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

When will the amateur hour antics end regarding PSN? There's no reason that this game, especially as large as it is, shouldn't have been sitting on their content servers a week ago.

Thankfully, I purchased a physical copy. I'm not going to pre-order anything digitally on PSN until they prove to me that they've dramatically changed their infrastructure. As much as they've improved stuff, so much of the network still feels like things have been patched together.

12 hours later and nothing. This is embarrassing. This is 2014, not 2001.

same thing really. i mean no one expect this sort of crap to happen. there was a bonus to preordering on PSN Store. thing it was like $20 on their Bonus Reward program.

The MLB The Show series is basically the only reason I decided to go with the PS4 over the XBOX One. The bottom line is, SONY is not delivering on the product I purchased, which is the ability to download the digital version starting at 12:01 a.m. on May 6th. Anyone who purchased the Day 1 Digital Download should demand a refund - or at the very least a significant discount - which is what I intend to do.

They get away with this stuff because there is nowhere else to go for baseball.

Personally, digital downloading is great. even at 50gb I can download digital games while I'm not home so it's ready when I get there, or I can download it in fully in about 3 hours.

I used to look forward to a day off and get some stuff done in the morning, then relax in front of the console the rest of the day...but that NEVER happened. Without fail, each time PSN was down for maintenance. I give up. Regardless, all venting in here and I get it, but no useful info being found amongst all the clutter of venting...now can someone answer my question?

Cutwolf your point is really so trivial and trite that it's getting annoying to see people explain exactly why they pre-ordered it. The ease of going to bed at 10pm and waking up early with the game fully downloaded and installed SHOULD be enough of a counter-point for you to stop. Bricks Gonna Brick though.
