You can probably return it to Amazon unopenned for a refund, though you'd have to pay to ship it back. You might want to contact Amazon and see what they say. >I did not know about the subscription crap. If you mean Xbox Live Gold then it's only for playing multiplayer games online. Unfortunately the PlayStation 4 is no different here, you also need to pay a monthly subscription in order to play online. >Whatever happened to the MLB sancitioned game? Did that franchise get >cancelled? There used to be three officially licenced MLB video game series: Sony's MLB: The Show, 2K Games' Major Leage Baseball 2K, and Electronic Arts's MVP Baseball. EA stopped making MLB licenced games in 2005 when 2K games negotiated an "exclusive" licence to make the games. It was only exclusive for third-party publishers though, the deal still allowed console manufacturer to publish MLB games for their own platforms. In 2013, when that deal expired, 2K games decided not to renew it, and so stopped making baseball games. That left Sony's MLB: The Show the only MLB licenced baseball game available, and as it's made by Sony it's only available for their consoles. The basic problem seems to be the baseball games simply aren't popular enough, otherwise either 2K Games or Electronic Arts would probably still be making them. If you're really desparate to play baseball on the Xbox One, the MLB league itself makes their own video game, RBI Baseball. Unfortunately it's essentially a mobile game with crude graphics and limited gameplay. It's availabe for the Xbox One as well the PlayStation 4, Steam, iOS and Android.
