MLB '10: The Show Demo Has Been Submitted, Waiting on Sony, Not SCEA

[miamimarlins1]

This is very disappointing. I know the Show Support Brigade will want to hang me for this one, but this year has been pretty lame in regards to marketing, interaction, and game hype. I am a huge Show fan and will definitely be purchasing this game, but it seems like the wheels are coming a little loose on this franchise

I don't understand the first part of the post. Are you saying the lack of a PSN demo and the BB display are or are not related?

Surely it's irrelevant whether the game at the kiosks are full games or demos. If they are given an exclusive right to display the game earlier, surely a home playable demo would dampen the enthusiasm to rush down to their store to play it, thus decreasing their sales.

I just wish someone would come out and answer the question about whether the demo was delayed for Best Buy's benefit. If that's the case, and we weren't told about it, I think it would be poor move on Sony's part.

I agree with everything except for "the wheels are coming loose on this franchise".

This year just seems was not hyped by the company. It seems like they aren't even that excited about the game, and I honestly am a lot less excited than I was last year. This time last year I was literally calling every store in my area to see who had it early. As it stands now, I may not get the game for a couple weeks.

If that is true, then they surely would not admit it, especially considering it would make them look bad.

It seems that way. Atleast Best Buy can sell it early if they expect you to go down to their store, wait in line and get to try it out for a few minutes instead of at home on your couch. Sony is seriously dropping the ball.
