In the interest of full-disclosure for folks still on the fence about this one, I will support some of the negatives raised so far, but none of them are game-killers by any stretch... - Players seem to float just a bit above the ground due to their cleats not actually going into the turf. Looks a bi...

Presentation is great, but several things leave me scratching my head. You have an all around good presentation but when you sub in a pitcher he just changes on the mound, really don't get that. In the two offline games I've played, when either myself or the CPU brings in a releiver, I get a cut sc...

...The animations in this game are flat out unreal and spot on. ... Example 2) Big Papi steps to the dish. He digs his back foot hole, steps out, spits into his right hand and slaps his hands together before heading in to hit. Awesome. I'm glad we got that one right....it was actually Big Papi that...

I dunno, IGN gave MLB2K7 for the 360 a 7.9 and I LOVE that game. A 7.7 from them for this one is not scaring me off. I'm encouraged that the review points out the constant 60FPS, and I was already pretty clear on what the game would and wouldn't have thanks to the Q&A with the developers on OS. I'll...

Mogul still gets no love around the 'net, primarily due to it's simplicity and it's history of an immature interface and immature feature set. I've always liked it as a diversion, but this years version has really matured and is a lot of fun to play if you don't expect all the options like you get i...

Thanks. I wasn't trying to sway anyone to the PS3, just offering another opinion for those people who are on the fence and looking for real-world feedback rather than media hype. I should also point out that I am not a typical on-line user, so the shortcomings don't bother me as much as others. I li...

Also, comparing cost/value with the XBOX360 is getting interesting. Just taking into account HD and Online, I had to buy a component cable ($50) and XBOX Live Account ($50) to get up and running with the 360. This is just flat out wrong. You don't need to buy a cable with the 360, you do however ne...

As someone who used all of these same arguments to hold off buying until a couple of weeks ago, I'll throw in another 2 cents (though I know you weren't speaking to me...). By the way, I was damn proud of myself for holding out so long. Usually I'm one of the guys in line on opening night... Still p...

I'm with Rally. Just buy the damn thing, though I'd recommend the Costco bundle that gives you an extra controller and MotorStorm for $699. I also own all 3 and can see myself spending more time with the PS3 than the 360. A lot of it has to do with MLB right around the corner, but much of it also ha...

Guys - Thanks a million for your helpful replies. Just read through them all with my wife and she wanted me to pass on her thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. Rally, I may take you up on that PM offer, thanks.

I'll let you know how the "discussions" go.

Thanks for the good wishes guys. Regarding her friends, that's another really weird thing about all of this. They are all super motivated, and a really nice group of kids. It's odd, but I think because they are doing so well and are so focused on their futures, it makes our daughter feel even more "...

OT: Kids and College

Thought I'd see if any of you have had this problem before, as the demographic here suggests that some of you may have college aged kids as well. Here's the problem. My oldest daughter, 18, is about to wrap up what was supposed to be her first full year of college. She graduated with honors from HS,...

I just added a PS3 to my "family" of systems this past weekend and don't regret the purchase at all. I got the bundle at Costco which included the extra controller and MotorStorm. I know this is a lame reason, but it came down to system "noise". You see, I needed a DVD Player for the bedroom, but al...

There's an interesting psychological phenomenon at play here.... I've been playing the game non-stop and having a blast until last night when I tried out Heelfan's sliders from OS.

I'm REALLY digging this game. Pace is great & fun factor is very high after 5 complete games. My only negatives so far would be: - The Willie Mays "no look" catches in the outfield. Have seen 5 of these in 5 games, one of them robbing a HR over the wall. (Not a game killer by any means.) - The anima...
