Haha, I was just thinking, if I ordered at 9pm PST for overnight deliver last night, it would be here in a couple of hours.

Disclaimer: Now, overnighting the hard copy of a video game is a completely insane thing to do and I wouldn't actually do it.

I just explained it two you twice. Someone who wants to go to bed at a reasonable hour and wake up to a fully playable game is enough incentive to pre-order. Any other questions?

Have a question. I like many others preordered the digital version. Obviously it was never there to download at the 12:01 EST. So I went ahead and bought the hard copy a little while go. The question I have is say I download the digital version when it's finally up and then I want to sell the disc version. Do I have to delete everything that was installed from the disc or can the data remain on the hard drive after I downloaded the game digitally. In other words, do I have to reinstall the whole game again.

I've gotten kicked out of the live support chat queue twice now.

In line for my third fail now.

Been a great experience so far.

Sure. That's one reason.

Though it still seems silly to me that 1) 12:01 is an unreasonable hour and 2) you're willing to wake up early to play, but not willing to stay up an extra two hours to make sure you're not getting screwed over, as is happening here.

But it's a reason, which is what I asked for!

Look, we all know at this point we made a mistake trusting Sony. Pre-ordering for me was like I said, I decided that digital was the way I was going to go so why not just lock it up. What's to lose? (Now I know). You get excited for the game. You want to support San Diego Studios as soon as you can. There are a lot of little contributing psychological factors that go into the decision to commit all-in, as soon as you have the option. Plus, there WAS a bonus in points as previously pointed out.

And you haven't addressed my other point that it wouldn't have mattered whether you pre-ordered or waited until 12:30 and clicked "buy now". You'd still be in the same boat.

In my situation, I incorrectly followed the musings of the people on this board that said it would be a pre-load download a few days in advance that PS4 update 1.70 added. This was in fact not the case.
