PSX Extreme writes: "Let's say your traveling, do you ever have the urge to play a videogame on your handheld, but can't because it either doesn't exist or is radically different than the console version? Back in the days, handheld versions of console games were nothing like their TV counterparts. Well, that was then and this is now. One of the things we love about Sony is how they treat their MLB franchise equally across all three of their consoles. If you have either the PS2 or PS3 versions of MLB 08 and aren't sure if the PSP game is worth your money, then fear not, because it is. If you recall, last year, MLB 07 was quite the solid game of baseball for the PSP, and with all of the changes and enhancements made to this year's game, your money is well spent. Best of all, the PSP versions boasts more features than the PS2 game, which is impressive.
You see, 2K Sports' MLB 2K8 isn't a very good baseball game, especially for the PSP. So for 08, Sony could've just added a few treats here and there, puffed up the visuals, updated the rosters, and called it a day. But they didn't. Playing MLB 08: The Show makes one thing rather apparent: Sony is focused on beating down the competition to the point that it becomes written in stone, no matter what PlayStation console it may be. Sony's MLB franchise is without question the best baseball sim money can buy. When you have a handheld game that is every bit as feature rich as it's PlayStation 3 counterpart, you're doing things right."
The MLB: The Show franchise exclusively on PlayStation platforms, has driven baseball simulators to the next level with the most realistic and detailed games from the sport. Today TheGamerAccess.com is glad to announce that they have one of the Senior Producers of MLB 09: The Show with them to answer some of their questions.
Well, coming from a developer which contributed to the finest sports game I've ever played running 1080p native + 60 fps, I believe every word he's got to say.
Yeah....if there's anyone out there who still thinks bluray does nothing for gaming, read this interview and then sit in a corner and dwell.
"The fact that the PS3 is bluray supported is HUGE. The 25gb single layer and 50gb dual layer was one of the best things to happen to our game"
And just a reminder:
Gran Turismo 5: 1000 cars
Forza 3: 400 cars
So yeah.....bluray is a bit handy
I couldn't agree with you anymore. I would love the NFL license to expire for EA Sports and see what Sony can do with a football game on the PS3.
"if there's anyone out there who still thinks bluray does nothing for gaming"
There really isn't anyone who actually believes that damage control meme.
No one would be making such an asinine claim if this wasn't the first generation to have a console with less storage space than a previous gen.
I really didn't understand why people always talked so highly of The Show. Just thought is was another sports game, just with PS3 level graphics.
I decided to try the demo just to finally see what people were talking about. I was absolutely blown away by how good the game is. It was really quite a shock at what a good time I had. I don't play sports games and the last one I played had to be back in the Genesis days.
Even though I don't see myself playing The Show very much if I get it with the mind boggling number of other PS3 games coming out, will probably pick it up when it drops more in price just for the sake of how much it impressed me.

FXIII 1 blu-ray, or 4 to 5 DVD's :D
MGS4, KZ2, UnCharted 1 and 2, Heavy Rain, etc, etc. Not possible as stated on the other console.

I guess what's new is you can now add MLB 09 to your list of Dev's to talk about it. Point is, it's Dev's talking about "their" titles. Which as far as were considered. We could read it all day long. :D Makes ya proud to own such a machine.
nice interview, the game is looking great and I know there is more power on the PS3 that they can pull out.
If not THE greatest.
MLB: The Show is simply a must-have for ANY baseball fan.
This isn't opinion, it's hands-down a fact.
Sony could make an NFL franchise right now if they wanted. 2K sports has an exclusive hold on the baseball franchise rights but since The Show is not 3rd party it can be made, same with an nfl title
Professional sports have dealt with doping from track & field, to cycling, baseball, pro football, wrestling, boxing, and just about any sport you can think of. Taking that information and looking at many of athletes that have existed in the gaming world has resulted in suspicions that maybe some of these digital athletes were doping like A-Rod and the real players.
Without further ado, here are 10 game characters suspected of using "power ups" to enhance their game.
Marcus and Dom are Defiantly Injecting
All be it Each other
But them two Butch Gears are Defiantly Injecting
yeah. They do look like they are on roids.
I was laughing my ass off when i saw Mario in there
It won GameStooge's Best RPG of 2008, Best Xbox 360 Game of 2008, and Best PC Game of 2008, and it captures the overall prize. There are so many factors that made Fallout 3 so special: the look of the game, making even a post-apocalyptic desert beautiful; the theme and setting; the storyline and voice acting; the VATS system and action; the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and Karma roleplaying game elements; from beginning to end, Fallout 3 felt like an event. Kudos for Bethesda, who have the unenviable task of trying to one-up their own creation.

Fallout 3 is an amazing game. Can't wait to get this on the 360 with the exclusive DLC.
Fallout 3 certainly should get GOTY! Awesome game with so much to do and good replay value.
Homicide I also can't wait to get that DLC :) 3 in the next 3 months! Though for PC you could also get the GECK dlc which is a map editor and sounds pretty dang sweet but I don't have a gaming PC anyways
