well you dont have to go to the store and waste gas, you dont have to get up to change the game, no tax charge, could download it over night and play in the morning instead of having to wait till 11am. OF COURSE this being the only ****ing exception.

This isn't just about a video game anymore, I am not sure it ever was. This is about a major corporation, failing in a major way to deliver media In a way that they are trying to encourage people to use. Meanwhile, somebody today was probably on their way home for lunch, decided "hey, I will stop at this best buy and pick up the show." That dude is playing and people who gave them guaranteed purchase are not. Its a big deal. Do you have low self esteem? I mean, do you just let people take things from you and be ok with it? I mean really. You had case at 1230a est, at this point, this is indefensible no matter how condescending you want to be. I think you are using that to deflect your own anger about this situation. LOL

You caught me.

I appreciate your honesty, but...you make a highly irrational decision, and then whine about it when that decision doesn't work out?

One ounce of thought would have prevented the anger.

He said preorder digital not buy digital all together.

But you could have purchased at 12:01 without preordering, and if it wasn't up, withheld your money until it was.

I just don't understanding giving them your money in exchange for a promise of a digital good rather than waiting to give your money in exchange for the actual digital good.

It's a small thing, but I really like having the game on my system without the need for a disc. It's not worth waiting an extra day to play the game though

With pre-ordering it, it was supposed to start downloading automatically at midnight. I got up at 7:00am this morning to play for an hour or so, but no dice.

I also mistakingly thought this game was eligible for pre-download so that I could actually start playing last night at 12:01am, but that was yesterday's disappointment

I'll answer you the same I did with my wife and mother since they told me I should go with the hard copy.

1. I save taxes, which for me was 12$. Not a big deal, I know.
2. It's ecologicaly more responsible to buy digitaly instead of hard copy. It's not a big deal, I know
3. I thought I could start the download, get to bed, hit the gym, came back home and install without having to make a cut towards a store to buy it. Again, not a big deal.

It's the 3 reason. I can also add that I bought a few games on the PS3 and PS4 and downloaded them without problems. Therefore, I wasn't expecting a problem with MLB 14 The Show.

What I should have done is read more about Day 1 Digital delays before pre-ordering. That's my fault on that part. Next time, I'll know better.

Well, I guess once I found out it would be available early through PSN I figured I'm going to buy it there anyway...why not just go ahead and pre-order. Didn't put a ton of thought into it. Didn't even consider that Sony might **** the bad this badly on it.

I guess I'm just not as smart as you.
