Is this game worth buying a PS3?

[ram29jackson]

if you already like baseball, this game is very worth-it, very....

great game play and every nuance and subtlety possible... well, at least a alot anyway haha

 

[.RoCkEtS1]

Yes. [/thread]

 

[TheSanchize]

I just think you hate 2K. There is no way that this game is worse then last year. And you started off ranting about it and now you hate it? come on man..what are you a politician? With all your flip-flopping I would say yes.

 

[Lumpkin]

lol I just did this today, bought a PS3 and the show. If you got the money to spend and you really want its worth it

 

[LC AAU]

If some of my friends had PS3 I'd be on a full time switch. The Console is great, and so is the show.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

PS3 is worth it for many many more reasons than The Show, but The Show is a great reason to justify it yes.

If I had a nickel for everytime I saw this type of thread...

i bought a ps3 so i could play the show. i love baseball games though. So for me it was worth it. But i love having a ps3 and a 360. You get the best of everything by owning both systems.

both systems have pros and cons. But having both eliminates the cons. And the ps3 has alot of pros...one of them being mlb the show

Be sure to get into a league here on VSN when you get The Show. TGS is amazing from what I hear.

 

[BuccaneerFan]

MLB The Show + Blu-ray movies = a no-brainer. Go buy it. Now.

I bought my PS3 strictly to play The Show when the PS3 hit the streets. I have NEVER regretted that purchase.

Up until last year the ONLY game I owned for this system was The Show. I broke down and bought Hot Shots Golf on eBay. The Blu-Ray is very nice.

If you have it hooked up to an HD TV with a nice surround sound system you are set!

Enjoy!

Well, I have the game, and I have a 480P 65'' TV, and it looks absolutely :turrible: on my TV. It is fuzzier then a cup of milk and cookies on a Sunday Night. FML

Do you have HDMI cables? When I got my PS3 last year I thought it looked bad but then I realized my PS3 didn't come with HDMI cables.

 

[Maynard]

hdmi cabel will cost alot at those types of stores. your better off ordering one online.

your tv only supports 480p....or is that cause your using the cables that came with the ps3?

 

[Maynard]

when you say it has a stand are you saying its one big huge unit....like a big giant box?

if it has an hdmi jack on it then it should support at least 480p, 1080i and 720p

when you setup the ps3 did you tell the ps3 all the resolutions your TV supports? the ps3 will optimize for all the numbers you entered.....like 480i, 480p, 720p 1080p, 1080p

mine doesnt support 1080p which is the best

you should post the model of the TV...or google it to find out what it supports

 

[LopaKa]

i did, definitely worth it

 

[Maynard]

Yeah, it's one unit.

When I setup the PS3, I didn't touch the settings, although, they were at 480 originally.

It said it can play at 1080, but it's on 480 now, and it's really fuzzy.

that looks exactly like my TV...mine is a hitachi though and a 57 inch....u said u had toshiba. if that is your tv and is a hitachi i know it supports 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i....no 1080p but thats ok cause most games play at 720p

those crappy cables your got with the ps3 wont look any better....you have to get component or hdmi cables. Also, my TV hdmi port sucks ass. i was using hdmi for the ps3 and i would get screen shifts and color blur while using anything i had hooked thru hdmi (360, ps3 or cable box)....hopefully yours doesnt have that problem with hdmi

ok, so you need to buy component (red, white, green, blue and red) or an hdmi cable.

you need to go into the ps3 settings and tell the ps3 the different resolutions your TV will support....check all boxes that apply.

When u get that cable its going to look 100 times better.

sidenote....the ps3 is kind of tricky to switch cables. when you switch resolutions it does this thing where the TV will be totally black. there is a way to do it so you can see what your doing

people here know how, i dont and had to do it the hard way.

my tv was using an hdmi for the ps3...then i switched to component and the screen went black so i couldnt tell the ps3 that i was using a new cable.

lucky for me i kept my hdmi plugged in and also the new component cable at the same time. I just switched my input selection on my tv so i could see the hdmi input, then tell the ps3 i was using component

 

[Maynard]

here i found this for you.....when u switch the cables, the screen will go black....here is how to work around this

Have you tried this?

1 - Turn on TV and set input to port being used.
2 - Make sure PS3 is connected via correct cable.
3 - Power on PS3 via power button and HOLD IT for 5 seconds (release after the second beep). It should automatically configure your PS3 to the TV's native resolution for all settings.

again, after your do this, make sure you goto the sytem settings and look for the video option to tell the ps3 the resolutions your tv supports

I hated baseball... thought I always would, when My friend got a PS3 he had the Show 07... I played it and was instantly hooked, I like baseball now, and love this game, so if you already like baseball your in fucking heaven. I sold my first PS3 and got a 360 Elite etc...Played 2K for 6 hours and then sold it on craigslist, that game is hot garbage. I went out a week later and bought my 2nd PS3 and the Show.

:elephant:

 

[Maynard]

no problem...if u run into trouble just post in here but you should be ok...go get that cable so you can see how great this game really looks

 

[Maynard]

yep. The cable you have isnt HD and will only support 480.
you wont be able to tell the ps3 the resolution your tv supports until you get the new cable

from the ps3 dash (XMB)
goto settings>>>Display Settings>>>Video Output Settings

then from here you will select the cable you have....since you only have composite, you dont get 720p and 1080i right now
