MLB.tv for Playstation 3

[sbauer]

Starting today you'll be able to watch MLB.tv using your PS3. Sony posted some information about the app on their blog today.

his app allows MLB.TV subscribers to watch every regular season game live in HD (local blackout restrictions do apply), with tons of new interactive features designed exclusively for PSN.

Some of the unique interactive features that we show in the demo include:

MLB Scoreboard – See a schedule of today’s games (and set options to control whether or not you see the scores)

Home and Away Feeds – Choose to watch either the home or away broadcast feed

HD quality video and DVR functionality – watch a live game in HD (with Live Game DVR functionality that lets you pause and rewind live games of fast-forward back to live game action)

Season Archive – Want to re-live a great moment? Go back and watch games you’ve missed from earlier in the season.

Scrollable Linescore – Go directly to any half-inning to watch only that portion of the game.

Favorite Teams/Calendar Schedule – Scroll through the entire 2010 Major League Baseball schedule in calendar format or designate your favorite team(s) to see the schedule for that team.

Does anyone know if spring training games are shown on MLB.tv?

I think this is cheaper than MLB Extra Innings. Why wouldn't I get this instead? Assuming I have a PS3, i mean.

I have heard the video quality is really good.

I assume you have to be an MLB.TV subscriber to use it. This would just let you watch MLB.TV on your TV through your PS3 instead of via a laptop.

Right, but I think this is as good as MLB Extra Innings, or better than, and less expensive.

If you have a PS3 and plan on getting MLB The Show '11... Preorder at GameStop and you get a 30 day trial of MLB.tv.

I used this service last season '10, and its a superior product to MLB EI, its cheaper, its HD, and as long as you have a decent broadband connection, there is virtually no lag at all. I have bought this package for myself as a Christmas present every year since it started, and last year with the PS3 streaming, I was in my Orange and Black Glory!

Sold, sir!

Just to clarify, for those of us who actually live in MASN's market.........we can't use this service to see O's games on the PS3 right?

[True Talent]

Yeah, I'd imagine you'd be blacked out.

For us out of towners, it's a godsend though.

Oh I see, I got them mixed up. Yeah, I guess the only downside would be that it will be as finnicky as your home wireless network.

It looks like it does, at least when viewing the game calendar within the MLB.tv app in Boxee.
