I can watch them on my Directv, why would I want them on my PS3 or Xbox 360?

I love how MLB is being dicks to Sirius XM by not allowing them to broadcast Baseball on Sirius while they throw their content on every other system that has a screen..

For those who have Dish, it gives them another resource

This a godsend for me as a E* sub and a Yankee fan. The only issue I have now is that I reside in Northeast Pennsylvania (blackout territory for New York teams) Wonder if I'd be able to run this though a proxy server to avoid the blackouts, or, even better, just create a Canadian PSN account and log in through there.

so...how do you get started? I found MLB.TV in the PS Store but it just says content not found.

Apparently it won't be around until later in the week. They still haven't announced formal pricing or anything for it yet.

I'm currently watching a baseball game on my ps3 and it looks excellent. you've got some competition roku. nice job.

This is pretty cool. I'm watching DET-LAA right now.

Also, isn't it cheaper than extra innings?

hd is much better quality than expected. I love the condensed games on the cellphone, hopefully it has that option as well.

And the tigers won it!

edit: doesnt' have the same function as yet, but it does have a useful seek option for game replays that shows what inning the action is in.

Is this just access to an MLB.TV subscription or does it require a separate PSN purchase? I'd love to have another MLB.TV option, but not if it's going to cost additional money.

It just requires a free download on your PS3 and then it gives you an access code to enter online. Pretty easy.

Downloaded, pretty darn cool!! Picture is not bad either!

Catching some Redsox/Orioles

 

[satjay]

Now figure out a way to get Sunday Ticket on PS3 (I know, never happen, but we can dream right )

 

[PhilAce]

Uh, I'm getting blacked out on the Chicago Cubs and White Sox games. The only problem with that is I'm not in their territory.

Catching the Redsox game again on NESN, love this MLB TV through the PS3!
