I am an owner of both a ps3 and a 360 and when I purchased MLB 2K8 for the 360 I knew I made a mistake. For my review of how TERRIBLE 2K8 was check out the my user review page of 2K8 and you'll find out. I was fortunate enough to have the great guys at gamestop give me a giftcertificate for my return of my new copy of 2K8 being that you can only return a new item for the same item with no refunds, but they understood how terrible 2K8 was they gave me my money back. Thanks GameStop.
Now on to MLB 08 The Show. After taking back 2K8 I had a hard time finding a copy of the show at my local gamestops and a day went by until i had to drive 10 miles out of my way to find a copy. When I did I took it home and played the hell out of it. I finally new why many reviewers gave the show so many great reviews. The game is damn near perfect. The graphics where built from the ground up to utilize the PS3's power and it shows from the amazing looking crowd to the little things that pop up within the player animations. The stadiums are all done very accuratley the animations again are done smoothly and unlike 2K8 there is NO FRAMRATE ISSUES in this game what so ever. The game runs at an amazing 60 frames per second and you will fall in love with the way the game of baseball is portrayed in this title. The presentation is stellar with mayking you feel like you are watching a real baseball game on tv. The guys at sony took the good advice of "if its not broke not fix it" as regards to the gameplay. All I have to say is this game is a must buy for a baseball fan or casual fan of the sport. If you dont have a ps3 this is the soul reason to buy one because its the first time I seen a game on the ps3 thats better than anything the 360 has to offer as regards to a baseball title. Please take my word for it MLB the Show is a much better and smarter buy than the garbage they call 2K8.
Go out and buy it now you wont regret it.
