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.

With copies starting to circulate confirmation has come in that MLB 12: The Show is introducing its own version of the "Online Pass" which restricts access to online functionality for those who don't buy the game new requiring payment in order to take advantage of those features.

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. That leaves MLB 2K12 to have the demo space to itself. It's a brilliant opportunity for 2K Sports that may or may not be capitalized on depending on whether consumers find it to be worthy of ...
