URGHHHHH

Sony says the 12 million owners of PlayStation3 consoles in the United States will be eligible to subscribe to MLB.TV; nine million of those people have already connected their consoles to the Internet, Sony said.

DO NOT DO THIS TO ME!!!

On the boards I found this some of your brethern asked the EU PS Blog guy

if there would be eventual support for the EU/UK but he had no answers at this time.

I can think of ways that you might be able to download it but I don’t know if it would work after that.

Wait a hot minute here.

Will I be able to watch MLB.TV games on my 46" LCD in HD due to MLB.TV now? Or will it be at some lower resolution or non-widescreen?

I also desperately would like to know this.

From what I'm reading, it's capable of 720p.

CNET takes a look. The picture looks pretty good.

I cancelled my MLB extra innings today.

Signed up for this, and the live games look great. I watched the Mariners game from yesterday and the video wasn’t as great. I’m hoping it was just a bad recorded feed. The interface is great on the PS3 though. I watched the Cubs game and it looked really good, nice HD quality.

UK people, here is a workaround I have found so we can enjoy this app!

1. First create a new user for your PS3.

2. Sign Up for the Playstation Network.

3. Select Hong Kong as your Country/Region. (You can select ANY region as long as you can provide a real address.)

4. Make sure your language is set to English.

5. Select Master Account.

6. Create an e-mail account for your new PSN ID. If you have another e-mail address you can use just use it.. a friends, a parents, or a girlfriends etc. Otherwise visit any of the free e-mail websites below:

    * Gmail – http://www.google.com/mail/help/promo1.html
    * lycos – http://mail.lycos.com/lycos/Index.lycos
    * mail.com – http://www.mail.com
    * hotmail – http://www.hotmail.msn.com
    * AOL – http://free.aol.com/thenewaol/email.adp

Once you’ve created an account simply use the e-mail address in your registration.

7. Create an online ID.

8. Enter a name, it’s up to you how to play this one.

9. Next you’ll need to provide a valid address for the region. Lets say you pick Hong Kong as my new homeland. Visit Frommers HERE and click on any of the restaurants names. Once you do this you’ll have a valid address for your new account so enter it!

That’s it, congratulations you’ve now successfully created a foreign region PSN account for your PS3! Enjoy the spoils!
