MLB 2K8 downloadble content for 360 available (DVD isn't enough)

The Cool Base alternate jerseys and three minor league stadiums (that apparently couldn't fit on the disc) that 2K had promised would come at release are now available in the Xbox 360 Marketplace. Durham Bulls Athletic Park, Hadlock Field, and Legends Field are included. As previously stated these are free to download.

In an interesting twist the content is currently only available to Gold members. Even though it was intended to be included with the game and is meant to go to everyone it seems that the same restrictions placed on demos has been placed on this free content. Thus Silver members are currently unable to obtain the content that they were promised. Hopefully 2K gets on top of this issue as it was a shame that those without Live would miss out completely and it would be ridiculous that people who are connected but just Silver members would have to wait a week to get it.

Also the first pack of trading cards has gone up. In a pleasant surprise "Card Series 2? is free as well. I don't know if there is a way to see what cards are included in the pack but it's safe to assume that they're related to player movement such as adding a Johan Santana Mets card. I checked on both Santana and Erik Bedard and while Santana's card requirement was the same Bedard's was different with it now asking

Is been less than 3 years? since this gens gaming started and already devs are maxing out blu-ray's even with compression. Will be interesting to see what Microsoft does to fix the not enough space on dvd issue.

1.3 - diversions, spin and denial

the type of infinite compression your implying will be used can only do so much. Compression will get better but I think the use of textures, larger games, better sound will increase at a faster rate than 'green programming' The wii doesn't factor into this as the ps3 and 360 are next gen machines which means next gen visuals, sound, a.i whatever that thats a moot point. Its not your fault so you dont need to defend MS for a lack of foresight or even a lack of options because of what larger media was available at the time the 360 was created or planned.

With a larger media the compression hurdle does not exist so early into the 360's life. If a larger media wasn't viable at the time then fair enough, what most people want you to acknowledge bladestar is that a larger media IS better for gaming and for the development of games. Like I said its not your fault just like its not my fault my ps3 didn't come with a ds3 so I wont defend it like a newborn

Why you find it so hard to acknowledge the importance or benefits of a larger media is beyond me.

Blu ray isn't an absolute necessity, but it is a nice option to have. Ps3 has been criticized for including blu ray saying it wasn't necessary. While there are still ways to get around it, at the end of the day its still the best option. Considering ps3 price is simply a stone throw away from 360 price even with blu ray included makes the ps3 a damn good cost effective machine. Msoft should have been looking at the future a little bit more instead of their frantic race to outsell the playstation 3.

its the only game to have used 50GB on the BR disk and its just a PR spin at making you think its going to be the best game ever...OH MY GOD IT BARELY FITS ON A 50GB DISK

how the hell is the 50GB thing a pr spin? They got criticized for it and kojima had to come clear it up. He never said MGS4 will have the most content of any game ever. All he said was he wasn't satisfied because he still had to compress some things and you took it as a pr spin. Did sony or konami ever come out saying mgs is so great that blu ray can't contain it. No

The emphasis is on the DVD9 was not enough, as you can see by the contributer changing the title of the article to incite a flamewar.

It never was about the content just the chance to line-up and bash on the 360 and DVD9 because a few stupid stadiums and alternate jersies aren't on the disc.

ah, i play as many stadiums as possible in mlb the show in order to refresh the experience for me in the game. dont know what you're saying, dont ever say that to a baseball fanatic, ever.

BTW this already proves that microsoft has made a mistake this Gen, just not embedding a next gen disc drive to the console, but not making the HDD standard on their consoles, instead releasing a core system just to compete with a last gen console which sold over 120million in its lifespan instead of concentrating on this gen against the PS3. They better clarify their mistakes next-gen, especially their Hardware defects.

It's quite funny how this post is listed as only being under the 360. Yet, this is where the PS3 fanboy party is going on. It's funny to know you guys have no lives..

