If you, like one sad East Coast blogger, have been stinging from your dear friends at Joystiq leaving you behind as they party like Andrew W.K. at E3, then the flow of delicious demos on Xbox Live has been your balm. A salve, if you will. The healing continues today with The Bigs, 2K's arcade baseball entry, available in Canada and the U.S.
We here at team East Coast have come to treasure these times we have together, Joystiq readers. You tell us about the new demo that you played, we listen and chuckle. Then, inevitably the talk turns to the rest of the Joystiq team and you ask if they're ever coming home, and we stare out the nearest West-facing window as we say "That's our prayer, child. That's our prayer." .... So, umm, The Bigs! What did you think?

Wouldn't it be cool if the next E3 was a big demo. You could download it and watch the speeches and play the games? Its at least possible now.

I hope that this is as addictively awesome as NBA Homecourt. I guess I'll have to d/l it when I get home today...

As a fellow East Coaster I feel your pain. Nothing stung more than to see the big announcement about the Joystiq reader meet up and then realize it's across the continent.

E3 couldn't contain you man, they can't handle the energy and wit that is McElroy.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I fear that the illusion will come crashing down around me when I realize the closest thing to a game celebrity I've met this week is the guy who sort of looks like Duke Nukem sitting outside 7-11 in a trench coat.

Hey, I won a $10 gift card at a bar for taking 4th in a Guitar Hero 2 event this week. With the prizes came the ladies, and by ladies, I mean my mom was proud of me and gave me an extra cookie in my sack lunch.

This is not to start a flame war I am genuinely interested. Just asking because we see a lot of Demo X on 360 now type posts but haven't seen anything for the PS3.
How's Sony's bringing it home going? Are they doing well with getting content up? Are they putting up demos or just movies?

I have this on 360 and I find it to be a ton of fun. I have been looking for a fast playing, fun baseball game for years and this is it. If you can, check out this demo ASAP!
