MLB 13 The Show is a "Day 1 Digital" game, which means if you pre-order from the PS Store, you can start downloading a digital copy of the game at 12:01 AM EST on March 5th.

As a bonus, if you pre-order from the PS Store you will receive an exclusive theme for your PS3 XMB menu screen and an extra 120 million for your Franchise budget.

At the moment, we only see the MLB 13 The Show Day 1 Digital pre-order available for the PS3, nothing on the PS Vita.

It gives you a link to the download instructions after you complete your transaction.

Cliffnotes version:

PlayStation Network >> Account Management >> Download List

You should see the theme there already, and the game should show up just after midnight.

Thanks SO much for the updates boys! I was freaking out but even though Knight coolly brought me down from my rage cloud, I was still really worried about the maintenance.

Anyone help me?

You can play it as soon as it downloads and installs.
That's going to take some time..
So download at midnight...and it will be ready for you tomorrow.

All depends on your internet connection speed, PSN, and the file size. I have 50 MBPS download speed. So if I get my theoretical max speed, the game could be downloaded in just under an hour assuming its around 20GBs. I am guessing with all the people downloading at once I won't get my max download speed. Lets say 20MBPS your looking at about 2.5 hours. That's what i'm guessing it will take. I'll likely stay up and play one game before bed tonight.

Does anyone know if the live roster update will be available for download at midnight?

This isn't a tremendously big deal as I usually do my own up to date rosters, but it would be nice to download it and save some time.

# 269 Brian670 @ 03/04/13 09:45 PM

I did this with Madden last year and it said 12:01est and I'm central but the store did not update till 12:01pst for me to DL and that was 2:01am for me. I just wanted to say Sony is on the west cost so that might happen again.

# 270 DJ @ 03/04/13 10:21 PM

Tempted to do this but with DSL, I think this would take a full day to download. I'd worry about my PS3 burning out running that long.

Maybe I'll just DL the Vita version when it hits the store.

# 271 bautistabomb @ 03/04/13 10:26 PM

Well, just bit the bullet and preordered the digital download. Was shocked that I was not charged any tax. Ive bought stuff from psn before and always paid the 13% HST here in ontario. Wonder why the ps store stopped charging tax. Oh well not going to complain just saved myself another $7.80 I would have paid in taxes at eb games. Also traded in mlb 12 and got $10 in store credit at future shop today. C'mon midnight only 1.5 hours away.

I found the game early on Friday. Gonna do the digital download tonight and sell the disc. Should I delete the original install?

Yeah, otherwise you're just going to have 5 - 10 GB that aren't doing anything. I would assume that there's not going to be any kind of additional game data install for the digital version seeing you're downloading the entire contents of the disc.

# 274 jerk @ 03/04/13 10:33 PM

is anyone having trouble adding funds to there account? i keep trying but i'm getting denied.

# 275 DeathMetal @ 03/04/13 10:38 PM

I already have my PS3 powered up in case the download shows up early.

My Show 13 pre order theme is all set and I am ready to go.

Should I delete before or after? Also wondering how this will impact any saved files (can always upload to cloud).

I'd probably delete it beforehand just to make sure you don't delete anything important related to the digital version. I've already wiped my 10 GB install from the Show 12 and just waiting for the digital version to drop.

Roster, slider, profile and gameplay mode saves are different from the huge game data files, you're not going to delete those on accident. They're also saved in a different location (saved data folder as opposed to game data utility) and are clearly marked as what they are.

No idea if those saved files from the disc version will carry over to the digital (though I don't see why they wouldn't).

Before. And just the Game Data... Saved Data (game save files) should be fine. Keep in mind, any Sounds of The Show you may have are clumped into the game data, and will have to be redone.

That reminds me. I really wish there was an easier way to to add music to the playlist instead of having to click through all 250 songs to add them from a single playlist on my PS3. And the online manual is horrible. I have to quit the game to read it. I miss the hard copy we used to get.

# 280 Nooooovak @ 03/04/13 10:55 PM

All ready to download. Hoping the West Coast does indeed get to download it at 9pm. I have a fairly quick internet connection, so I'm hoping I can get it all downloaded and get a couple games in before I have to go to sleep (just my luck that Tuesdays are the only days where I have morning classes

)
