At least it's a sports game and not Final Fantasy or something.

LOL good point

I guess it's fine that Best Buy gets exclusivity with the demo. Just a shame the game looks like crap since the PS3 is stuck on 480p while in presentation mode at Best Buy. Doesn't help either that you're literally a foot away because of the cord length. Being that close does draw your attention to alot of the flaws in the game.

But hey, who am I to second guess Sony? They must know best.

Re: New Video and Blog Entry

That's a dumb question....

it's like asking "would you drive/walk to Best Buy in the cold/snowy weather in front of a kiosk that has a controller 5 inches away from the screen and has been touched by everyone, mostly people with germs and all other kinds of viruses.

or would you stay at home, where it's warm and comfortable and you can play the demo whenever you want how many times you want before you buy the full game.

This. I don't care about the teams or the length, I just want the gameplay.

Suggesting that people would rather have no home demo, in exchange for a full game at a store we have to drive to and HOPE that when we get there nobody is playing it. Like the previous poster said, it's a crappy situation.

Home demo by far. Silly idea on your part.

The demo was going to be a VERRRRRRY early build anyway - it was going to be a build even BEFORE the Community Day Event, so I am not upset in the very least.

If anything, I believe the "demo" would have TURNED-OFF casual gamers seeing as though the build is early and they would have criticized EVERYTHING - and WE know that the FINAL build was going to ACE it all.

So, I think its a strategic marketing technique that will have SCEA prevailing in the end due to the abundance of anticipation for this game. People will buy and will LOVE!

I KNOW I WILL!!!

Bestbuy noho has the demo in now fellas and the store is empty today due to the snow. I've watched 2 cpu games and my mets have beaten the yanks 3-1 and the red sox 6-0 woohoo. Game looks great.

Here's the thing. With this exclusivity deal, I will pretty much refuse to buy anything from Best Buy about a year.

When Gamestop does exclusive deals, I refuse to buy from them as well. I now shop almost exclusively (ha) at other gaming stores. I hope to inspire others to do this too so that these aggressive, insulting, and wearisome marketing tactics backfire on the corporate giants-- even if it's just a little bit.

EDIT: For the record, I won't be buying new content from PSN for a while either!

Didn't Chris post that it's not exclusive....it's just that Sony(NOT SCEA) held up the demo ....they are still awaiting approval?
Does this mean BB and PSN get your business back?

True story: On Mauer/Garder play from the trailer, when it happened in real life I was so pissed I threw my TV remote into the wall and it shattered into about 100 pieces. As I was cleaning up the pieces, I stepped on one of the pieces and cut my foot open.

There was blood everywhere.

Where have you been?
That was a Yankees VS Twins game about 2-3 weeks before the post season. That play was in the 11'th I think....THANK GOD YANKEES WON!

Re: MLB '10: The Show Blog - Joe Mauer Trailer, Themes & Best Buy Demo

Great video!!!! Even though im a Yankees fan, that play against Gardner was awesome. Game was actually just on YES as a Yankees Classic game.

The anticipation builds with each passing day.
