    Nah dude, you are not crazy. The PS3 is now 299 which is a good deal. Plus this game is pure crack and a must buy if you are a baseball fan.

    Congratz on your purchase.

            Well done mate. Seriously you won't regret it. This is a great time to be a ps3 owner, and The Show just makes that all better. $299 is very reasonable, as it works out at more in the UK I think.

            I've had the game since it came out, and even if I've been concentrating on another game, The Show has always grabbed my attention for 3 or 4 games a week.

            Been playing it a lot the last few weeks and enjoying it more than ever. It's rare that a game is so good that it gets better after a few months.

              Well, I just turned 31 yesterday and this is a great game that I try and play once a day.

              Jim and the other guy, I think it's awesome that you guys are in your 60's and enjoy the games as much as you do.

                    Nothing to feel crazy about. I never thought I would do the same, well in a way I didn't. My wife surprised me with one just after baseball season started. I have since bought other games for the system, but still primarily play this game on it though. It is a great game and if there is any game ever made that warrants a purchase of a new system just for it, this game is as close as it comes IMO. So much depth and replay value. I still haven't done much in RTTS after thinking that was where I would spend my time because I have bought the PSP version over the years and that is all I played on the PSP. But the franchise mode is so good in the PS3 version it is all I ever want to play.

                      Anybody who buys a PS3 just for the game isn't crazy. If you love baseball, this is the game for any baseball fan. I'm getting a PS3 next year for 2010 The Show, but also getting other PS3 games & putting my music & videos.

                        Nuts? You're nuts like a fox maybe.

                        I'll probably do the same next summer when I have more time to play if, as expected, MLB 10 is just as good or even better than 09.

                        I just can't take any more of that 2k crap. It's disheartening, really, to play such a flawed game knowing I paid $50 for it (got a deal).
                        It's on me. I shook his hand too hard. It was a hard ... kind of a slap-shake.

                          Hey, April 8th, 2008, had turned 40 on February 11th, got into my little truck, drove 180 miles roundtrip to buy my PS3 and The Show 08. I too will say that it was more than worth it, and I too wondered what in the hell was I doing.

                          Come to think of it, I have never heard a person come back after owning the system and game for awhile and say "Man I screwed up, what in the hell did I just do that for?"

                          Oh, and it only gets better. Be sure to download Knight's Classic Roster sets. Those roster sets make this game like Super-Crack.

                              I only bought a videogame system for The Show and Madden, and after Madden 2009, I have no problem having only bought it for The Show now.

                              Amazing game.
