Okay. So I have a Playstation Portable.. but also a 360. The decision I'm trying to make is.. I definitely want to get MLB 2k8. But would I be disappointed if I picked up the Show on PSP?

The Show is far superior to 2k.

Indeed, that's what I've heard. But would it be worth picking up on a PSP or does anybody think that it'd be too condensed?

Anyone get the extra cymbals for Rockband? They are a blast to play with. Now the drumset has 4 pads and 3 cymbals. You can just use the pads if you want, or if you know the song & know what notes are cymbals, you can wail on them. Very very fun!

The only part of it I don't like is that the cymbals on the RB drumset do not work with Guitar Hero World Tour. Oh well...

Okay I have to make a decision today. Do I get MLB The Show 09 for my PSP or do I get MLB 2k9 for the XBOX? I'm having a hard time deciding but I'm leaning toward the Show for the PSP. My only worry is that there's too much taken out of the PSP version or it's too limited.

Even w/ me being a huge fan of The Show and the PS3 I would still go w/ the full version of 2k9 over the PSP version. I would be annoyed playing a baseball game on that little PSP.

The zombies. There's some hilarious soundpacks for them on the PC version.

I picked up The Show for PSP instead of 2K9. I like it. The graphics are more condensed than I would have liked and there's no umpires for whatever reason but it's a really solid game and I just started playing. I was so tempted to get RE5 instead.

Resident Evil 5 is really good. This is the first RE game I've ever played. The controls can be a bit clunky, especially when your fighting in close quarters. And it's not a true FPS. It took awhile getting used to not being able to shoot on the run. That said, this might be the best looking game I've ever seen. The quality and level of detail is amazing, especially the cutscenes and the bosses. The pacing of the game is perfect as far as gaining new weapons and getting used to the controls, and the gameplay switches up quite often, keeping things from getting repetitive. I only rented it to play through the single player, but if the multiplayer/co-op stuff is any good this could be a great game, one that would definitely make for a good purchase.
