WOAH. Just because I don't have a new console, I lose out on 10 free packs!?!?!? Dang, this is all a scam

It's not the packs. Packs are garbage. It's the lack of free upgrade. (If I'm correct that is.)
Why would there be a free upgrade. The ps5 version is 10.00 more. I could see being able to upgrade for 10 more, but to upgrade for free ain't going to happen.
You've already purchased the product. That would be why. $10 more for 10 packs imo.
Yeah but companies and people aren't stupid. If you got a free upgrade with the ps4 version why would anyone buy the ps5 version? It's logical, people just always find something to complain about.

I'm not sure if you noticed but MOST games you can purchase right now have both ps4 and ps5 versions included.
Okay, there's Madden, which had the ps5 come out 3 or 4 months after it had been released, and they knew they couldn't charge people again for half a year of a game that was barely changed. 2K made people rebuy the game for next-gen. I know, 2k is a dog [censored] company, but SDS is gotta play with the cards it was given, and their comparisons are other sports games. The MOST games you are referring to were launch-day/ near launch games, where everyone was transferring over (Miles Morales)

Greed. When the Ps4 dropped several companies were doing free transfers to the new console. Some companies are consumer friendly, here's to you CDPR!

I think most people who haven't been able to get a PS5 are worried that when they do finally get there hands on the system, that they don't have to start over, lose their progress and also if you are someone who purchase stubs (especially in the beginning) that all of that will be lost when you finally get a PS5... Looks like if you buy the deluxe it won't matter, but still it's a slight anxiety for people, who haven't been able to secure one yet.

Yes, and when the ps4 came out it was 8 years ago. A lot of things have changed in the past 8 years buddy. They already decided what the plan is, so suck it up and deal with it.

I mean I was planning on getting the collectors edition anyway so I'm not affected by it. I'm simply saying it would be a consumer friendly approach especially considering digital sales have increased tremendously this past year and cost little to nothing to produce.
And the biggest factor in this is gonna be, how many people playing MLBTS even have a Ps5? What? Maybe 5%?

They've sold 4.5 million units and that was by December 31, and its been a month since.(just for reference)

Gots ta account for the amount of that 4.5m, (let's assume its 6m now) who...
A. Play MLB The Show.
B. Scalped the item and still have it in possession.
C. Live in other countries where MLB isn't prevalent.
D. How legitimately difficult it is to find one.
E. Lastly and what hurts my heart, baseball just isn't that popular.Players in Japan, Australia, the UK and anywhere but North America really, likely don't enjoy/play MLB. So its easy to assume, out of that 6m (again a number out of my [censored]), maybe 150,000 play MLBTS.
If we were talking about 2k, or Madden, it would be an entirely different discussion. I'd be inclined to believe that number would already be 1m+ simply due to popularity.

You've placed straight facts right in front of me, no denying it, maybe you might be right, but even by your esitmate of 5% that would make the player on ps5 at 300,000(if we use 6 million). But honestly, we've still got to remember that we've got TWO MONTHS and change before this game comes out, so there will be plenty of time for more people to get ps5.

Thats a fair point as well. By the time the game drops the number of Ps5 owners could be 2x.
