MLB 12: The Show Combo Deal Announced
The PS3 and PSVita versions of MLB 12: The Show offer the highly anticipated feature of being able to transfer Franchise and Road to the Show saves between them but the downside to the arrangement has been that two complete copies of the game have to be purchased. Until today there was nothing being provided as an incentive to those who were considering picking them both up. Now SCEA has announced a bundle deal that will bring $20 savings.

MLB 12: The Show Forgoes Pre-Release Demo
MLB 12: The Show will not be receiving a pre-release demo. That a major title such as The Show would pass on putting out a demo is surprising - and it appears that the company may have made a deal with Best Buy again, as was the case with MLB 10, as in-store units have been spotted in several locations.
