Maybe if we had a date of any kind that would be plausable, but how long should i wait, a week, two weeks?

You are the buyer, you have the options and make the decisions.

If it is important to you to get the game asap and you don't want to wait, then you can rent it if you don't want to wait for the demo.

Really, I think we are all pretty lucky to be getting a Demo

I am getting MLB 10 with or without a demo, but pretty lucky to get a demo? The console world for PS3 and 360 have only helped themselves out most of the time when releasing a demo.

It gets those people who are on the fence to decide and newcomers to jump on board. So to say we are lucky to get a demo I think is the wrong perspective.

if $60 is vital, then I would expect that one would wait as long as it takes to be sure to make a sound, informative decision.

Maybe if we had a date of any kind that would be plausable, but how long should i wait, a week, two weeks? Not one mention was even made of the deal with Best Buy and what effect it would have. Its called setting the expectation of the consumer which they have done by releasing the demo at least two weeks before release.

You're not going win in this forum. This place is littered with Show apologists. The funny thing is if 2K pulled this stunt, we would be calling for their heads. And what really has me pissed is this smells like crap because of this Best Buy deal. SCEA will be blindly defended around here, and maybe there is some reason for this considering how great of a company they are. But like I said before this year just feels different and maybe I'm paranoid of what the future holds for SCEA; but this could be all related to me reading Animal Farm too many times.

if I were you, I'd leave now before you turn into one as well. Everyone knows that Show apologists are just like zombies, once they get to you, you become one of them.

Your missing the point, it just seems a bit assumptive to assume that consumers want to drive to a buisness buddy to play demo. The precedence has been established of having a demo pre-release so when guys wonder where it is, i dont see that as a huge stretch.

isn't just as assumptive to assume that just because the demo isn't out before release that there must be some ulterior motive behind the decision?

Trust me I'm half way there. I think I'm just venting my frustration because I was so jacked up to play this demo today and this weekend. And what has me even more pissed is that every year I take off from work the 3 days after release and of course this year my HR department has my 2 new analysts starting next week and I can't take off and have them staring at their computers for 3 days while I'm home playing the Show

I agree, I don't think there IS anything wrong with questioning where the demo is.

But that question has been answered, by a dev team that has never given any reason to be doubted.

Yet regardless of that, people don't believe their explanation and are coming up with theories that this was some sort of a back handed intentional move.


Does anyone have a good reason to believe that they are lying about submitting the patch and waiting on Sony to release it?

You need to get over it and relax and just enjoy life. But that is the Show apologist in me!

This is not hard to figure out people. Both Sony and SCEA SD both took responsibility. There is no "hidden motive" or "conspiracy". Instead you want to piss and moan about what-ifs.

Ramone said they were working on fixing up more bugs before it hit, thus working on the demo was done later this year.

Jason Villa said the demo was finished and approved I believe last Friday (the 19th). That was only 6 days ago. Sony is not going to just put it in front of the list for today when other games and information for the PSN update were already on a schedule (like the G-d of War 3 demo today). It has to wait and go through the process like anything else.

The game is not going anywhere. You don't have to "buy it on release" if there is no demo right away.

There is no entitlement here people. The sooner you realize that, the better off you will be in life. Or it will be one disappointment after another.

First!!
Very disapointed!! > <

Second!...i think it is all business!!
best buy has the authority for the demo(or final build)
then $ony could make more money!!
Plus
the 2K releases the demo on 3/4
that's all $ony's strategy....

i do not blame the SECA
but the $ony..... you...have no respect for people who live out side the us..

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

Do companies ever admit when they put profit ahead of consumers? I mean come on its not hard to connect the dots. The first year there is no pre-release demo there just happens to be this exclusive deal with Best Buy. Yea im sure its all just random dumb luck and maybe to some it doesnt matter and theres nothing wrong with that. I as a consumer just dont like being taken for granted that regardless their going to get my money.

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

Its not like Best Buy has the demo version of the game people...They have the FULL GAME! even if there was a PR deal with Best Buy, why would that effect the release of the demo just showing gameplay...and ask yourself what they have to gain by lying to us? many of us have already paid for the game. It's like a bunch of high school kids in here trying to throw all kinds of crazy thoughts and ideas around...it goes back to what enigma said, lose the sense of entitlement.
