Watch MLB Games On Your PS3

Sony has announced a brand new app for the Playstation 3 that will be available from the Playstation Network in both the U.S. and Canada.  This new 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 are shown 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 game live in HD (with Live Game DVR functionality that lets you pause and rewind live games and 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.

You can download the app from the “Media” category on Playstation Store, and launch it from the video section of the XMB.  You must be an MLB.TV subscriber to fully utilize this app (some features, such as the calendar schedule, are available to everyone for free).  There are two annual packages with MLB.TV being $99.95 and MLB.TV Premium going for $119.95.  If you aren’t already a subscriber you can go to ps3.com/mlbtv to sign up.
