MLB 10 PS3 Slim bundle outed again by Target
Two weeks ago, we published reports from a Target employee who claimed an MLB 10-branded 250GB PS3 Slim bundle had appeared on their store's list of new releases. Recently, another piece of evidence surfaced which adds further credibility to the story: Target's online store recently added the MLB 10 bundle to its virtual shelves. The online listing is scant on details -- it only mentions that the bundle comes with the console and a copy of the game. The tipster from two weeks ago reported a release date of June 13, and a price of $349.99 for the package. Once again, we've contacted Sony to try and get official confirmation of these details.

Rumor: 250GB PS3 bundled with MLB '10 in June
An alleged Target inventory listing appears to indicate the impending arrival of a new PlayStation 3 bundle. According to the printout (seen above) and a photograph of a scanner (posted after the break), the bundle includes a 250GB PS3 Slim and a copy of MLB '10 The Show for $349.99. It'll hit store shelves on June 13. We've contacted a number of Target locations, one of which was able to confirm that the listing was in their database. Given the recent deal struck up between the MLB and Sony to stream live baseball games directly to the console, an MLB '10 bundle seems like an appropriate promotion. Regardless, we've contacted Sony to see if we can get a comment about this listing's authenticity. Update: A Sony representative responded, saying "we don't comment on rumors or speculation about our business."
Finding a new dimension for gaming at the 3D Gaming Summit
A small crowd of movie and game producers met this week at Universal City in Los Angeles for the first-ever 3D Gaming Summit, to sit down and discuss the trend of 3D imaging in gaming and film. Much of the talk at the summit was speculative -- with almost no actual consumer devices on the market and nearly none within price range of the average consumer anyway, gaming in 3D isn't much more than an idea at this point. Most of the technology companies in attendance are still working to get content producers to use their systems to create games and films rather than selling hardware directly to consumers. Still, the panels and discussions at the summit offered an interesting look at what many believe to be the eventual future of the industry. From a lunchtime interview with Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil director Paul W.S. Anderson to a Playstation Move demo (and a panel moderated by a Joystiq editor), the 3D Gaming Summit showed off a lot of guesswork, a few interesting demos, and a few big holes that will need to be filled if 3D gaming is going to ever take off.
MLB 10 The Show debut trailer: it's more baseball
Sure, you were impressed by that God of War III game that Sony showed off last night. But, that wasn't the only PlayStation exclusive to feature on GameTrailers TV. Sony also showed off MLB 10 The Show and it features a lot of ... baseball. We understand that it's an excellent franchise, but it's getting increasingly difficult to find the words to write about this game. (Perhaps you can help us out and leave a few words in the comments section. We'll take good care of them, we swear!) MLB 10 will be available on PS3, PSP and yes, even PS2 on March 2nd.
MLB 10 The Show catches Joe Mauer, March 2 release date
Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer graces this newly revealed cover for Sony's MLB 10 The Show. It's an apt choice, considering one of the big new features of this year's iteration is the ability to play as the catcher, calling pitches whilst scratching your groin. The PlayStation-exclusive series will appear on PS3, PSP and PS2 on March 2, the same day as 2K Sports' multiplatform MLB 2K10.
