I was all excited about the Challenge of the Week until they threw in that 25 cent per try bit at the end. Sony sure likes their microtransactions, don't they? Anyway, it looks like a very solid game this year. I'm probably getting it. Wish I needed a new PS3 because that Kmart deal is smoking, but sadly I need a second 360 instead.

My order from Amazon said it wouldn't arrive until 3/10, but it shipped out tonight and is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow!

Just preordered mine tonight from Best Buy to get in on the code. Probably be a week before I get it........ should have planned better and preordered it earlier, might have got it a bit sooner. Oh well, live and learn.......

Anyone get their code yet? It just says it will come via email on the Best Buy site. Just wondering how long until it comes.

And now.... Amazon has matched Best Buy's offer. $50 credit with purchase of 160GB PS3.

You do get 1 free try per week. That's weak sauce though... why even bother with quarter-ing their fan base to death?

I'd be interested in potentially reforming the league this year if we get enough interest. I know last year had its problems but I really had a blast playing in this league.

Very pumped for this year's game. I might not be picking it up til the weekend when I have more time, but I will get alot of hours in Saturday, that is for sure.

Sold!

The trophy list looks pretty shitty this year.

Newegg has the game for $49.99 shipped, if you are a subscriber to the email they send out for deals. It's in the Mardi Gras message; click on "See All Deals" and scroll down.

Cool NYT article on the work San Diego Studios did with a disabled gamer to make this game more accessable and playable for those with physical disabilities. : link

This is the first time in at least four years I haven't bought this on day one. Not enough time this year with the baby. Let us all know how you guys like the game.

Must resist The Show. You look so pretty... like such a perfect simulation... Road to the Show, you are such a great game format... must resist... will only be disappointed with all the annoying bugs and glitches and stupid manager crap in RTTS... remember, you always sell this after a month... it's just not worth it...

ALRIGHT. ONE MORE TIME. I'LL ONLY BE SUCKERED INTO YOUR WEB THIS ONE... MORE... TIME.

Dude, you sound just like me!! I can't believe I'm doing this again... but I'll be at Kmart after work getting my yearly fix... only to be disappointed (I hope not).

Baseball games are evil. I want to buy them just because it's a sign that winter is almost over. But I never play through even 1 full season before I put them down.

I played the PS3 demo in 3D and it's damn tempting this year. I was able to resist the urge last year.

Yes! I knew I could wear you down eventually!

But I just want The Show to know that if I didn't have KMart credit I wouldn't be cracking so easily this year.

Geez. Where are the reviews already? I'd love for someone to talk me out of this trip to KMart.

You'll love

* Looks and plays beautifully
* RTTS has some upgrades
* Move-based HR Derby

You'll hate

* RTTS load times are brutal
* Hitting is still really tough
* Starting to feel a bit stale

There's still only 4 though. And only one of those is worth a damn.

I guess "plays beautifully" is the most important thing... but comments like "starting to feel a bit stale" is alarming. F it... I'm still buying this but I'm NOT buying next years unless some major rework takes place.

Nick Crush, where are you dude? You should have had a half season in RTTS complete and half the bugs identified

ugh, last year was my first time playing the series and I dumped it after about a week because of the hitting. I'll be passing on it this year.
