[h1]Pick Up MLB 12 The Show on PS3 and PS Vita, Save $20[/h1]
+ Posted by Tyler Vaught // Sports Product Marketing Manager

Show Fans – We’re proud to make claim that MLB The Show on PS3 is the highest-rated sports game on the market for the past 4 years. With only days left before MLB 12 The Show hits store shelves, we know many of you plan to not only pick up the PS3 version but are anxious to pick up the all-new PS Vita version as well.



One of the most important goals for us each year is to listen to our consumers and try our best to address their concerns. Over the past several weeks, we’ve heard you loud and clear – consumers who purchase both should be rewarded with a discount – and we agree. Starting on March 6th, we’ll be offering a $20 instant discount, for anyone who purchases both MLB 12 The Show on PS3 and on PS Vita, together during the same transaction at checkout. What this means is that while our standalone PS3 product retails for $59.99 and our standalone PS Vita product retails for $39.99, if you purchase both together at the same time, you’ll get them for a combined price of $79.99.

Owning both versions of the game allows you to experience the same realism of MLB 12 The Show wherever you go. On either your PS3 or Vita, you can transfer your Season, Franchise, or Road to the Show mode save files between your PS3 and PS Vita anywhere at any time through the PlayStation Network. We want as many of our consumers as possible to have that experience.

Visit your favorite retailer for more details on this limited-time offer.

[sportsjunkie]

How is the franchise mode on the game? can somebody explain to me before i buy it.

 

[elpablo21]

Might have to grab this. Heard good things about The Show in the past

I havent played purchased a baseball game since MVP

 

[da r entertainment]

Must cop a PS3 this month for this game alone 

 

[xanadu one]

i'm getting it for free from Playstation House Party this month.

 

[doublejs07]

What makes this game so good? I haven't bought a baseball game in the longest....

 

[T0INE]

What batting/pitching options do you fellas go with?

Last year I went with timing for hitting and analog for pitching. I might give pulse pitching a try this year, heard some good things about it.

@DoubleJs: MLB The Show is regarded as one of the best sports game period, yet alone baseball game that comes out on an annual basis.

 

[T0INE]

For those wondering about the game you can check out the impressions thread over on Operation Sports

FYI, there is a 5gb or 10gb install required for the MLB 12.

I'm gonna need to upgrade my harddrive soon.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

The new pitching controls

 

[woody2626]

I'll be so damn glad when EA gets the rights back so I'm not stuck plaing 2k on xbox. I'd buy a ps3 just for the show

 

[bratz dos]

May pick up later. Hope they fixed the strike zone from last year.

 

[illvine]

My Angels have been an awful hitting team for the longest, but now that we got Pujols you better believe I am scooping this up

Anybody cop yet?

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

been playing since yest.

love it!!!

about to start a diamond dynasty

 

[oo the roc oo]

I ordered mine from Bestbuy for in-store pickup.  And now I'm at work PHEENIN!!!!....like a crack addict...

 

[mrblue718]

I will be picking mines up Tonight.

 

[venom lyrix]

I've been thinking about picking up a PS3 just for this game, I can't stand that it's exclusive to 360 that's so dumb IMO. Why not make the game for 360 too, MLB 2k is so bad and boring

 

[pacmagic2002]

^^^^^^^^^^
Its a Sony Entertainment title..........Why the hell would they put it on the 360??

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]

this game looks great...time to retire mlb 10?
