Anybody know how big the digital version of this will be?

Install size is 46GB. So more or less the same for the digital version.
Good lord, that's a large game.

So, this Vita version.
Am I earning stubs? Where can I spend them? I get XP after every game, where does it go? What does it do? Vita feels very bare bones.

Vita has most of the features of the console version. Not sure how to use the stubs and I'm not sure XP has any use besides online matchmaking.
This. The lighting was good and the new dynamic camera after hitting the ball was fluid and natural, but other than that, it seemed to play exactly like the PS3 version.

You are earning them and there is a store somewhere. I remember finding it when I first bought the game. I'm not near my Vita, otherwise I'd look for it.

Well I haven't played the PS3 games so I have no frame of reference for what's missing.
You can create a player, do road to the show, exhibition, season mode, minor league teams, there's a home run derby mode that you can play online if you want... It seems pretty full featured.
What things are you wanting to know about? It might be better to answer specific questions since I don't have a PS3.
Edit- Maybe some players ITT that have both versions would be able to tell you better than I could.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I'm getting this and I'm going into it blind. Last show I played was the launch date version on the Vita.
Was watching this and the game showed an overhead shot of a stadium. I'm sure it benefited from stream quality video, but it looked really good.

Not lying, it's the main reason I'm thinking about buying this.
Haven't played a baseball game since Triple Play 98 on PS1, but whenever I see Busch Stadium in the trailers I geek out and want it.

That's a 12 hour download for me. When or if is this going to be preloaded?

Streams looked pretty nice. Will wait for you die hards to review and give impressions before I take the plunge though.
Well they released the PS3/Vita versions on the store but only announced it 1 day before release, so I'm guessing this isn't going to be any different (last year was the same as well). It also doesn't make sense not to release the PS4 version when the others are available on the store.
I'm just going to buy it from the Canadian Store and save 10 at least. I'm certain the PS4 version isn't going to be cheaper than the PS3 version... now where is that preload option Sony?
Digital on the Canadian PSN store is £32.

Yea I agree. Reading some impressions at Operation Sports they are saying it's pretty much the PS3 version with some better graphics. Guess we will have to wait for next year for a true leap.
In what regards?
Yeah for just over £5 more I'll take the physical copy and have some re-sale value.

I kind of expected that this year. Its pretty much the transition year. Remember that jump from MLB '07 to '08? I expect that next year. But the graphics to me, look great.
But, the core gameplay is still fantastic. Road to The Show is worth it alone.
Every animation looks to be the same from previous years, gameplay looks to have been barely touched, and the graphics really aren't doing that much for me. I'll still buy, but this isn't what I was hoping to see.
FYI: The gameplay is GOOD but it does start to get pretty stale when you've played every iteration of the Show since 2010.
Yeah not buying physical anymore really, remote play is a big reason why. No reason to get the Vita version of the game with RP now since I can't play on my commute.
Point made and understood.
Kinda glad this will be my first iteration and hopefully the devs up their game next year and go current gen only.
Yeah I can understand that too.
Can't wait till next week for this one.... been enjoying the show 14 on the vita so far...

Being a complete newcomer I'm extremely excited. I haven't played a Baseball game since All-Star 99 on the N64.

That's not true - Gamestop is offering $20 value of in-game currency if you pre-order.

This game has been 60fps since it's second iteration on the PS3.
I just want a better net code. Baseball is one game that truly needs accuracy online and the Show has continued to suck at this. The PS3 version is the same way; shitty lag.
