Family Fun Fest: Baseball and gaming collide

For gaming enthusiasts who enjoy a good minor league baseball game every now and then, we'd like to turn your attention to the Xbox 360 sponsored Family Fun Fest that is traveling the great U.S. of A. this Spring. The Principal Financial Group Family Fun Fest is an event that is currently touring the country, where minor league baseball attendees can partake in family fun. Family fun playing Xbox 360 games including Rock Band, GHIII, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Burnout Paradise and, of course, MLB 2K8. Again, the Family Fun Fest will be traveling to stadiums on the minor league baseball circuit through August, so be sure to check out the schedule to see if you'll be able to experience 360 gaming while attending a baseball event. We're also hearing rumors that the Xbox 360 crew is giving out free hotdogs and Cracker Jacks to all the top Rock Band performers ... but that's just a rumor.

I love this picture, it shows exactly who owns 360's... Virgins and 12 year olds

Your parents must really hate you "Jaeson". Just like your chromosomes, you got one too many letters in your name too.

It's a shame they're playing MLB 2k8 on this tour, taking 10 minutes having to explain the controls to every 10 year old would be horrifying.

And why are the MLB 2k6 for the first gen Xbox prominently on display?? WTF?

Ugh, anyone else feel 2k's effort into 2K8 uninspiring?

I've played both 2K8 and MLB 08 The Show (so shoot me, I have a ps3) and The Show outshines 2k8 in almost every way.
