVP 2006 for $2.99...best $7 i have spent in awhile and the games are still better than any of the recent 2k baseball games.

Its sucks that 2k baseball is the only baseball game i can keep pick but im glad that somebody is taking over the 2k9 baseball development. Too bad i cant afford ps3 because right now my money savings is going to buy my first HDTV on monday.

Welcome to The Show and PS3 family

[computerlover]

I got both the ps3 and the 360 early in the game. and i find myself playing the ps3 more for the show. I got a SHARP AQUOS 46" 1080p in feb, (for all those who can part with it.. i got it off of QVC for 395 per month for 5 months, this included the 140 for the extend warranty and delivery, and just made the last payment last week woo hoo!!)

back to topic, i love the show both game play, and visuals, there is no comparison using he hdmi cable and running the tv @ 1080p... man oh man if other sports games look like this, and play like it?? wow!1

i think many would agree that 2k8 is the worst game of 2k's baseball

I have to disagree, MLB 2k5 and 2k6 are the worst games I have ever played.

Triple Play 2002 is near that list... if we're going back that far.

To the person who is thinking of switching from MVP 05, remember (and I made this mistake at first), there are things that you can do in MVP 05 that you can't anymore (and vice versa). But in other ways, it plays very similar, so you should be very satisfied. I know I am.
