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

04:28 PM - May 5, 2014 by Steve_OS

MLB 14 The Show will be available as a Day 1 digital download at 12:01 AM EST on May 6th. (SEE UPDATES BELOW) Similar to how users were able to download the PS3 version, expect it to be available at that time, give or take a few minutes.

It doesn't appear as though you will be able to pre-download, as some hoped with the latest PlayStation update. VG24/7 noted Watch Dogs will be the first game available for pre-download, releasing on May 27th.

UPDATE: As of 10:30 AM EST, the game is still not available to download.

UPDATE #2: Due to unforeseen technical issues, MLB 14 The Show for PS4 is not currently available for download via the PlayStation Store. All parties are working as quickly as possible to remedy the issue. We�ll update this post as soon as a resolution is reached. Thank you for your continued patience.

UPDATE #3: Based off of the many responses, the download should be available for everyone now.

I never said you did not. I was simply explaining why I DO complain. That's the beauty of being a consumer. You do what you want with your money. For someone to tell me what I can and can't do with my money is ludicrous.

Also, I love how you want to make a mockery of the conversation when this is actually a serious issue worth debating. I'm glad we were able to be a source of entertainment for the thread together, it was a joy.

Russian expansion in Ukraine, or Iran getting nukes are serious issues. This is people not getting a 60 dollar digitial download on time. Bummer? Yes. Serious issue, in the grand scheme of things no. There's nothing here to debate. Sony is obviously having techincal issue. Hopefully they resolve them soon. The sun will still come up tomorrow.

But please continue.

They got NBA2K on their servers but not the Show?

# 747 indcolts18288 @ 05/06/14 04:54 AM

This is why you don't do digital downloads. Always better to have a hard copy. With that said, sorry you are having issues. Can't wait til gamestop opens!

If you don't wanna complain or anything then don't like you said it's your choice. Just don't bash the people who do complain because we feel cheated.

I haven't bashed anyone..so make your remarks elsewhere..

Yeah I don't know the limitations of what they are doing. Clearly they were not prepared or had some sort of failure without having redundancy in place. If that's the case, there's really no excuse for it, as Sony is not a mom and pop shop, and this is not their first day in the digital distribution business.

has anyone had any success bitching at sony yet?

Awww man and you had me...right up to the point where you said you took the day off for this game. I am all for your right to complain, but that is a you issue, not a them issue. I hope you don't use that part in your argument for a refund because that wont fly in their camp, or anyone else's. I appreciate your frustration though, and other than that you are right.

Okay. Well, last I checked we aren't on a world news forum. So in this little realm we have here, it's a serious issue.

There is something to debate. The fact that you claim it is ridiculous for me (and many others here) to want what I was promised and what we paid for. No, my life does not revolve around this game. It never has and never will, but I set time out around it and was not delivered what I was told I would be. I was perfectly happy when it was 30 minutes to 1 hour, but now I am angry.

If you did in fact digitally pre-order this and are not dissatisfied or want something from this, then I have nothing else to say to you. If you already have your copy and are just hanging out in here like the other fellow, well..

Or if you're like me, and just don't want to have to store a bunch of physical media around your house. I love digital distribution and have been sticking to it for some time.

I see why people want the physical disc though, it's tangible, it's in their hands, and they don't have to wait around for a 40+ GB download. Not everyone has ultra fast connections to the internet.

Hopefully this is a lesson learned for Sony and MS for that matter. As these consoles get more advanced, these downloads are going to do nothing but get bigger.

Never once had that happen, that's not gonna happen, I will enjoy, and sorry for your luck.

Was this on PS3 or PS4? Can't even tell you how many times I had to replace the CD drive in my PS3 due to those issues. So far the PS4 seems much better, though.

I ordered digitally, and am disappointed. But the second I start getting angry as you put it, or that upset over this hobby, I'll quit, because that's when the hobby stops being fun. I wasn't going to sit around and watch 50GB's download anyway so I simply decided to go on with my evening. Although this thread did provide entertainment.

In the grand scheme, this isn't that serious of a deal, like I said, there are much bigger things out there to be outraged by.

time to light this doobie. Hopefully it doesn't make me pass out before the game is downloadable.
