10:48 AM - February 4, 2009 by Senor_Herbatron

Pasta Padre has the scoop.

	"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."

Man...I wish I could get ATT here. (it's still not available in my area

)

anyway, yeah...a ton of people downloading at once can kind of clog up the servers causing slow down. It's a lot like traffic (think of rush hour or a bottle-neck on a freeway), if too many are there, things slow down as the bandwitdth is kinda pushed too hard.

I know it took a LOOONG time to get 08 downloaded near release, but when my buddy downloaded it much later to try it out it was much quicker.

I'm sure there is someone who could maybe explain it much better than me (not an computer wiz by ANY stretch

), but that's about the jist. Hope that made sense...lol

I hope we can play and just click restart right after to just keep going

# 127 Stormyhog @ 02/04/09 10:34 PM

Well tomorrow will be a busy day for me with the MLB The Show demo, Killzone 2 demo, and the Home patch, can't wait.

Damn I'm in class tomorrow until 3 CST then I have to work till 11, at least I dont have school or work on Friday

# 129 Diablo25 @ 02/05/09 08:56 AM

So when exactly is this thing dropping? I have heard noon, but is that EST?

# 130 J-Unit40 @ 02/05/09 09:08 AM

If it's like the rest of or most of the PSN demos, it should be out around 6:00-7:00PM EST

# 131 countryboy @ 02/05/09 09:13 AM

if its noon, I would imagine its noon PST, meaning 3 o'clock for the EST folks.

Hey everybody,

Two questions for you if you wouldn't mind helping a newbie to PS 3 out:
1) Last night I set up my account for the PS Store and downloaded NCAA Basketball to test how long it would take. It took like 3 hours. To me that's ridiculously long BUT how long does it take ya'll to download demo's? The file was only 1228 MB and I have a cable modem so I think it is time for a call into the cable company, ha ha. But what do ya'll think with your own experiences?

2)Have we found out a definite time of the release time for The Show demo today?

Thank you all!!!

3 hours, lol. You should have the Show demo completely downloaded just around release time!

That is way too long, are you wireless or wired?

Ha ha ha that is too funny. I thought it was odd. It was a wired connection. I never have had a problem with the Internet on my desktop computer (Downloading songs). It usually flies but last night it was crawling for that download. I figure for a 1228 MB file it should only take seconds. Right?

Thanks again Nemesis!! Have you heard any updates on what time the demo is being released?

1) I would say that if your wireless is slow, see if you can get your hands on a long ethernet cable and plug it directly into your PS3. This might speed up the process. I have a 100Ft ethernet cable just in case I have problems with my wireless

2) Ive been hearing around these forums that they will release the Demo at around 12pm PST which equates to 3PM EST. For me it doesnt matter. I dont get home from work until around 7pm EST so I hope it is out by then.

Oh ok. Perfect. Call me a dork, but last night before I went to bed I made sure my controllers were fully charged today. Crazyness just for a demo. I love it

I am thinking we will see it around 6 or 7 pm eastern.

I would try to download another demo to see if it was a fluke.
