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 like this take on it.

Also, it seems as though they are giving refunds to those who ask. While you may not get additional compensation and keep your download, they are being responsive to customer complaints. Don't forget that these support people are trained on what to say and are not given much more information otherwise. While it could be handled better, I am happy with customer service so far.

Now, if this is the case then I'm going to go from aggravated to pretty ticked off. Because if they're telling me it's not going to be available until after 6:00pm, I'm going to have to go through all the bs of getting a refund and then driving to a store and finding/buying the game.

I don't want to have to do that, but like I said before...I took a day off work for this.

I will never, ever, everevereverever...do a digital pre-order again. If I'm buying digitial it's going to be an impulse purchase on a game available immediately.

Listen, I've been doing this a long time. I'm not throwing my weight, I'm keeping the peace. If you have an issue with the way the board is run, there are plenty of other gaming forums I can point you to, including IGN, GameFAQS, and The Shows official forums at TheShowNation.com

So if they refund to our wallet, is the money stuck in our wallet for our next digital download? Or can u get that back as well?

Physical copy takes the same amount of HDD space though.

Julio R.: According to the user agreement all sales are final. However i will process your refund. Refund will be processed to the wallet within 7 business days. You will receive an email once it�s been processed.

I got my refund! Someone asked about funds back to your bank account/credit card or PSN Wallet. I'm satisfied with it being in my PSN wallet. I'll probably use that up over time on sales and such. Probably not on a pre-order tho! haha!

This won't make me very popular here and I understand why everybody is upset, but it's not as if the games release date has come and gone. Today was launch day and you guys will get your game today (hopefully). So don't expect compensation and stuff like that. I'm sure the game will be available for all today and that's all they owe us.

I've been through this with Sony before. If they refund your wallet, you won't see it for two weeks. It's not instantaneous.

Got kicked from the queue at #9. Now I'm 81. Guess I'll call.

$60 is alot of money to just leave in my wallet imho, I very rarely ever buy anything in the store! The one time I do, this happens! Im just gonna wait it out, what choice do I have really. If it goes too much later in the day I will get ahold of PS support and let them know nicely that they owe me something extra for my troubles!

Stinks man. I learned my lesson with Bf4 with the DLC stuff. I had the PS3 but only for the SHOW, my other titles were for XB. Long story short, I was unaware of the Sony store updates because I too, took a day off for BF and rollout didn't occur till 6pm

Sort of. But then again they advertised that the game would be available at 12:01am est at the point of sale. So, I don't think it's unreasonable to say they actually owed us that (or something reasonably close to it).

We appreciate your understanding. ______________ However, I am currently getting transferred to be refunded. Looks like I'll be able to cancel the order because of the delay. Also, someone in another forum made a good point. The Gamestop download code is supposed to be for 10:00 am EST, I wonder if it will be ready by then?

This is unacceptable. I took a day off from work - which I never do - just to have a full day to enjoy this year's game. 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.

To be honest, they didn't say the game will be available at 12:01 am....they said it would be available after 12:01 am so technically, they aren't necessarily incorrect. Just saying.

We've waited this long, a couple more hours aint gonna kill us. (And for those of you who wanna say Physical copy people got it, we dont, this aint fair, or whatever reason, this aint fair.... Life aint fair, get used to it.)

A lot of people aren't goin to get to play at all today due to the size of the download.

Go here : https://support.us.playstation.com/app/contact_options/

Then, choose the first option (Live Chat).

You'll chat with an agent, explain the situation, be polite and you'll get good service.

Note : It's a wallet refund, but still, at least, got the money back. I guess by the time NHL 15 gets out, pre-loading will be on and working.

I bought Tomb Raider when they had a flash sale on the PS4 for $25. While it's not a little amount, it's not a huge amount either. I have the case number so as long as I get the money, be it a week or a month, I'm happy. If $60 was going to break me financially, I shouldn't be buying this game in the first place.

Also, they didn't have to refund me per the sales agreement, but they did. So while they have a lot to get blamed for today, customer service is doing a good job. That should not be overlooked as those people rarely get loved or appreciated!
