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

[Blitzburgh]

I played the demo again at Best Buy today and I am content on waiting until it's released. It's not a big deal to me as I still like 09 a lot. The game is very similar but with better ball physics, camera angles and animations. Plus the added stuff we already know about. It is obvious though that the reason we aren't playing the demo is due to the best buy having the game exclusively to show off. Is it really that hard to understand?

And I did not even quote you....I quoted Countryboy, who said I was suggesting they were lying to us....

Anyway. Sony should be confident in their product enough to release a demo ahead of time, rather than after the game comes out, which seems like a waste of time. I bet they get more fans if they release the demo a week or so before the game releases, then they would releasing the demo after the game comes out even if it means minor tweaks look better.

First...The Show wouldn't be the first game to launch a demo after the retail version has dropped. Uncharted 2 anyone? I'm certain Sony was confident in that game.

Second...you have to understand that a demo is released for those who are not 100% sure if they are buying the game or not. The demo's purpose is to bring in extra dollars/sales. Its true intention and reason isn't for us, who are diehard fanatics who are buying the game regardless, to get a chance to play the game before it releases.

I understand what everybody is saying on both sides, but I feel everyone is missing one simple part of the equation. This is our crack, specifically my crack, I have been using this 09 crack all year. Now someone is offering me new crack for 10. I must have my crack and I need a sample of the new crack to tide me over until I can get my full fix. I think everybody getting grumpy over the demo is that they just need a fix. Detox sucks and we all just need a fix to get through it.
