great post there guru.

i too got a ps3 last year for the show AND pro yakyuu spirits(that konami japanese baseball game)

And for me the ps3 is great when march 3rd comes along from now on BECAUSE OF the show period.

Like you i thought 2k8 was total garbage. unplaybale unwatchable and just plain ugly.

this years 2k9 just looks so much better has a better feel to it overall BUt the omissions to the edit mode and the strike zone meter might kill it for me if i can not get something that i can get accustomed too. living rosters were a complete joke for nba 2k9 and if they think they'll be better for mlb 2k9 then we got another thing comin'...
