The fact of the matter is it should have been available. Its still not, people have the right to be upset. What's even worse is the crappy refund process. Your not even guaranteed the refund. You have to wait a week for a decision on your case. Some people in this thread who think they got a refund and went and bought a physical copy are gonna be upset next week when they get a email saying all sales are final.

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.

Couldn't they have just rolled over and done the same thing from their phone at 12:01 though?

Btw, would simply purchasing it at 12:01 (or whenever the option became available) made any difference. It still would have taken your money for the purchase, and sent you to a screen without a download option.

So I'm not really sure not pre-ordering would have changed most of our situations anyway. It might have saved the people who logged in here first and saw that there wasn't a download available yet, but I'm sure a significant number of people would have just gone to the store and clicked purchase.

This is a problem not just for pre-order customers but anybody in the past 11 hours that has click "buy now" as well. Your argument isn't really so much against pre-order in this case as it is with digital release in general.

It is unreal to me how people continue to miss the point. I mean without actually coming out and saying it, posts like this are unbelievably attempting to assign some amount of blame the customer for ordering a product that they have yet to receive. That is completely insane!

Like my father always said, "The "why" doesn't matter". Who cares why someone preordered a digital copy, because you can, that's why.

I mean wow.

This is why i preordered digitally, was going to wait to order at midnight then saw the preorder bonus points and figured why not, maybe by this time next year I'll be able to get the show for free with my reward points. I was aware of some issues with Day 1 digital, but in no way was i expect ting THIS...

I say on the phone for 45 minutes just to be hung up on, so I caved and got a physical copy, installing it now. I know own 4 copies of MLB 14 the show (ps3, vita, and both the digital and physical copies for ps4.) i know I've always said said I'd be willing to pay $200 for this game, but I didn't mean I wanted to!!!

I work from home + the allure of the 12:01 am release. Figured I'd get a head start on the d/l. The closest retailer to me is about 15miles

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.

4. Employment - Many people work so staying up to midnight is not an option and they may not have time during the day to pick it up. Pre-order, have it automatically download, come home and enjoy without any hassles.