And, don't try to twist it.. If this was listed as being under the 360 and PS3 category then it'd be different. But, it's not, and all that means is that you guys have nothing better to do than to troll around. Yea, I said nothing better to do.. Where's all those GREAT PS3 games at that you've all been mentioning and saying "this is PS3's year!" Yea? Don't seem like it..

If this was "the PS3s year" then why not be in the PS3 area? It must not be so great after all.. It's all lies to keep you *waiting.*

5.2 - Hmm, interesting point @ CrefLo DoLLar.....

But couldn't the same be said about you, not having anything to do so your on here trying to defend the 360 for something that is obviously kinda jacked up?

I mean if your going to point the finger then you should look at yourself too don't you agree, not to mention that the open zone is for any comment, if this was the game zone then your point would hold more water. I have seen you in PS3 only news take advantage of this fact yourself very frequently so I don't even get the point of your complaint.

So then sir I could turn your statement against you and ask you the same question, "Yea, I said nothing better to do.. Where's all those GREAT 360 games at that you've all been mentioning and saying "the 360 has a superior library of games that constantly gets better" Yea? Don't seem like it......"

Wow, seems like your statement actually applies to you and your console of choice very well.

Good day sir.

@ XBREAK3FIXME:
That is a poor generalization sir, not all rap and hiphop is about violence or negativity, you really should expand your views. That's like saying if your a white male you should go murder people as a serial killer since most serial killers tend to be white males, does it make it correct or accurate.

Poor generalization sir.

Not as an indication that DVD9 is becoming insufficient for the size of games as time passes but an indication that the creators of MLB 2k8 are being too ambitious and should tone it down as more content is not needed.

Astonishes me the way people can rationalize a bad situation.

Also, show me where I've been mentioning all of those "great Games" on the x360.. It's all opinion based on what's good and what's not. It's all opinions on what's a good genre and what's a bad genre. Opinions. So I don't say what games are going to be good or which are going to suck.. before they are out.

I think I pretty much called you out, but for good measure let me direct you to one of your more recent comments on news that had nothing to do with the 360, just click this link.
http://n4g.com/NewsCom-1179...

Nice, hope you enjoy the taste of foot in your mouth.

The one thing I guess you didn't do was directly try to defend the 360 on this post, and realistically after the post I have included above I see why you resorted to complaining about the open zone rather than contribute something to the issue. Quite honestly for you to try to do anything other than completely ignore this post would have made you look like more of an ill informed fanboy than you portray naturally, so kudos to you for that insight.

So I apologize for saying that you were defending the 360 when you didn't, however it is really funny that you try to call people out for something you do yourself as I pointed out above. So I guess in the end my comment still holds, good try tho man. A for effort.

Look I know it has it's problems, well mine hasn't, but you can't deny it doesn't have good games. And, plus I bought mine before the RRoD was every PS3 fanboys "argument." And, yet, MY 360 still hasn't had a problem and RIGHT NOW has the better games.. So I don't see how the 360 is the "wrong console" to own.. At least I'm getting everything from BOTH consoles unlike some people.. Ah, well. I pity you. =]

14 - well some will say

the average life cycle is 5 years

2nd year for the 360 is looking likes it last good one. You can stick with your 360 but just know your getting left behind day by day and when the shoe drops around Nov 09 dont be mad that MS just cut you off again.

MS has made no inroads in taking Nintendo's or Sonys postion in terms of fan base

Let me flame this up real good

im bored

MS has seen a steady decline in sales year2year of the xbox b4 it and the 360 today. They did spike sales with Halo3. I remember 400,000 Sold in NA that month or two. A spike of 250,000 at the time.
The 360 is not far ahead of the xbox pace and the fact you had a year head start and still couldnt outsell the PS3 in 07 was just the first sign your system if lame. with AAAAAAAgames and a better price point!!! YEA THATS RIGHT you fre3fixme dipsh!ts listen up

If we see any increase in PS sales from last year till this year and your fre3fixme sells less then your Halo3 year this war will be over.

The PS3 will regain the Crown and will give us the best and most advanced games you can get on a game system. With a free online comunnity and a system that never breaks
