The gameplay is really fun, I really enjoy that aspect of it.

The functionality of the franchise mode has some bugs, but you learn how to get around it.

Overall, I’d give it a 8 out of 10, because I’m capable of coming back to it day after day.

and its glitchy.

but it plays solid baseball. for people who have a ps3 the show is better, but 2k8 plays a good enough game of baseball to be worth a purchase for people who want a current baseball game and have only a 360.

PS3 has one significant advantage in the fact that it offers a blue ray DVD player. I’ve always thought PS is/has been a better platform for sports/racing games and Xbox for first person shooter/adventure games. But we currently have a PS3 and 360 at the house and the PS3 does nothing but collect dust. But I’m more of the sports/racing gamer and love the 360 and I’d say you can’t go wrong with either.

as already said, the PS3 offers a blu ray player too, so that means you can start watching movies in high def. It’s the first 2.0 profile player on the market through the latest firmware update.

As well, all PS3s come standard with a hard drive while some 360 models (at least in the past, maybe still currently) did not. Thus, all games for PS3 are made to incorporate the ability to use the hard drive too.

Also, going forward technology wise, the PS3 with it’s use of blu ray discs for games vs the 360 which still uses DVDs offers more in terms of depth of games in the future where blu ray single layer discs hold 25 GB, with some games already using the double layer 50 GB discs. Meanwhile, the 360 is capped at the 9 GB DVD discs. Some games are already having to chop content (such as MLB2k8) from the disc due to space concerns on the 360 (While they are offered as a download on the xbox store compared to already on the disc on ps3). As far as the processors, the cell processor of the PS3 is barely even being tapped currently and offers loads of room for growth still.

Also, it depends on the games you want. 360 offers Halo as it’s main exclusive, however even that seems to be fading a bit since Call of Duty 4 has overtaken it in terms of online play by a significant margin. PS3 meanwhile has the new Metal Gear Solid 4 coming out in June and the latest installment of Final Fantasy out late this year. Plus in terms of shooters, Resistance is roughly equivalent to Halo, although still was in first generation and wasn’t quite to Halo level. Most games though are released on both these days sans certain exclusives both ways. Plus racing wise, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue just got released for the PS3 which is kind of a deeper beta with the full version of the game coming out early next year.

I’ve got a PS3 while my bro has a 360. It all depends on you really, although if I were to do it again, I’d still get the PS3. There is a huge difference in blu ray compared to standard def DVDs if you’ve got a HDTV and you can even notice a bit of a difference on a standard def set. Not to mention all games are offered in at least 720p, if not 1080p on certain games.

Could you check where I’m at in the standings?

about how it plays on the Wii… or I should say that it’s completely unplayable. Don’t know for myself, but that should steer you away from buying it for that platform too.
