MLB 09: The Show - The System Seller?

[BuccaneerFan]

MLB '08 The Show and MLB '09 The Show are the only games I own for PS3. So yes, it was a system seller for me. Although the Blu-Ray player was a big factor too.

It can be a system seller for the hardcore baseball fan with a nice wallet. It can certainly be a system seller for those that haven't made the leap to next gen yet and like baseball. For exclusive sports gaming fans (dying breed), the PS3 offers every choice + the Show.

Count me in as well- new PS3 last week for this game- probably wouldn't have done it without the PS3 Card offer for $300 off- but even so, I only considered because of The Show.

It was a system seller for me! Didn't really care for any other games on the ps3 other than the show!

I bought a PS3 last year for The Show 08. A year later I still only own 2 PS3 games- The Show 09 and Killzone 2.

As a hardcore gamer, my 360 is my console of choice. As a hardcore baseball fan, my PS3 was worth every penny extra just to play The Show.

If it isnt a "system Seller" it is certainly a huge contributor to the cause giving sony another excellent exclusive to go along with blu-ray.

the 360 is a great machine, with some ncie exclusives, but recently, sony has come out with some nice exclusives of its own:

The show
Hot shots golf
uncharted
Killzone 2
Warhawk
Little Big Planet
Resistance
Gran Tourismo 5
God of War 3

and those are just the SCEA games... meaning they will always be exclusives(unlike say final fantasy or bioshock)

If you are a hardcore sports gamer, and a fan of baseball, then HECK YES this is a system seller.

'08 is what got me to purchase a PS3 last year (was holding off on more price drops but could not wait any longer). And '09 even more so.

It was one of the best gaming decisions I have made in a long time. The PS3 has come a long way with their firmware updates, and is one heck of a multi-media device. And Blu-Ray is stellar.

Not to mention it has some darn awesome first party games as well. As other mentioned already, a darn fine list.

Phenomenal machine, and worth every penny. ESPECIALLY for the best baseball game ever created (IMO).

That was my thought process. I am exclusively a sports gaming fan, that is almost all I buy. I live on these boards just obviously never post. I can get every sports title I want for the PS3.
