I have received confirmation from SCEA that the PS3 demo for MLB 09 The Show is expected to be out tomorrow February 5th. Generally PSN updates at around 3pm PT. The demo is four innings long and features a rematch of the World Series with the Tampa Bay Rays at the Philadelphia Phillies. As mentioned in my community preview write-ups the demo is based on a month old build but it should be a fair representation of what to expect with the final product.

I’ll try to get up a few videos of the demo in the evening and point out some things that may have been fixed or improved upon in the near final build that I played last week vs what the demo offers. Also look for the second set of screenshots from the community preview event to be posted late tonight.

A buddy stopped by just as my download finished up so we ended up playing a 2 player game. I thought it felt similar(I loved 2008) but better than 2008. The presentation looked great and I thought the lighting effects were as cool as I had been reading from the guys who had a chance to check out the game last week. Thanks for all the writeups last weekend too Pasta, always appreciate your efforts. Go Huskies, Seahawks, and Mariners!

After playing the game, which I lost to the Rays 2-1, I thought it was very well put together. There were not many drastic changes from last year, but there were many little changes that make this game so much better than 08. By the way, the signiture style and small effects such as baggy pants, batting gloves sticking out the back pocket, and even different bat colors are touches that really add to the presentation of this game. One thng that really astonshed me was how realistic the crowd looked and moved! I had 8 K's with Cole Hamels in 4 innings, and at one point the announcers showed a screen of fans putting the K signs along the stadium ledge. I thought that was pretty cool. I can not wait to play as my favorite team when this game comes out in a month!

I have both systems too, and I just played the demo last night the main thing that I've noticed is the smoother framerate. The graphics are great, but that's to be expected. The framerate increase helps the realisim tremendously.

As far as the console wars….good god haven't we gotten past that YET? Both consoles kick ass.
The online for the ps3 isn't as good as the 360's but other then that, it's fine.

I've seen alot of grown up ps3 people say how upset they are that they can't get GTA 4 Lost and Damned for the ps3. But they have just a bit of maturity and can deal with it.
No caps, please.
Ya, Sony got screwed by that, but they gave everything they had to make sure blu -ray won the format war. So they lost the first 2 DLC's from Rockstar, but hey, they gained a movie format …..that's taking off like a lead….well you know.
They got blu-ray and that's enough, really.

I'm very glad I have a ps3 JUST for the show. Uncharted is cool, too.
I'm glad I have a 360 for Gears.
