MLB 13: The Show Cross-Buy “Still to be Determined”

It was just yesterday that Sony officially revealed MLB 13: The Show for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. We knew it was coming – The Show is the most popular baseball videogame franchise in the world – but now we know for sure that it’ll be released Stateside on March 5, 2013.

What we didn’t know, however, is whether MLB 13: The Show would take advantage of Sony’s vaunted cross-buy program, in which gamers get the Vita version of a game for free when buying the PS3 iteration (or, conceivably, vice-versa). MLB 12: The Show was the very first game to employ cross-saving between Vita and PS3, but players, unfortunately, had to buy both versions separately, hitting their wallet hard.

I wanted to know what Sony’s plan was, so I asked. A representative got back to me, telling me that whether or not MLB 13: The Show will utilize cross-buy or not “is still to be determined.” However, he also noted that “a complete answer” to the question will be forthcoming “by the new year.”

I don't think this game needs it. I was happy with the 20 dollars off the Vita version when buying the PS3 copy for a limited time. And I would understand if they went that route again.

Cross-buy is an amazing deal, but we can't expect it for every game.

Lethalsuperhuman4164d ago

Hope they do. Mlb 13 was very good on ps vita, and im getting a ps3 for xmas. And I hope they use the cross controller feature on the ps vita.

shammgod4164d ago

Let's make it happen. I buy this game for PS3 annually.

sdozzo4164d ago

You'll never see cross buy with big games. People will buy this title anyways. Imagine the money lost.

Godchild10204164d ago

Playstation All-Stars and Sly Cooper are big titles and they have Cross-buy, Ratchet & Clank is another big one.

As mention above in ny earlier post; The buy the PS3 version and get 20 dollars off the Vita version was great for me. And before this Cross-buy incentive, people that bought both, were okay with it too.

Hicken4164d ago

I hope so. I rarely buy the PS3 version(twice... no, once so far), but I'd be far more inclined to get it if I knew I was getting the Vita version, too.

I have to disagree... Not everyone like the show, I bought the show for ps4 n like 2k on 360 better, I'm not saying the show not good, I myself think 2k offer more!! If Sony n EA would take a couple pages from 2k n put into there sport games, and OMG!!! We would have kickass sport games...

harrisk9543532d ago

This list doesn't include The Show???.. Total and utter FAIL.

JimmyDM903532d ago

On closer inspection the article title is very misleading. He says it's a list of top 5 baseball games also available on PC. Since The Show is playstation exclusive I'm guessing that's why it is absent.

Redlogic3532d ago

Yea, no MLB the show on this list but MLB 2K is on their twice from the last 3 yrs?!? List is bogus

Brazz3532d ago

The list i a total fail! MLB: the show is the best baseball game, and you can't see it in the list! This thing is bullshit! Only a person that never played "The show", or a butthurt xbox fanboy, can say that MLB 2k series is better than MLB: theshow...

"Top 5 Best Baseball Games for PC,PS3,XBOX"

Article claims it's for consoles, then ignores the best franchise on console. Hell the best franchise, period.

Can't even get two years out of it. WOW

FamilyGuy3544d ago

That's ridiculous, are the servers ghost towns or what?
Never heard of a big game dropping support under 2 years like this.

3-4-53544d ago

From 2014 you can carry over saves so maybe this is the last time they do something like this.

x_RadicalAura_x3544d ago (Edited 3544d ago )

Ouch. Looks like I better get going on those MP trophies. 3-4 years is understandable, but 2 years? C'mon, Sony.

XtraTrstrL3544d ago

Whoa, remind me to never buy an MLB: The Show game. That is ridiculous. LoL, nice way to promote MLB 14 Sony.

yarbie10003544d ago

That's one way to make sure people buy the new sports games every year...

ZombieDust3544d ago

But but but I thought sony wanted to give us the best value? Haha kind of like denying ea access so we can have their absurdly price ps now (is that what its called? I had a few too many tonight).

Jag-T10003544d ago

This is why online features suck! They can shut down the servers whenever they want.
