I talked to a Gamestop representative when I put up my pre-order. They said it would most likely be ready Tuesday Jan. 27th.
And now we try desperately to track down the Amazon gift card procured at Christmas. This game sounds AWESOME.
I have a love-hate relationship with Albert Pujols. Mostly hate.
Might wanna rent it first.

Witty signature.
Amazon has it for $37 plus shipping. Looked at a few reviews, and people who like 'action' type baseball games where you are the pitcher or hitter will not like this game.
People who want to play GM will likely be happier with this game:
That quote is from a review HERE.2K's Front Office Manager should provide hardcore baseball fans, especially those who participate in fantasy leagues, with an engaging and authentic experience in the life of an MLB GM. MLB Front Office Manager is due out in January on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
I also have a couple Amazon certificates laying around, and I might just have to give this one a try.

I'll wait until I see some solid reviews...I was extremely psyched for NFL Head Coach a few years back (similar concept-no actual on-field gameplay) and was probably as disappointed as I've ever been with a game. It seems games such as these just do better on a PC.
From the reviews I've read it sounds like I might as well get OOTP Baseball...
Anyone seen minimum computer specs for this one?
Valkyria Chronicles
Jeanne D'arc if you have a PSP.

I just picked up MLB Front Office for the Xbox. Anyone else playing it this week?
