MLB 14 The Show Available As Day 1 Digital Download Available to Download Now (PS4)

[ajblithe20]

They keep saying noon, but I feel like that's just because it's the next hour.... I may go to gamestop with some gift cards I have to get it, but I'll still download it when it's available. I can always sell it on Ebay and get most of my money back... hopefully

Some companies you can purchase the game direct from them on their website.

I hope you're right. The whole issue just seems odd to me though. Updating the PSN store seems like an awfully simple fix for an issue they're currently trying to resolve.

I'd venture to guess that the issue is related to the 1.70 update that allows pre-dowloading. The Show is one of the few games that released after the update but before the pre-download feature was in effect (it will start with the Watchdog release). Seems like is could be a legacy issue. It's all speculation though

Did any other games release for digital download yesterday, and if so, any problems downloading?

This was clearly a major screw up by the PSN people. But these are first world problems you are dealing with. As I drove to work this morning thinking about myself rushing out at lunch to pick up the CD for this game and thinking about all you peeps who failed to download the game last night, I had to remind myself that I better pay attention to the road and not get into an accident. If something bad like that was to happen, I would easily forget about this game. So people have the right to be dissatisfied today (I am sure some heads are rolling at PSN and I sure as heck would not want to be the person(s) who messed up). But let's not forget, this is only a game. Soon we will all be playing the game and hopefully the PSN peeps will learn a lesson from this.

Great post. I like many others here pre-ordered the digital version hoping that it would be available for pre-load. Unfortunately that wasn't the case and like a lot of you stayed up until midnight in hopes of downloading the game over night, but alas the game was not available on the store for those who pre-ordered it.

It sucks that the game isn't available right now (especially to those of you who took the day off hoping to be able to play the game), but things could be a lot worse. At some point we will all be able to play this game so take solace in that. It's a first world problem we're experiencing right now and I sincerely hope that Sony's network team has learned an important lesson from this situation. We will all be able to play the game at some point so we all need to exercise some patience at this time.

Hopefully for the ones here who are trying to get refunds that they aren't dealing with too many hassles with Sony's customer service.

No other game was day 1 digital today. Theres atleast one other game that can be downloaded when the store updates.
