MLBTS 24 Negro Leagues (Collector’s) Edition
-
I get that not everyone is interested in the steel box or hat, and that's okay. Personally, I want the steel box (don't really care about the hat, but it will go into my collection). I have the Jackie Robinson one, and this will be a fine addition to my game library (even if it is only for looks).
They are giving $1 to the museum for every NL edition sold, so that is something, but a direct donation would absolutely be better. And, just because someone is buying this edition of the game doesn't mean they can't donate directly as well.
I'm bummed we aren't able to preorder the NL edition yet. None of the sites are offering it. I'll keep my eyes peeled though. (Unless someone has figured out how, then please share).

It’s available on PS5 from PlayStation Direct currently. Doesn’t look like any actual retailers have it yet though.

The Negro League edition with the steel book doesn’t activate a store link from theshow.com but the other versions do. This edition doesn’t show up in the PS store either.

I never said the link from the show website works. Here’s the purchase link for you. https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-games/mlb-the-show-24-collectors-edition-ps5-ps4

Thank you very much! That's what I get for thinking the PS Store is the same as PS Direct.

@Blind_Bleeder I am curious if you could use the negro League stadiums in online diamond dynasty. That was a big factor in why I got the game last year

Hats and steel aren't cheap. You could also make the donation direct.
Seriously!!! I never know that!!! I’m being sarcastic obviously.

I don't know. I rarely (2 games in 23) play online. I'm sure someone else here will know, though.

That’s something when they don’t have to donate anything and I’m sure the exposure in the game brings more to them.
I don’t have a need for game cases. I have the digital edition PS5 and even with the PS4 hadn’t gotten a physical game since around 2018. I already covered my thoughts for the hats.

This is exactly what I was hoping they were going to do last year. Very cool!
BTW — a couple years ago I made a little weekend trip to KC to visit the Negro League museum and see a couple Royals games. If you’re within a day’s drive, I can’t recommend it enough. The museum was fantastic. And royals tickets were crazy cheap (sat right behind the on-deck circle for like 75 bucks). KC is a really nice city. Wouldn’t mind relocating there some day.

Two issues I have with CE this year and after buying it every year I won't this year
- There's no mention of the game on the hat. 2. No disc

And...the Royals tweeted that they are sponsoring free admission to the museum for all of February.

Update
The MLBTS website's ordering portal now has a link to PS Direct to order the NL edition for the PS5.

I think that's because it's only available for the digital versions of the next generation consoles.

Here's the graphic. Personally since I have a Series X now in addition to the PS5 I may just opt for game pass. I am not sure 4 days of early access is worth $85 (MVP edition). I never get anything worthwhile from Double Daily rewards. The extra standard packs and stubs are not worth it. 1 Legend Diamond is questionable (will it be an 85-92 diamond?)

- Still possible there's a mention of the game on the hat. Could be on the side we can't see. It's been done before:

Whoever told you this misinformed you. Someone has the link several posts above you. You get the digital PS5 and PS4 versions with this purchase.

@SaveFarris I dont think that's the numbers they go by though. Do you have any numbers for how many people play the show on X/S and PS5 vs old systems? Because I myself don't know anyone that still use Ps4 or x one.

I’ve always enjoyed their little airport out there

I personally know 2 and personally know just 1 other players using a PS5 or XBox X/S. I knew 3 but I purchased my girlfriends son a PS5 for Christmas so he moved from one to the other. I think his point was with that many consoles in the world the odds are they have a lot of people still playing on the PS4.
