Sony has announced they will be bringing Major League Baseball to the PS3, in one of the biggest streaming deals announced in the history of the console.
Peter Dille, senior vice president of Sony Computer Entertainment America, agrees: "This is one of the biggest deals we're bringing to the PS3, and it won't be the last one, there's lots of conversations going on."
The games will be broadcast in 720p HD through MLB.TV, which costs $25 a month or $120 a year for a subscription.
The PS3 will get a custom MLB.TV interface which allows users to scroll through live games or archived games. You can also pause, rewind and jump forward during games, just as if it had been recorded with a DVR.
Notably, due to "blackout rules," users cannot watch their own local market teams.
"We're excited about bringing MLB onto the console ... this is something you can't find on any other console," Dille continues, via Reuters.
