In the US, owners will be able to stream live Major League Baseball games through their consoles via MLB.TV.

Of course, this service doesn't come for free. MLB.TV is a subscription-based service that will cost 25 USD per month or 120 USD for the year.

MLB's Kenny Gersh told Gamasutra: "This transaction represents another important distribution point for our fans to enjoy live baseball games via the internet."

The subscription will allow PS3 users to play, pause, fast-forward and rewind live games. For those that already subscribe to the service through their PC, they will be able to access the service on their PS3 for free.
