This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

I've heard a lot of people bashing the 360 version, I believe this is largely due to the fact that this game is not import friendly and most of gamers are not stupid enough to invest in import xbox just for this game.
I own the ps2 version and has been very happy with it. Until last weekend when a Japanese friend of mine came to my place with his copy of PYS3 on xbox360.
The graphic is simply amazing!! Movements are fluent and feels like you are watching the real game on high-def tv. Players have more animation and smooth transition from pitchig, batting, and fielding is just spot on and brings a lot more realism to playing the game.
The sound is way better than the ps2 version, well, obviously this is equipped with Cristal clear 5.1 surround sound.
Bottom line is, I wish soon there will be a mod-chip for xbox 360 so I can play this game on my U.S version xbox. Or I will have to wait for PS3 and get it then. But from what I have experienced, I don't know if I can wait... for this game along, is wroth the price of the box.
Now I am back playing the ps2 version... well, let's just say that I wish I've never played the 360...
Please post your thoughts. (Please don't bash the game if you have not seen it in person or played it).
The video and screen shots can't serve the justice, you have to see it to believe it.
