Sony has announced that a demo for MLB '08: The Show will be available for download for the PSP and PS3 tomorrow (February 14th).

Time to tell your significant other that the Valentine's Day dinner plans will have to wait.

Yes, in the PS3 dashboard you go to the Playstation store and it will be there in the demos section (also in the latest stuff section).

Oh sweet baby Jesus.

So glad I only work until 2:30 tomorrow. Now the question is, will the demo download as quickly now that the PS3 is upstairs as it would have downstairs? I'd hate to plug in the ethernet cable, just because in order to go wireless again I would have to re-input the settings.

Wait, forgive me for being an idiot. You can be wireless with your PS3? I have wireless at home, so I figured I'd have to drag the PS3 into the room with the cables.

Yes, all 3 of the next gen consoles can go wireless, but you need a wireless adapter for the PS3 or the 360.

So long as you don't have the 20 gig version you should be good to go for wireless (assuming that isn't going to be the issue if you bought recently).

?

Are you talking about more than having a wireless router hooked up? I'm not familiar enough with the 360's to know how they work, but I didn't need anything for my PS3 (60 gig version) to connect. So far as I've read, that should go for any PS3 other than the 20 gig.

The 60gb PS3 model has wireless built in, you don't need anything else besides a wireless network already setup in your home.

I thought the PS3 required a wireless adapter to connect without a CAT cable. I stand corrected as it is only the 20 GB model that doesn't have built in wireless connectivity.

I have the 40gb and it comes with wireless - I would assume the 80gb does as well.

If you have a 40 GB, 60 GB or 80 GB model, wireless capabilities are built into the system. You simply have to have an available wireless network to connect to.

If you have the 20 GB model, then like the Xbox 360, you must have a wireless adapter of some kind to connect to the system in order to be wireless.

My 60 GB PS3 is natively connected to my wireless network, but I could also plug in my ethernet cable for a hardwired connection.

I've the 40 gb I think... and I just tried to connect to the PS3 store and it said "No ethernet cable connected". So I guess mine doesn't have wireless built in, that blows.

yeah you have to change the default setting from wired connection to wireless. i'm not by my ps3 at the moment or i'd walk you through it, but i did both of ours and it was extremely simple.

You have to go into network setup and tell it to look for a wireless network, yes.

Ok, I'm with, or was with, Shorty on this one. I have no clue what version I have, all I know is that it's not the 80. Where do I need to go to do this "activate to wireless deal"? I get the ethernet is not connected message.

Not trying to take away from the thread here, just don't feel like starting a new one. I found that go wireless deal, now i'm getting a message on my computer saying an IP address is in conflict with my server, or something like that, and I can't do the system update on my PS3. Any suggestions?

I'm not a tech expert, but I would guess one of two things are to blame here.

1) You don't have a router, and your computer is online when you try to connect with the PS3. The two of them are fighting for the IP address assigned by your ISP, rather than each getting their own IP address within the subnet, and then having the router mask those addresses.

2) You don't have the PS3 set to automatically get its IP address, but rather have somehow assigned it an address manually that's in conflict with another device on the network.

Those'd be my guesses.

I made an honest mistake as I thought the PS3 required a wireless adapter like the 360 does. Unlike you who has a constant pattern of making calculated posts with snippets of info that paint your position of Pro PS3 in the best light while occasionally posting a pro Wii or Pro 360 article just in a clumsy attempt to appear unbiased.

Dola, the PS3 demo is up too, but the playstation store front page is not updated, so you need to go to game demos, then select the letter M and there you can see MLB the show 08 demo.

Perfect time to download it as most of people won't start until it appears in the store front page!

Double dola (am i the only playing this?)

The PSP demo is awesome, only played 2 innings so far while i wait for the PS3 demo to download, but i'm impressed, it's way smother than 07 and the presentation is top notch. The players models look even better than past year, and it's incredible how good this looks knowing the PSP hardware limitations.

Triple dola, OMFG the PS3 version is increeeedible!

Graphics are a huuuuuge upgrade from 07, and the batter and pitcher analysis screens are awesome, for example, for pitchers you can see where they have thrown every ball, if it was a ball, strike or hit, etc. (this is in both the PSP and PS3 versions).

Can't wait for the release day.

Pretty awesome that the AI can engage in player substitutions in the demo, but the human player can't. No access to the bench or the bullpen.

The pitching interface is a little different, too. You pick your pitch with X, O, triangle, square or R1, but after you've done that, you THEN get to pick your location and use the X button to throw the pitch. A little backwards from how it's been done in the past.

Not a fan of the implementation of Sixaxis on the fielding controls just yet. I had guys run right over the tops of balls they should have been able to field, and I'm wondering if it's because I didn't do the dive shake on the controller.
