BTW, I don't know if this is just a Wal Mart thing, but there is a coupon inside for a free MLB hat of the team of your choice. Redeem by 5/4/08.

There is a 2 gig cache to the hard drive also. Takes about 2 minutes when the game starts up.

Yeah, I already checked the Wal-Mart near my house and they didnt put them out yet... I was hoping for a monumental screwup like that but no dice. :(

ROFL actually it is a New Era hat. You can go to http://www.neweracap.com/mlb08theshow and there is a code included in the game to enter there.

There were 25 other people online on it when I just logged on.

Sorry about the quality, my digital camera is missing and my cell phone camera sucks.

Dude, didja really have to shoot your feet? Thank gawd no coworker was near me when I was scrolling down :P

With my work and social life, I don't have time to get into complex sports games (like Madden, gimme NFL BLitz 2008!) Is MLB the Show a pickup and play type game, or do I have to get all Madden on it to learn?

Lol, I didnt even notice my feet until you mentioned it. As for picking up and playing. Yes you can, and you can do the real in depth hardcore simulation that will keep the big timers playing.

So far Im up 2-0 top of the 3rd. Graphics are great, gameplay is smooth. I havent noticed any slowdown yet.

Wow, 2 GB? Only two minutes though... that's surprising. The 5 GB cache for Devil May Cry 4 takes about twenty mintues. Something's off with those proportions. :P

If you didn't know, in The Show this year, there is a new feature that allows you to save in the middle of a game, which is pretty cool. So if you do have a busy life and still want a baseball game, this is the game for you.

Awesome dude. The free hat gift has always been there since MLB 06' or 07'.

I'm getting mine at Best Buy cause I'm gonna pay it off with my Reward Zone discounts.

do you guys prefer the show over 2k games? i am trying to decide which one is the best to get. I want the one that gives you the most realistic graphics and gameplay.

I haven't played this new one yet, getting it today, but The Show has been the most realistic sports series out there for a while.
